Arlington Heights
Almost completely encircled by the Mill Creek Expressway portion of I-75, due to one of the country’s only urban interstate splits, Arlington Heights has a tiny population consisting of only 827 residents. The entire village has a total area of 0.27 square miles. Broad, quiet avenues flanked by older, wooden houses feature ample sidewalks and mature trees. The peaceful atmosphere of this small neighborhood can be felt despite the rumble of nearby interstate traffic. Incorporated in 1889, “Heights” was added to the original name of Arlington because another Ohio municipality was already using the name.
