Living in downtown Arlington Heights
Downtown Arlington Heights condos put you a short walk from the Metra station, dinner, a show at the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre and the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. It is the one part of the village where you can leave the car parked most of the week.
Most of downtown is condos and townhomes, from older mid-rise buildings on Vail Avenue and Miner Street to newer buildings like Campbell Courte and Wing Street Residences. Each building has its own HOA, rules and reserve fund, and those details matter as much as the unit itself.

Every building is different
Older buildings often have lower prices and higher monthly dues that cover heat or water. Newer buildings may offer in-unit laundry, balconies and garage parking. Compare the total monthly cost, not just the price.
Read the HOA documents early
Ask for the budget, the reserve study, the last two years of minutes and any planned special assessments. A thin reserve fund can mean a big bill after you move in.
Check the rental and pet rules
Many downtown buildings limit rentals and pets. If you may rent the unit out later, confirm the rental cap before you buy.
Parking is part of the price
Some units include a deeded garage space, some lease one and some have none. It changes resale value, so we confirm it in writing.
