I can’t wait to take you around the hugely popular town of Arlington, MA. A commuter’s dream, this desirable location is just eight miles outside of Boston. Accessible to all major highways, the town is served by many MBTA bus routes, as well as the Red Line subway at nearby Alewife Station, and the commuter rail in West Medford.
The Minuteman Bikeway also calls a portion of Arlington home. This 11-mile trail runs from Alewife Station in Cambridge, through Arlington and Lexington, and ends in Bedford. For those of you looking to cut back on traffic time, biking to Alewife and hopping on the train is an excellent way to get into Boston.
