Leave it to Glendale

“We call Glendale the ‘Leave It to Beaver’ neighborhood,” says John Anastasio, President of the Glendale Civic Association and 17-year resident of this Ewing Township, New Jersey, community. “It’s a beautiful little place where the neighbors all see each other and interact with each other, the kids all play on the streets and people walk their dogs.” The mostly residential neighborhood is defined by established Cape Cod and Dutch Colonial Revival homes set relatively close together on shady, landscaped lots, giving it a close-knit feel. Some shops and restaurants can be found in the community, but the greater Ewing Township has even more to offer.

Education and athletics in the Ewing School District

Students can participate in 15 different sports, and Ewing High’s teams routinely win division championships, such as when the football team took home the gold in 2022.

Dining in Glendale and Ewing Township

On North Olden Avenue, which rolls across the northern edge of the neighborhood, there’s a ShopRite for groceries and various fast-food joints and restaurants including Crab Du Jour, a casual spot with karaoke and a live DJ on Friday evenings. More dining options can be found nearby: “A lot of the restaurants that used to be in downtown Trenton are now in Ewing Township,” Anastasio says. “There’s a whole bunch up by the College of New Jersey.”

“Well-served” by New Jersey Transit

New Jersey Transit bus routes 607 and 624 cut through and alongside Glendale, connecting the neighborhood to downtown Trenton and other communities. “Because Glendale is a relatively small community, it is well served by New Jersey Transit,” Anastasio says. “There are buses that go out to the college area and buses that go out near the airport to the shopping areas.” US Route 1 is two miles away, and Interstate is 295 is about three miles away. Residents need only drive ten minutes, or about three miles, to reach the Trenton-Mercer Airport.

Events that bring Glendale neighbors together

The Glendale Civic Association organizes many community-wide events. “One month we’ll have a backyard movie night. Another month, we might go to Asbury Park and play the pinball machines,” Anastasio says, referring to Asbury Park’s Silverball Retro Arcade. “There’s always something that involves getting the neighbors together to meet each other.”
