Where to stay in Arlington
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Arlington is big enough to need a direction. It runs from the Southside boundary at its southern end toward the Northside, with several bridge connections to Downtown and to the nearby beaches, so where a visitor stays inside it decides which of those is closest. The bridges do the work.
Ask which end before booking.
About Arlington
What are the main landmarks in Arlington?
The architecture is the thing here. Arlington is known for mid-century modern houses and holds several designed by Robert C. Broward, Taylor Hardwick and William Morgan, all of them local architects working in the decades after the region filled in. The houses are private.
What is the history of Arlington?
Consolidation brought it in. Jacksonville and Duval County merged their governments in 1968 and Arlington was incorporated into the city as part of that, which is why it reads as a region rather than as a neighbourhood. The city counts five other regions beside it.
Urban Core, Northside, Southside, Westside and the Beaches are the rest.
Where is Arlington?
