Above you can see where the condo is located (marked by the green arrow). Across the street you can see there is the Arlington Reservoir which has a one mile walking trail all the way around it and a town beach for swimming in the summer. There are two playgrounds accessible on the path which are easy to walk to. Between the condo location and the reservoir is a baseball/soccer field and the Minuteman Bike Path. To the left of the reservoir, if you were to walk down the bike path, you would get to the Arlington Great Meadows, a protected reserve with walking trails.
I also wanted to put up some information and links about Arlington and some of the nearby amenities for a sense of the town and community.
Arlington Town Website Arlington is six miles northwest of Boston and bordered on the north by Winchester, on the east by Medford and Somerville, on the south by Cambridge and Belmont and on the west by Lexington. It is 5.5 square miles and roughly 45,000 people live here.
Dallin Elementary School The Dallin School was rebuilt in 2006 and is in the top 10% of elementary schools in Massachusetts. This is an excellent school for children grades K-5.
Robbins Library The town library is about two miles away from this property. You can easily park in the parking lot or you can take the 77, 78 or 79 bus to get there. The library hosts many great community and children's programs. Check out the link to learn more.
Trader Joe's Located right across the street, this grocery store is an excellent resource for inexpensive indulgences. Everything from milk and butter to gourmet cheeses and organic meats.
Dining Lots to choose from! Start with bagels for breakfast at Panera or a coffe from Starbucks . Then there's I-Chef for pizza and subs, the Jade Garden for chinese food and Sala Thai for authentic Thai cuisine. Also delcious is Something Savory and the Sunnyside Diner.
