The city of Glendale is sited East of Burbank, West of Pasadena and Eagle Rock, North of Silver Lake, Atwater and downtown Los Angeles, South of La Canada and La Crescenta. Glendale is one of LA’s most sought after adjacent suburbs and offers superior city services and schools:
- Glendale is one of the 10 safest California cities .
- Glendale’s Fire Department has a class 1 fire rating for safety – only 7 other communities in California have received this designation.
- The Glendale Unified School District offers seven elementary foreign language programs, whose goal is that all participating children will be bilingual and biliterate at the end of elementary school. The Foreign Language Academies of Glendale (FLAG) offer immersion programs in Armenian, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
Glendale is divided into nearly 40 neighborhoods, each with its own flavor.
Prices vary significantly from $450,000 for a starter home to a five-million-dollar recently sold Glendale estate . Adams Hill represents one of LA’s best buys for view homes. Adams Hill attracts an eclectic mix of homeowners. As a result, Adams Hill has long attracted artists, writers, and a variety of studio employees. The neighborhood’s charming, winding streets are lined with a delightful mix of homes from the 1920s and 1930s, along with a scattering of striking mid-century residences. This architectural variety brings distinctive character to the community. Notably, excellent examples of Tudor Revival style appear throughout the hillside, with particularly fine specimens found on Columbia Drive. Meanwhile, most homes in Adams Hill showcase the Spanish Colonial Revival style—distinguished by stucco exteriors, decorative ironwork, arched doorways, and low-pitched tile roofs. At the time, builders proudly claimed that “work throughout is of the highest quality and represents careful workmanship.”
The first Baskin-Robbins ice cream store was located at the base of Adams Hill, in Adams Square. I vaguely recall my grandmother indulging me on more than one occasion. The Adams Hill Homeowners Association has been instrumental in preserving much of the neighborhood’s history. Including the Square’s 1930’s Art Deco Building which currently houses a public library and the nearby mini-park built around the shell of a renovated 1930’s streamline modern gas station.
