Glendale has an elementary school within walking distance and easy access to Missouri Route 291
Just 3 miles from Downtown Independence, Glendale offers a suburban setting tucked between everyday essentials. “When you drive around here, there are almost always kids playing outside or walking to Glendale Elementary because it’s right in the neighborhood,” says Ryan Gritters, a Realtor with Keller Williams Platinum Partners, who has sold several homes in the area. Residents can easily make their tee time at the Drumm Farm Golf Club or head to a youth soccer game at Van Hook Park. Fast food drive-throughs line Missouri Route 291, which also leads to the Independence Center, a shopping mall with over 100 storefronts. And thanks to nearby Interstate 70, the rest of the Kansas City metropolitan area is within arm’s reach.

Kids shoot hoops at Glendale Elementary, and golfers tee off at Drumm Farm
Kids can still play hopscotch or shoot hoops on the asphalt basketball courts outside Glendale Elementary when school isn't in session, as the playground area is open year-round. Glendale Park off 32nd Street has two playgrounds. One includes a swing set and a plastic rock wall atop wood chips, and the more modern option features blue, green and yellow climbing structures and a tall twisty slide. From here, locals can walk to Drumm Farm Golf Club, offering an 18-hole course and a 9-hole executive layout, both weaving through wetland terrain on 280 acres of a former pastoral estate. On Saturday mornings, residents may hear a referee's whistle or the whoosh of a ball hitting the net during youth soccer games at Van Hook Park, named after the founder of the Independence Parks Department. Summertime fun abounds at nearby Adventure Oasis Water Park, where swimmers can float around the lazy river, glide down winding tube slides or relax under the striped blue and white umbrellas shading lounge chairs.
