Glendale, AZ — Homes, Neighborhoods & Market Guide

Glendale is an established West Valley city about nine miles northwest of downtown Phoenix — one of metro Phoenix’s more affordable places to buy, and the Valley’s sports-and-entertainment hub. Homes recently sold at a median in the high $300,000s to mid $400,000s, well below Phoenix and Scottsdale, with most of the housing stock being established neighborhoods rather than new construction. It’s home to State Farm Stadium and the Westgate Entertainment District, a historic downtown known as Arizona’s antiques capital, and the lake-dotted, higher-priced Arrowhead area on its north side. Glendale is served by several school districts depending on where in the city you are.
