Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights! If you follow the gentle rise of the hill just north of U.S. 35, you’ll find us—perched high above the city like it’s keeping a friendly eye on downtown Dayton. From up there, the skyline looks close enough to tap, and hopping onto any major roadway feels as quick as flipping a turn signal. It’s a small, close-knit neighborhood, the kind where people wave from porches and dogs seem to know everyone’s walking route by heart.

Strolling down the tree-lined streets, you’ll spot cozy bungalows and proud American Foursquares, each with its own personality. On sunny days, families wander over to Arlington Heights Park, where basketballs thump, kids race across playgrounds, and neighbors gather in the open green space to trade stories or plan impromptu cookouts.

Just down the way, West Third Street hums with local dining and everyday essentials, and the Westown Shopping Center adds a dash of convenience to the mix. The West Branch of the Dayton Metro Library is a steady companion year-round, welcoming readers, crafters, students, and curious minds of all ages. And at Third and Abbey, the West Police Station helps keep the neighborhood’s friendly, connected vibe humming along.

Maybe that’s why Arlington Heights feels a little like a hometown within the city—a place with big views, a warm spirit, and the kind of easy living that invites you to stay awhile… or maybe even put down roots for good.
