Sports: Page 20 6. Utilities: Pages 21-22 YOUR MEMPHIS RELOCATION EXPERTS. Arlington, TN Arlington, TN is a small town that is rapidly growing and located about 35 minutes East of Memphis. In fact, after the 2010 census it was reported that Arlington was one of the fastest growing communities in the entire state of Tennessee. The small town feel, good schools and affordable housing are just a few reasons why Arlington has become so desirable. Also, if you work downtown, the commute is definitely bearable, as traffic in Memphis is not as congested as other major cities, even during rush hour. Arlington Real Estate Information No matter your price range, you should be able to find a home in Arlington, TN that meets your needs, although if you prefer condo living this would not be a good option, as the vast majority of homes here are single-family. Also, this area currently provides a great opportunity to buy a home with plenty of square feet as well as a good amount of land if that is something that is important to you. Popular neighborhoods in Arlington, TN include Osborn Meadows, Trails of Arlington, Windward Slopes, Summer Meadows, Gray’s Creek, Harrell’s Ridge and Hunter’s Walk. Lifestyle in Arlington, TN Although Arlington, TN doesn’t have as many shopping options as some of the more developed areas in Memphis, there are still some great local boutique shops available.
