Suburban feel and a hip neighbor in the Queens
Sandwiched between cemeteries, the neighborhood of Glendale is home to more gravestones than residents. A Queens enclave known for the significant amount of land dedicated to cemeteries, Glendale is equally a tight-knit community of suburban-like streetscapes and local businesses. This quiet residential neighborhood attracts buyers with its slower-paced lifestyle and, compared to surrounding areas, competitively priced homes. Crifasi Real Estate agent Andrew LaSala, who has worked in Glendale and the surrounding area for over a decade, cites the neighboring red-hot Ridgewood as another draw to the western Queens community. “You get proximity to Ridgewood and all that’s happening there without paying Ridgewood prices,” he says.
Glendale offers small and major chain shopping.
