Characteristics

Transportation

This part of the city is especially car friendly. The majority of properties for sale are a rather short drive from the nearest highway, such as Belt Route, and it is convenient to find a place to park. On the other hand, Glendale is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, house owners can rely on River Trail Station with access to the 704 Green Line. The neighborhood is linked by a few bus lines, and bus stops are usually very close by. The bicycle is a fairly good mode of transportation in Glendale since it is an even ride to most destinations. In contrast, traveling as a pedestrian is not very popular in Glendale, despite the fact that many common errands can be run without the need for a car.

Services

It is a rather short distance to access primary as well as high schools from most houses for sale in this neighborhood. Locals can choose between public and private elementary schools. Concerning food, it is easy to get to the nearest supermarket as a pedestrian in Glendale. Likewise, Glendale is a good place in which to eat out, and property owners can enjoy a few cafes as well.

Character

Glendale has a character that appeals to a fairly diverse group of people. Glendale is very quiet overall, as there are low levels of noise from traffic closer to Dwight D Eisenhower Highway, 2100 Freeway or the railway line. On the other hand, there are around 40 parks nearby for residents to check out, including Jordan Park and 17th South River Park, which makes them easy to reach. Finally, even though the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this area with its a few nightlife venues, it is very difficult to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very far.
