Background
A brief history
Arlington Bay was developed by Morrison Homes in the mid-2000s on a conservation-wooded parcel in southwest Dr. Phillips. The community was planned as a small, family-oriented neighborhood of 93 single-family homes with generous lot sizes and a focus on natural surroundings. Build-out was completed by the early 2010s. The neighborhood has maintained steady appeal because of its limited size and mature landscaping — the oaks and pines create a canopy feel unusual for a newer community.
The feel
What it's like to live here
Arlington Bay feels like a real neighborhood rather than a large subdivision. Streets loop around small interior lakes, and the tree canopy is mature for a 20-year-old community. Lots are generous at 0.4 to 0.6 acre, with most homes featuring dine-in kitchens, open floor plans, spa-like owner's suites, and screened rear lanais or pools. Most original homes are 3 to 5 bedrooms in the 3,200 to 4,200-square-foot range. The community is quiet, low-traffic, and family-oriented.

Market Commentary
What the market is doing
Median sale sits around $1M–$1.2M for homes in current condition. Entry-level homes without significant updates trade $850K–$1M; recently renovated homes push to $1.3M–$1.4M. The limiting factor is size — Arlington Bay is only 93 homes, so inventory is always thin. Price-per-square-foot ranges from $300 for older, unupdated homes to $400+ for recent renovations.
