The neighbourhoods

Where Glendale actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Rossmoyne

Established in the 1920s, this hillside historic district around Nibley Park is known for Spanish Revival, Colonial, and Tudor homes on curving streets with Verdugo Mountain views.

Chevy Chase Canyon

Once a private game preserve for the Doheny family, the canyon was subdivided as Chevy Chase Estates starting in 1926 and is home to the oldest continuously active homeowners association in California, incorporated in 1948.

Verdugo Woodlands

A foothill neighborhood of tree-lined streets leading to Verdugo Park, home to the historic Catalina Verdugo Adobe and within reach of Montrose's dining district.

Adams Hill

A hillside neighborhood of Craftsman and Mediterranean homes built mostly from 1915 to 1960, once part of the independent city of Tropico before its 1918 annexation by Glendale.

Montecito Park

Built home by home through the 1920s and 1930s on winding streets in north Glendale, with the earliest houses dating to 1923.

Riverside Rancho

An urban neighborhood of mostly 1940s-1960s residences with one of the highest concentrations of Armenian and Russian ancestry of any neighborhood in the country.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Glendale, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at President's Garden, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

An hour at Eagle Rock Hillside Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Glendale Phở Co., then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
