Arlington Heights Illinois Homes
If you're looking for the perfect place to live, there are many factors and preferences you'll have to take into account. Of course you'll want to live somewhere safe, an area with excellent schools that's a good place to raise a family. But you're also attracted by all that an urban environment has to offer, such as major sports venues, arts and cultural events, exciting nightlife and world-class educational opportunities. You might consider Arlington Heights, only 23 miles northwest of Chicago's Loop.
Then again, you'd like to have easy access to outdoor recreation. And it would be nice if there were some local excitement as well. Arlington Heights is home to Arlington Park, historically one of the most innovative horse racing facilities ever and the first track in the world to hold a million-dollar race. If you'd rather do something more active than cheering on your favorite pony, the North Shore and lake are easily accessible for boating, swimming, hiking and other outdoor activities.
Your perfect hometown should be visually attractive, too. The village of Arlington Heights, though it has had a population boom, is careful about regulating the community's planning and design, so as to maintain the gracious atmosphere. There are ample condos in the business district, but the neighborhoods tend to be single-family homes on generous lots.
It's no wonder the village has had a boom, when you consider all it has to offer. Even Walter "Sweetness" Payton chose to make his home here. Why not you?
