East Arlington, located between Alewife Brook Reservation and Arlington Center, is a walkable and historic Arlington neighborhood with a river-edge greenway and a compact village main street. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue at Lake Street, where indie cafes, bakeries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks busy. Local pillars include Capitol Theatre & Lounge, Kickstand Cafe, and Menotomy Grill & Tavern. Housing leans toward classic New England two-families and porch-fronted Victorians, with pockets of mid-century apartments near the Cambridge line. The Minuteman Bikeway threads through, linking daily errands to longer rides. Spy Pond and the Alewife Brook paths add water views and a quieter counterpoint to Mass Ave.

R2
Two-Family District
The predominant use in R2 is a two-family dwelling or duplex. This district is generally served by local streets only and its neighborhoods are largely walkable and well established. It includes areas that are generally within walking distance of the stores and transportation facilities along Massachusetts Avenue and Broadway. The Town discourages uses that consume large amounts of land, uses that would detract from the single-family and two-family or duplex residential character of these neighborhoods, and uses that would otherwise interfere with the intent of this Bylaw.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Infrastructure
Recreation
Park & open space
