One of the county’s best kept secret, Arlington remains a quiet, family-friendly town with a low cost of living, where star-filled skies outshine street lamps. Real estate options here consist of single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses as well as land for custom building.
The local economy thrives with the Arlington Industrial Park, home to several employers in the area. Arlington’s barbeque positions the city’s culinary delights in a category of its own with the Annual Barbecue Burnout in November featuring live entertainment, activities for families and children, and of course, a challenge to the best barbecue.
With an active community and spirit, Arlington’s Beautification Committee awards residents and businesses with the most well-kept and attractive yards, promoting civic pride and enhancing the landscape in the city. To further celebrate the community spirit, Arlington in April is an annual event held in the historic downtown area featuring live music, petting zoo, craft booths, games, car shows and stagecoach rides.
