A walkable community with early 20th-century homes

Home prices range from the lower $700,000s for a small fixer-upper to nearly $2 million for larger renovated homes. Glenview’s homes are eclectic in both style and size, appealing to a range of different buyers and budgets. Craftsman homes, Tudor Revivals and California bungalows are common, with many dating back to the early 1920s. Wide sidewalks are bordered by landscaped yards that showcase leafy shrubs and blooming flowers in the summer. “People like Glenview because it has meandering, tree-lined streets and charming bungalows, and it’s very walkable,” says Realtor Jeremy Davidson of Compass Realty, a longtime Bay Area agent.
