Existing Land Use

(as of December 2013)

North Arlington (north of I-30)
The area north of I-30 includes the smallest percentage of land used for single
family development and the largest percentage used for apartment complexes
in the entire city. Single family residences are widely distributed throughout
north Arlington, but the apartment complexes are clustered in several places.
Numerous complexes are found in the Lamar Boulevard and Lincoln Drive
area. Other clusters are located on Lamar Boulevard between Collins Street and
Baird Farm Road, in the NE Green Oaks Boulevard corridor, and near the Brown
Boulevard and SH 360 area. Overall, nine percent of the land in north Arlington
is developed as apartment complexes.
North Arlington also has the largest percentage of parks and open space of any
area in Arlington. River Legacy parks account for a large part of the 18 percent
of the land area used for parks.
Some of the largest tracts of vacant developable land are also in north Arlington
along the Trinity River. This area is currently being developed with residential
and non-residential uses as part of a planned development. The municipal
landfill is also located in this area.
Office buildings, warehouses and other commercial uses can be found
along Lamar Boulevard and Corporate Drive vicinity. Commonly known as
Brookhollow, this area contains many multi-story office buildings, restaurants,
and hotels.
