Arlington Heights, located between Arlington Center and Lexington Center, is a residential and walkable Arlington neighborhood with a hilltop commercial district and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue at Park Avenue, where independent cafés, bakeries, and small storefronts line the sidewalks under steady foot traffic. Community pillars include Capitol Theatre, Menotomy Grill & Tavern, and Kickstand Cafe. Early-20th-century Colonials and classic New England multifamilies shape the streetscape, with pocket gardens and stone walls adding texture. Robbins Farm Park frames the edge with open lawns and skyline views, while the Minuteman Bikeway links daily errands to longer rides. A calm, lived-in pace carries from the avenue into the quieter blocks.
