It’s not a big neighborhood; it’s a little more private back there.” Glenrock is bordered by sound barriers and lined with trees to block noise from the nearby interstates. Streets are gridded and have no sidewalks. Homes are in the New Traditional, minimal traditional, Cape Cod and ranch-styles and range from $255,000 to $440,000, with over half of residents renting.
