History + Heritage

Founded in 1969, Arlington is one of the oldest multifamily companies in the United States. As an early company in the industry, Arlington has the relationships, connections, and experience that others simply do not and will never. Because of this, it’s likely Arlington has tried it, seen it, pioneered it, invented it, or built it in its more than 50 years in business.
