Arlington Farm is an apartment complex consisting a variety of residents, including students, couples, families, and professionals. Students, in particular sophomores, are the primary residents of the complex, therefore fittingly called the "sophomore dorms" by some. Arlington Farm is managed by Tandem Properties.

Students commonly refer to this complex as "A-town" or "Arlington Farms" (with an "s", especially by Unitrans drivers). It's also known as the "Black Hole" because many times residents don't venture outside of Arlington since there is pretty much always something going on. They have police officers who patrol the property in order to quiet down the parties and for the tenants' own safety. Residents note that the east side on the complex, nicknamed "Farlington" because its on the "other side", tends to be quiet since it is less dense.

The name Arlington Farm refers to the original farm in West Davis. There is a memorial plaque along the bike trail on the Lincoln Highway, just across the street from the original farmhouse. Arlington Boulevard is also named after this farm.

2009-04-07 12:31:00   I'm considering two specific apartments: 1403 (which shares a wall with laundry room) and 409 (which faces pool and presumably lots of pool-parties). They are both 1-bed with Study, on first floor. I'm a quiet person and prefer a quiet place. Can anyone tell me which apartment is better? Is sharing a wall with laundry room going to be very noisy (and shaky)? Thanks!!~ —garb

2009-08-28 20:10:46   This is the WORST place i have ever lived. Not only is it EXTREMELY loud but they have a spider and roach INFESTATION. it's horrifying. but on a good note the parties were so wild that a cop camped right outside my front door every thursday-saturday. However, peeping toms are still in business on week days... Anyway maintenance is good. —christinag

2009-09-13 13:46:18   arlington is waaaaaay loud. whoever wanted a "quiet" place needs to look somewhere else. people party like crazy here. its basically the sophomore loser dorms. everyone does drugs and smokes pot. lots of frat losers and asian wannabe gangsters. very loud. management sucks. my friend got his tv stolen there. lots of people still there. beware! dont do drugs here or u will get caught! —andy quieer —andy890

2009-11-19 15:50:30   Just a quick note about the noise — the East side of Arlington Farm is relatively quiet, so don't judge the whole apartment complex from the numerous complains about LOUDNESS in the larger, more "party-oriented" West side. —Gareth
