About Arboretum
The Arboretum neighborhood is a small enclave of homes wrapping the western and northern edges of the 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum — one of the most beautiful urban green spaces in the country. Living here means walking trails, water features, and seasonal blooms right out the front door.
Housing is largely older traditional and Tudor-style homes on well-established lots, with some lakefront and waterway-facing properties along Foster Island. The neighborhood overlaps with Washington Park and Broadmoor at its edges.
