An established neighborhood in southern Erie
Founded in 1925, Glenwood’s black and gold street signs, towering oak trees and eclectic mix of 20th-century homes reflect a sense of community nearly 100 years in the making. “If you want mature trees, landscaping and homes with character, charm and uniqueness, this is the place to be,” says Fred Amendola, a Realtor with the Fred Amendola Team at Keller Williams Realty and a lifelong resident of Erie County. The suburban community sits below lush green spaces such as Glenwood Park and J.C. Martin Golf Course, both developed by residents in the Glenwood Association. The neighborhood association remains active today, and the residential enclave is centrally located less than 2 miles south of downtown Erie.
Glendwood is a inviting and safe neighborhood.
The Glendwood neighborhood is a 12 minute drive to Lake Erie.

20th-century homes sit along tree-lined streets
Trees provide shade to Glenwood’s residential streets, although the neighborhood does not have sidewalks. Most homes were built from the 1920s through the 1950s and are set back from the street by cobblestone walkways or small staircases leading up to the front stoop. Homebuyers will find a mix of ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals sitting alongside charming Tudor-style homes with arched doorways and timber framing. “There’s some old charm in the architecture and the brick exteriors that you’re not going to find anywhere else in the city,” Amendola says. Manicured lawns average just under a quarter acre, and many properties feature spacious decks or porches with plenty of room for entertaining. Prices typically range from $215,000 for a three-bedroom ranch-style to $500,000 for a five-bedroom Tudor or Colonial Revival with up to an acre of land. The Glenwood Association must approve the addition of fences, walls or hedges, and residents are required to pay dues.
In Glendwood there is on and off street parking.
Glendwood has charming Tudor homes throughout the neighborhood.

Exotic animals, gardens and ice skating at the Erie Zoo
Glenwood Park is less than a mile north of the neighborhood and features a playground, paved walkway and several covered pavilions with picnic tables and grills. The park is also home to the Erie Zoo, which is open seasonally from March to November and houses over 400 animals from around the world. Residents can see croaking frogs, roaring lions and jumping kangaroos before walking through the zoo’s botanical gardens. Also located within the zoo is the Flo Fabrizio Ice Center, which offers drop-in hockey sessions and private skating lessons for all ages. Twice a year, the Glenwood Craft Show transforms the ice rink into a lively flea market where local vendors sell everything from handcrafted jewelry to homemade candles.
Next to Glenwood Park is the J.C. Martin Golf Course, a public 9-hole course with lush fairways backing up to the neighborhood. Just north is the Glenwood Park YMCA, where membership includes access to unlimited fitness classes, an indoor pool and free babysitting services. The neighborhood is also about 6 miles from the entrance to Presque Isle State Park, a sandy peninsula that stretches into the waters of Lake Erie and is known for its beaches, public boat launches and birdwatching.
Your family will have a fun time seeing the animals at the Erie Zoo.

Neighborhood festivities include an annual summer picnic
The Glenwood Association hosts neighborhood events throughout the year. Each July, neighbors take turns hosting a backyard get-together complete with live music, homemade food and a bounce house. A horse-drawn carriage parades through Glenwood each December, spreading holiday cheer to residents who gather to take a ride around the neighborhood and chat over warm drinks and crackling firepits.
