Buckingham is a close-in Arlington neighborhood with a mix of garden apartments, historic buildings, and tree-lined residential streets. Its planned garden-apartment development, begun in the 1930s, gives parts of the area a distinctive historic character, while central Arlington’s shops and services are nearby. The Four Mile Run trail and parks in and around the neighborhood offer outdoor routes and green space; playgrounds and public library services add everyday amenities. Dining and coffee options include neighborhood restaurants and cafés, with broader shopping and nightlife available along nearby Wilson Boulevard and in Ballston. Mild winters and warm, humid summers shape year-round outdoor routines. Residents can get around on foot, by bike, or by bus, and the Ballston-MU Metro station provides rail connections.
