Centered on East Arlington and Capitol Square, 02474 blends tree-lined, walkable streets with an easygoing, civic-minded vibe. Expect classic New England seasons—crisp, colorful falls and snowy winters—plus quick access to the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway, Alewife Brook Greenway, Magnolia Park, and Thorndike Field and dog park. The iconic Capitol Theatre anchors a low-key arts and film scene, while Gail Ann’s Coffee Shop, Za Arlington, and Taipei Gourmet highlight a strong dining and coffee culture. Daily needs are simple with Mass Ave and Broadway conveniences, and larger grocery runs are close by at Fresh Pond’s Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Target. MBTA buses connect to Alewife’s Red Line and Harvard, and Route 2 is minutes away, making it commuter friendly. You’ll find a mix of long-time residents and newcomers, with plenty of family- and pet-friendly hangouts and weekend biking, jogging, and park meetups. According to Zillow Market Trends, recent median rent is around $3,000/month, with most listings roughly $2,200–$3,800.
