Our top Glendale Moving Tips
No bigger than about 2 miles wide and about half a mile from top to bottom, Glendale stretches east to west from Fresh Pond Road to Woodhaven Boulevard. Cooper Avenue is to the north, and to the south it runs along Forest Park. Nearby neighborhoods include Ridgewood, Bushwick, Forest Hills, Woodhaven, and Cypress Hills.
Often described as being book-ended by cemeteries, there’s a lot of life to be living in this neighborhood. New residents may want to brush up on a few details about the area before the move, such as:
- Getting around Glendale. If you’re moving to this neighborhood and plan to be commuting quite a bit, you may need to consider your mode of transportation. The closest MTA subway lines are the M and L trains, which are technically in nearby Ridgewood. So, if you live closer to that neighborhood, this may be a good option for you. There are many buses in the area that’ll get you where you want to go. Specifically, the QM24, QM34, and QM25 express buses will get you to Manhattan’s Midtown in about an hour. The good news is that by bus or by subway a one-way ride is only $2.75. If you don’t live close to public transportation or the offerings don’t meet your needs for getting around, you may want to consider whether having your own vehicle may be worth it.
- Cost of housing. One of the most attractive parts of moving to Glendale is the affordable housing. Much of the homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s without much recent development other than renovating existing homes. Residents will tell you that you can get a home with a yard and parking without spending a pretty penny compared to the surrounding neighborhoods. Though a $1M price tag isn’t unheard of for a renovated home, finding a single-family home among the tree lined streets can be yours for around $750K on average. If you’re not sold on purchasing a house just yet or prefer a shorter term housing agreement, you can be among the 55% of Queens residents who rent their homes. A one-bedroom apartment in Glendale averages about $1,600 a month, which is really a find in NYC. Interested in renting a house? It’ll run you about $2,536 a month, which is still markedly lower than an apartment in many parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn. What’s more, no matter whether you rent or buy, you’re likely to get more space for your money.
- Seeing and doing in Glendale. There’s plenty of family-friendly fun to explore in this neighborhood. One wide-open space is 500+ acre Forest Park on the south side. There, you’ll find recreating opportunities for all within its playgrounds, skate park, dog park, tennis courts, walking trails, and even an 18-hole golf course. After sweating it out the park, you can do a little retail therapy, see a movie, and even go ice skating in the winter at The Shops at Atlas Park on Cooper Avenue. With all this hub-bub, you and your fam will likely have worked up an appetite. And the good news is that you won’t go hungry finding good eats in the neighborhood. For a festive Alpine evening, you can check out the German Beer Hall Zum Stammtisch. Or, maybe you’re all clamoring for something classic. That means a stop to the 1950’s-esque Glendale Diner on Myrtle Avenue for some grub may be on order. And though some may see it as a big morbid, we’d be remiss to not mention that one of the draws to Glendale are the local cemeteries, such as a visit to Machpelah Cemetery, the final resting place of Harry Houdini.
