The Downtown Arlington Management Corporation is committed to improving nearby neighborhoods that are both served by and impacted by neighborhood uses.
These neighborhoods include the Old Town Historic District, featuring primary Colonial Revival style houses; and the South Center Street Historic District, comprised of Bungalow/Craftsman style homes. Both these historic districts abut the downtown business district, and other multi-family and single family housing has been constructed on nearby streets adjoining the University of Texas at Arlington.
Additional housing development is expected in the coming years, and our organization will work closely with the City of Arlington to attract and retain quality housing stock, while working to improve and maintain existing housing around the downtown area.
