Arlington Heights is a broad Fort Worth neighborhood west of downtown — a mix of housing types from the 1920s through 1960s, ranging from modest bungalows to larger character homes. Not all of Arlington Heights is in a historic overlay, which gives more design flexibility than Fairmount or Ryan Place. But the neighborhood's architectural character still rewards thoughtful addition design.
