Contemporary, ranch-style homes and historic Mediterranean estates in Greenbriar
Greenbriar’s peaceful, residential streets are lined with palm and sycamore trees. The area’s hilly topography provides views of two mountain ranges and Los Angeles, especially on the north side of the neighborhood. “A large majority of homes were built in the 1960s or newer, so some families are drawn to, by Glendale standards, new construction. There are more modern floorplans and family rooms, where some older homes don't have that,” Cragnotti says. Contemporary homes and Tudor Revivals from the 1980s range from $2.1 to $3 million. The neighborhood also offers many ranch-style homes, which often range from $1.4 to $1.8 million, although they can get up to $3.2 million when on multiacre lots.
“There are some sections where homes are older. Royal Boulevard has some beautiful homes,” Cragnotti says. The Royal Boulevard Historic District includes about 30 houses, with architectural styles from Colonial Revivals to Mediterranean estates. Two of the Mediterranean are even listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, previously the homes of champion wrestler Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Bob's Big Boy founder Bob Wian. Historic homes in Greenbriar range from $3.2 to $3.5 million.
Mediterranean mansions along Royal Boulevard contribute to Greenbriar's reputation as a neighborhood rich in architectural heritage and timeless elegance.
Modern-style homes in Greenbriar are characterized by sleek lines, minimalist aesthetics, and expansive glass windows that emphasize natural light and indoor-outdoor living.

Verdugo Park, Las Flores Motorway Trail and Nibley Park
Just east of Greenbriar, Verdugo Park covers over 40 acres of land, making it a popular recreation space. “It's very big with a lot of space for people to spread out and not feel like they’re on top of each other,” says Glendale Native Chris Cragnotti, broker/owner of G&C Properties. “One cool thing is that it has a skatepark, which is a big draw for the park.” It also offers walking paths, a ballfield and soccer fields. Many locals host outdoor parties at Verdugo Park’s many picnic areas, which come with barbecues. Las Flores Motorway Trail, on the north side of the community, offers a 4.6-mile trek through the Verdugo Mountains to reach Mount Thom, where visitors can enjoy panoramic overlooks of Los Angeles and the Santa Monica Mountains, stretching to the ocean on a clear day. Only a mile south of Greenbriar, Nibley Park has a playground, basketball courts and tennis courts.
Verdugo Park stands as a testament to Glendale's commitment to providing inclusive and engaging public spaces for all ages.
