Arlington: Minuteman Path and Suburban Character
Arlington sits between Cambridge and Lexington, just six miles from downtown Boston. The Minuteman Bikeway, an 11-mile paved trail that follows the route Paul Revere took on his midnight ride, runs through the center of Arlington on its way from the Alewife Red Line station to Bedford. The trail is one of the most heavily used rail trails in the state, drawing cyclists and walkers year-round.
Arlington Center, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Pleasant Street, has an independent commercial district with restaurants, a cinema, and small shops. The town's housing consists primarily of single-family homes and two-family houses from the early to mid-20th century, with some larger apartment buildings along Mass Ave. Arlington was a farming town until the railroad and then the streetcar made it accessible to Boston commuters in the late 1800s.
The Robbins Library, a Richardsonian Romanesque building from 1892, anchors the center of town. Spy Pond, in the western part of Arlington, provided ice for the Tudor Ice Company, which shipped blocks of frozen pond water as far as India in the 1830s and 1840s. The town has no subway station, but bus routes along Mass Ave connect to the Red Line at Alewife in Cambridge.
Arlington's proximity to Alewife, the Red Line terminus, has brought development pressure to the eastern end of town. The Mugar property, a large undeveloped parcel near the station, has been the subject of planning discussions. The town operates under a representative town meeting form of government. Arlington's demographics have shifted somewhat as younger families have moved in alongside the older residents who settled in the town during the mid-20th century suburban expansion.
