Glendale New York Real Estate

One of the more unique communities in Queens, Glendale was named after a town in Ohio in 1863 and claims more cemetery headstones than living residents. This neighborhood of single-family and two-family homes is bisected by the Long Island Rail Road and surrounded by cemeteries. The German roots of the community can still be found, although the cultural mix has greatly expanded over the passing decades. Glendale is situated in the heart of Queens but is less densely developed than the neighborhoods around it. The border of lush parks and picturesque cemeteries and the relative isolation form the New York City Subway have no doubt contributed to lower-scale development.
