One of Riverside’s oldest neighborhoods is laden with restaurants and stores

Historic Shopping Dining Great Location Convenient

Located about four miles southwest of Downtown Riverside, Arlington is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The historic neighborhood blends the old and new with its small-town charm and modern amenities. Renters can choose from Mid-Century and newly built apartments and condos, along with Mediterranean-style houses. Arlington is laden with locally owned restaurants, specialty shops, medical facilities, and more. For even more options, Galleria at Tyler, a large mall with 180-plus stores and eateries, is located directly west of the neighborhood. When locals aren’t enjoying Arlington’s abundant amenities, you’ll find them going to one of the neighborhood parks or venturing out to California Citrus State Historic Park, a sprawling park with citrus and avocado groves.
