Served by the Glendale Unified School District, an incredible food scene, and a city that continues to invest in itself.
Glendale's restaurant scene is one of the deepest in Los Angeles County, running from legendary bakeries to a deep bench of independent international restaurants. The Americana at Brand and Glendale Galleria anchor a thriving retail core, while the surrounding streets are packed with independent restaurants and cafes that rival anything on the Westside.
The Verdugo Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the north, giving many neighborhoods a sense of elevation and openness that feels rare in LA. Up in La Crescenta the terrain rises into the foothills, with hiking access nearby. La Crescenta is served by the Glendale Unified School District.
Housing in Glendale spans a wide range, from modern condos near the Galleria to hillside homes with panoramic views, classic mid-century ranches, and Spanish-style homes on residential streets. Downtown Glendale is experiencing a revitalization with new mixed-use developments, improved streetscapes, and a growing nightlife scene. The city's central location puts Burbank, Pasadena, and downtown LA all within a short drive.
All five statistics below come from one merged, deduplicated set of 434 closed sales. Exact scope of every stat: closed detached single family residence sales, City of Glendale, all Glendale zip codes, arms-length (retail) sales only, living area 50 to 9,950 sqft, close dates 2025-08-05 through 2026-07-31, pulled live from CRMLS on 2026-08-04. Condominiums, townhouses, and 2-4 unit properties are excluded by the like-kind filter. These are citywide figures spanning every Glendale sub-market, from the flats to the hillside and La Crescenta-adjacent canyon streets.
Scope for every figure above: City of Glendale, detached single family sales, 12 months to August 2026, CRMLS. Pulled 2026-08-04.
Close price range: low was 3928 La Crescenta Ave in 91020 (MLS SR25248090, closed 2026-01-20); high was 1422 Imperial Dr in 91207 (MLS 25614107, closed 2025-10-21). Median days on market is the CRMLS DaysOnMarket field; observed range 0 to 367. Price per square foot is close price divided by CRMLS LivingArea; median $807 per sqft; low was 3323 Barnes Cir (5,500 sqft); high was 268 Kenneth Rd (1,103 sqft). Small homes skew high and large homes skew low, so treat price per square foot as a range, never a single expected value.
Closings by month (same 434 records): Aug 2025: 38, Sep: 30, Oct: 36, Nov: 34, Dec: 43, Jan 2026: 18, Feb: 33, Mar: 28, Apr: 45, May: 48, Jun: 46, Jul: 35. By zip code: 91206: 102, 91208: 94, 91207: 58, 91202: 56, 91201: 50, 91205: 37, 91214: 27, 91203: 6, 91204: 3, 91020: 1.
How these numbers were produced
Sales data is drawn exclusively from live CRMLS queries run on August 4, 2026. Glendale resolves cleanly as its own CRMLS city, so Empower tiled the full city bounding box directly: 40 tiles at 0.65 mile radius over the dense southern flats, 18 tiles at 0.85 mile over the mid-density band, and 15 tiles at 1.2 mile over the northern hillside and canyon streets, 73 base tiles in all. Three tiles returned the tool's 100 candidate fetch cap and were each subdivided into four quarter-radius subtiles, 85 counted tile pulls total, every one verified under the cap. Results were merged and deduplicated by listing number. The tool enforced the window start live. Three closings recorded 2026-08-03 and 2026-08-04 fell outside the 12 month window and are excluded by the window rule, not by judgment. Scope filters on every query: detached single family residences only, arms-length sales only (zero distressed candidates appeared), living area 50 to 9,950 sqft. Days on market is the CRMLS DaysOnMarket field as reported. Residual limits: a closed sale with no coordinates in CRMLS would be invisible to radius search (no such rejections were observed), and any sale above 9,950 sqft would be excluded. One record (the 91020 low-price sale) carries a La Crescenta mailing zip despite a Glendale CRMLS city value; that is a legitimate cross-boundary mailing address, not a data error.
The 434 CRMLS listing numbers behind every statistic above, the full query log (all tiles, search centers, radii, and candidate counts), and the complete record set are preserved in Empower's internal records.
