Glendale, Residential neighborhood in Queens, United States
Located in western Queens, Glendale features residential streets with single-family homes, townhouses, and tree-lined avenues between Forest Hills and Ridgewood.
The area transformed from Fresh Ponds swampland into a residential district following the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847, which established multiple cemeteries in the region.
German and Italian heritage remains evident throughout Glendale, with Eastern European and Hispanic communities adding to the neighborhood's demographics in recent years.
The M train at Fresh Pond Road station and multiple bus routes connect residents to Manhattan within 32 minutes, while local shops line the main commercial areas.
The neighborhood sits within the Cemetery Belt of Queens, with Cypress Hills Cemetery containing the graves of Jackie Robinson and Harry Houdini.
