Located fewer than 10 miles northwest of downtown Boston, the bustling neighborhood of East Arlington combines a small-town atmosphere with the active nightlife of a larger city. The commercial district runs along Massachusetts Avenue, while homes for rent line the side streets. Many commuters walk or bike the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway to the Alewife T stop, which takes them into Boston and Cambridge.
Before leaving your East Arlington apartment for work, walk to Quebrada Baking Company for a cup of coffee and a handmade almond croissant. Pizza lovers enjoy the creative pies available at Za and the thin-crust pizzas at OTTO. For a night out, check out the films at the historic Capitol Theatre, which was built in 1925. Film patrons can purchase ice cream at Capitol Creamery right around the corner to satisfy the night's sweet tooth.
