What connects a lifestyle center to its community? What makes it more than a collection of stores and restaurants? What gives it roots and relationships?

The answer to each of the questions involves an understanding of how experiences connect people to both the history and the future of their community.

The Mathes family has been connected to Arlington for more than a half century. The family has experienced Arlington's growth and helped shape it.

As the city's first and award-winning lifestyle community, Arlington Highlands now contributes to the Arlington experience. It provides a "home town place" for its residents and, for its visitors, a taste of what Arlington as a home town has to offer.

Arlington Highlands continuously explores ways to deepen its connection to Arlington -- by staging community-focused events in Arlington Highlands' parks, by supporting tenants' special events, and by supporting initiatives focused on making Arlington a better place to live.

Arlington Highlands' tenants themselves reach out to the community in multiple ways, each supporting a cause near and dear to its stakeholders' hearts. Studio Movie Grill offers its space for community-based events and programs. Arlington Highlands and its tenants represent much more than a collection of stores and restaurants. We connect to this community, and that's what makes us part of the home town experience.
