Arlington Apartments and Rentals

The city of Arlington, MA may seem like any other picturesque New England town, but it isn't. Many of the residents of Arlington can trace their ancestries back to Irish, Italian, and English heritage. The city's population is approximately 42,800, and more than half of the residents here hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Since the residents are highly educated, it's no wonder that the median household income is higher than the Massachusetts average. Residents living in Arlington apartments for rent get what they pay for in this traditional New England town.

Arlington's history dates back more than 300 years. Originally settled as Menotomy in 1635, the city earned the name of Arlington in 1867 after the soldiers who were buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Top employers like Acquia, Gemvara, and the Start Group are located in the Boston Metro Area. Four miles from Harvard University and eight miles from downtown Boston makes for easy commutes to school and work and access to public transportation.

With connection to so much early American history, any history buff will enjoy every opportunity to explore the community and its surroundings. Residents will always learn something new when examining Native American culture that once existed there or the New England colonial period that left its mark. Learn about the life of sculptor Cyrus Dallin at the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum or take a tour through the Old Schwamb Mill. Explore the history behind prestigious Harvard University or take a trip to Boston. No matter what residents enjoy doing, living in an Arlington rental is the ideal city.
