Our Take
Arlington’s housing is cheap and schools have decent ratings, but the neighborhood is very car‑centric with limited transit, moderate crime, and few parks. It’s budget‑friendly if you don’t mind commuting and lack of walkability, but the trade‑offs may outweigh the benefits for many families.
