26 Cooper Rd

Highview Estates is a three‑story cooperative complex built in 1973 and composed of one-, two- and three-bedroom residences spread across low-rise garden-style buildings. Architectural expression is modest and functional: brick-and-masonry construction with asphalt-shingle roofs, landscaped grounds, sidewalks and exterior lighting. Units typically offer eat-in or galley kitchens, formal dining or dining nooks, open living areas, ceiling fans, chandeliers in some homes, multiple closet configurations including walk-in and his-and-hers closets, and features such as primary bedrooms on the first floor, sliding glass doors to private balconies or patios, and in-unit pantry or storage space. Building systems include central air, individual hot-water heaters and forced-air heating; there is elevator access in at least some buildings and on-site laundry facilities. Shared amenities center on family-friendly outdoor recreation — an inground pool, playground and small fenced park with benches — plus assigned parking and mailbox areas. The co-op organization covers many operating costs (taxes, water, sewer, trash, grounds and snow removal) through HOA fees; management provides 24-hour emergency response and on-site maintenance contracts. Pet ownership is permitted with restrictions and board approval is required for purchases, with an application and fee process for financing and membership review. The complex sits near Arlington’s business corridors, Vassar College and transit connections, offering walkable access to local shops, schools and regional commuter routes.
