Home MenuSearch for Available Affordable Housing
The Town of Arlington does not administer or rent affordable housing units but we do maintain a list of all properties in Town that include Affordable Housing Units. At any given time, there may not be any units available, but you are encouraged to reach out to the property managers at EACH development to request being placed on a waitlist.
All Affordable Housing Units in the State MUST be listed on at least one of the sites below, so please visit each one to search for available units and to sign up for future notifications.
