About the Scarsdale neighborhood in Arlington Heights
Scarsdale Arlington Heights is one of the village's established south-side neighborhoods, just east of Arlington Heights Road and a few minutes from downtown and the Metra station. Streets are lined with mature trees, and many have no sidewalks, which gives the area a quieter, more private feel.
The homes are a mix of Georgians, colonials and Tudors, some dating back to the late 1930s, with sprawling ranches on larger lots at the southern end in Scarsdale Estates. Because so many homes are one of a kind, pricing them takes more than a quick look at the averages.
