Arlington Overview

Considered a part of the thriving Mid-Cities region of Texas, Arlington apartments have grown in demand with each passing year. Offering easy access to the excitement and job markets of both Dallas and Fort Worth, this north Texas hot spot is well worth considering if you are planning a move.

What is the history of Arlington?

A spot along the Texas and Pacific Railway, Arlington was founded in 1876. Taking its name after Robert E. Lee's home in Virginia, the city's reputation as an agricultural center accelerated its growth, leading quickly to a number of cotton gins. Telephone service was launched in the early 1900s, well ahead of many other cities its size, and Arlington experienced a growth rate bigger than many other US cities from 1950-1990. Today, it remains a gem of the Lone Star State, home to a number of universities as well as the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

How is the weather in Arlington?

Residents of Arlington apartments can enjoy mild winters and pleasant spring temperatures, although summers tend to be very hot and rather lengthy. It is not uncommon for temps to stretch into the 100s well into September, and March is more likely to yield a sunburn than snow.

How do I get around town?

The Metro Arlington Express serves as the primary bus option for those living in apartments in Arlington, and while bicycling has become increasingly popular most locals still claim ownership of at least one personal vehicle. The Union-Pacific Railroad passes by the city but offers only transport of goods and not passenger service, though the nearby Dallas Airport is a large national hub and presents an easy travel option for most.

What is the Arlington commute like?

A pair of interstates cross-cross the city and offer the easiest access to Arlington, namely I-20 and I-30. US Highway 287 covers the southwestern end of the Arlington, and I-35 is just a 20 mile ride away, leading south towards Austin and north to Oklahoma. Commuter traffic to Dallas and Fort Worth can be high during the peak hours, and snarls of construction are a constant.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Arlington Citizen Voice' and the 'Arlington Journal' both act as primary print news sources for the city, although the Dallas publishing realm can also be found with ease in the city limits. Radio is diverse and plentiful, with genres ranging from Tejano to talk, classic rock to Top 40 easily found on the dial. Just about every major broadcast affiliate can be found in the area, including PBS, FOX and NBC.

Why live in Arlington, TX?

Offering convenience and affordability, Arlington apartments make a great alternative to the higher prices and crowded atmosphere of nearby Fort Worth or Dallas. Still close enough to make an easy commute to the job markets of those larger cities, apartments in Arlington boast the smaller city feel that so many Texas residents crave.

What Arlington landmarks should I see?

The University of Texas at Arlington is the second largest of its kind in the entire state, and those with a thirst for knowledge can easily spend hours strolling the scenic campus. The International Bowling Hall of Fame draws visitors on a steady stream, and a number of historic landmarks dot the city center as well. The famous Planetarium Dome Theater is one of the largest in all the state.

What is there to do around Arlington?

6 Flags Over Texas is a blast, complete with a huge array of roller-coasters, and the Gallery at UT Arlington collects world-famous art from across the globe. Get your shopping on at the Park Mall, which also offers a number of eateries and a movie theater, or cheer on the Dallas Cowboys with a home game. Theatre Arlington presents dramatic productions all year long as well, and Arlington rentals are never far from some of the that oh-so-famous Texas BBQ.

Any annual festivals or Arlington events to know?

The yearly July 4th celebration is legendary in Arlington, complete with a full scale parade. The summer concert series at the Levitt Pavilion presents a number of free music shows each year, including popular regional draws like Asleep At The Wheel and Polyphonic Spree. Lola's in nearby Fort Worth also hosts a yearly live music bash, and the Dallas Tattoo Festival draws ink fans from all over the nation every spring.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head to Oklahoma City for all that it has to offer, or head west to the Big Bend camping area of west Texas. Arlington also offers plenty of outdoor fun, including fishing, swimming and hiking.

Where is the best place to move in Arlington?

Those wishing to commute to surrounding cities generally tend to live close to the on-ramps of I-20 and I-30, although Arlington apartments to fit just about every lifestyle are found with ease. Start your life in this Texas hotspot today!
