A walkable area 6 miles from downtown

It’s nice and secluded, but it’s also convenient,” says John Moor with Coldwell Banker Real Estate. “For New Glenwood Park, the primary appeal is that you have local schools so close. All three schools, from elementary through high school, are right there where students can walk to them.”

Trier Road and Vance Avenue, which form the neighborhood’s north and south sides, respectively, connect to Coliseum Boulevard, the city’s commercial corridor.
