Living here

Wooded, calm, and easy to call home.

Arden Heights is one of the greener neighborhoods on the South Shore, wrapped around the Arden Heights Woods preserve. The streets are quiet and residential, the pace is unhurried, and the tree cover gives the whole area a settled, family feel. The housing mixes detached single family homes with semi attached homes, which keeps a range of price points in play.

It is a practical, central spot too. You are close to the shopping and services along the South Shore's main corridors, near the parkway and the expressway for getting around, and surrounded by other family neighborhoods. For buyers who want the quiet and the greenery without the top of market price tag, Arden Heights is a smart place to look.
