About Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights is a community of approximately 77,676 residents in Cook County County, IL. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Well-established northwest suburb with excellent schools featuring strong housing demand and active teardown-rebuild activity near downtown.

Mix of 1950s–1960s brick ranch homes, 1970s split-levels, and modern new-construction two-stories replacing older housing stock.

Local Considerations

  • Aging combined sewer systems in pre-1970 neighborhoods cause basement sewage backups during heavy rainfall events.
  • Mature tree canopy in older sections creates ongoing root intrusion into sewer laterals and foundation drain tiles.

Water System

Village water supplied by the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency drawing from Lake Michigan.

Emergency Access

IL-53 and I-90 tollway provide excellent regional access with arterial roads like Arlington Heights Road connecting residential areas.
