Arlington is an entertainment paradise located just a short drive outside of Dallas. The city is best known for the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers, and Six Flags Over Texas. Arlington has a little something to keep everyone entertained, which makes it a great place for senior living.

Senior apartments are communities geared exclusively toward residents 55+, and provide amenities similar to a typical apartment complex. These communities offer older adults an easier lifestyle by taking care of tasks such as yard work and household repairs, but they typically provide limited organized social events and few additional services compared to those offered by independent or assisted living communities.
