    I'll be moving to Arlington in about 6 months, and wanted to get some advice on where to live.

    What are some good areas in Arlington to live?

    Thanks!

    I grew up near lake arlington. Went to Martin HS. Real nice place growing up! My parents still live there but I haven't really spent much time back there since '03.

    Arlington has a World of Beer, is close to a Flying Saucer, and is not Dallas. Is there really more to know?

    Dallas also has a WOB but I would choose Arlington over Dallas any day.

    The only reason I go to Dallas is to go through Dallas.

    Look at Pantego and Dalworthington Gardens. They are both inside of Arlington.
