The northwest Chicagoland suburb of Arlington Heights is one of the region’s most in-demand communities, and it’s easy to see why. The landscape is pure Americana, with a charming downtown district of storefront shops and cafes and a collective of lush parks scattered throughout the landscape—head to the delightful Lake Arlington for a relaxing afternoon in the sun or an invigorating bike ride through the surrounding trails.
The town is perhaps best known for Arlington International Racecourse, a landmark institution and home of the famous Arlington Million horse race. On top of the quiet atmosphere, the extremely low crime rate and absolutely top-notch public schools make the town a dream for families. With downtown Chicago less than an hour away by train or by car (and for those long-distance trips, O’Hare International Airport barely outside the town limits), Arlington Heights is quite popular with commuters.
