It's just across the river from one of the world's most important (and self-important) cities, yet Arlington has a folksy, small-town air. Tidy homes sit close together, neighbors wave at each other, and residents scoff at more uppity colleagues who live in "the District" (Washington) or tonier suburbs like McLean and Fairfax. Arlington has a population of 203,689, and its weather ranges from the mid-20s to the upper 80s from winter to summer.
