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's Evergreens Cemetery is one of the oldest in NYC, dating back to 1849.

Closely-set multifamily homes

Single-family homes make up an overwhelming majority of the housing stock here. Options include brick rowhouses, colonials, Tudor-style townhouses and detached homes. Most homes date to the early 20th century; some have been renovated to reflect modern living and taste. Asking prices for homes range from about $650,000 to $1.2 million. Forest View Crescent, a 20-story cooperative building, is the neighborhood's only high rise and offers one- to three-bedroom units. Two-bedroom units often sell for around $450,000. The Cooper Rapid Rehousing Center, a 200-bed single men homeless shelter, opened in Glendale in 2020.

Neighborhood mainstays and a mall with a movie theater

The neighborhood's main commercial drag is Myrtle Avenue, where businesses include Russo Bakery - which has been selling classic Italian pastries since 1979 - nail salons, dry cleaners, a pharmacy and a fish market. The beloved local staple Zum Stammtisch serves broiled pork chops and goulash soup and is a reminder of the area’s German immigrant farming. The Glendale Diner is a celebrated spot where all the booths are outfitted with individual jukeboxes. The Shops at Atlas Park provide a mall-like experience with retailers such as Ulta Beauty and HomeGoods and a Regal multiplex. Grocery shopping options include Stop & Shop, Key Food, Trader Joe’s and gourmet shop Made In Eatalia Salumeria.

Buses and easy highway access for commuters

A big commuter neighborhood, Glendale offers access to transportation. Many residents drive into Manhattan for the work day, a trip of about 45 minutes. Homes with driveways and the availability of street parking ease the burden of car ownership in the city. Residents without a vehicle rely heavily on city buses, including the Q55, as no train station is within neighborhood limits.

The Q55 Bus is the main public transportation line in Glendale.
