Arlington Heights - 12/10/2018
I’ve lived in this city my whole life and it is the absolute best. The people are so kind and always greet you with a smile. The education systems are very good and it is a kind and caring community as a whole. There are a lot of opportunities for youth and adults, and there is a lot to do.
It’s very close to malls, amusement parks, theaters, and more. Chicago is also very close and always available to explore. One of the best places to live.

Downtown Arlington Heights has a lot going on, especially in the summer. There are good restaurants and other businesses, and the festivals/music are very good, too. A definite

Why to live here - 2/6/2011
After growing up in Deerfield, IL, there is no doubt in my mind that places like Deerfield and Arlington Heights have exceptional education for children. Education people cannot get in lots of areas in this country. The economy is expensive here, but the benefits are a safe community, good education and above average socio-economic population. The downside, lots of anxiety and competition for the jobs and money

Good and Bad things about Arlington Heights - 7/29/2010
Arlington Heights, IL. is a clean, low crime area. Good roads, plenty of shopping (very close to Woodfield and Randhurst Malls) and easy access to the Expressway (90) to Downtown Chicago. There were some crime incidents that did happen here, such as a few years ago some rapes were reported, graffiti on local garages occurred and a neighborhood Blockbuster was robbed several times (store is now gone). Unfortunately, having a clean, low crime area comes with a price, such as very high property taxes and unfriendly people.
Having lived here for decades, I find that people in Arlington Heights are generally rude, disinterested, apathetic and indifferent. For example, Neighbors will stare at you as you walk by, but never say "Hello". I make the effort to be friendly (in case you were wondering) and I get a half-hearted wave or no response. A favored pastime here seems to be taking the whole family for a bicycle ride on the sidewalks and nearly running pedestrians over. These

A great place to raise the family - 1/11/2010
I have lived in Arlington Heights all my life and it really is a nice place to bring up the family. Went to the fine schools in the area and it really is a low crime, family-friendly town. Frontier Days in the summer is an awesome festival and the library is top-notch. My parents still live in Arlington Heights and I live in Wheeling since Arlington Heights is prohibitively expensive for first-time homebuyers. Taxes are expensive, but nothing comes

Over-crowded...Over-rated! - 4/13/2007
This town has gotten too congested for its own good. Ridiculous traffic any time of day; lousy, inattentive drivers. Cost of living is way over priced. Neighbors who like to think they are friendly...but really
