Arlington Heights, Illinois is one of the most completely realized and most genuinely livable communities in all of Chicagoland — a large Cook County village offering an outstanding downtown, world-class performing arts, and a natural inheritance that makes it one of the most quietly extraordinary suburbs in all of northeastern Illinois.
The Marriott Theatre delivers Broadway-quality musical theater in an intimate theater-in-the-round setting that draws devoted audiences from across the Chicago region. Arlington Heights Historical Museum offers a beautifully realized campus of restored 19th-century structures that brings the village’s full history vividly to life. Busse Woods and Ned Brown Forest Preserve spreads across 3,700 stunning acres with exceptional birding, fishing, and trail walking just minutes from downtown.
The dining scene is equally impressive — Salted Pig delivers some of the most accomplished contemporary American cooking in the entire northwest suburban corridor, and Peggy Kinnane’s is a warmly beloved Irish pub institution serving perfectly poured pints and excellent fish and chips that make a Sunday afternoon in Arlington Heights feel like exactly the kind of afternoon worth finding.
