Leave it to Glendale
“We call Glendale the ‘Leave It to Beaver’ neighborhood,” says John Anastasio, President of the Glendale Civic Association and 17-year resident of this Ewing Township, New Jersey, community. “It’s a beautiful little place where the neighbors all see each other and interact with each other, the kids all play on the streets and people walk their dogs.” The mostly residential neighborhood is defined by established Cape Cod and Dutch Colonial Revival homes set relatively close together on shady, landscaped lots, giving it a close-knit feel. Some shops and restaurants can be found in the community, but the greater Ewing Township has even more to offer.
Cape Cods, Dutch Colonial Revivals and more historic homes
Tree-lined streets shade pedestrians as they walk through the neighborhood’s many sidewalks. Glendale’s streets form into a semi-grid are filled with ranch-style homes, split levels and two-story houses which take inspiration from Cape Cod and Dutch Colonial Revival homes. These historic homes were built between the 1920s and ‘50s, usually have two to four bedrooms and span between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. Prices range from $250,000 to $400,000, depending on the home’s updates. South of Parkway Avenue, duplexes and cubic Four Squares reign supreme. Many of these homes are valued between $200,000 and $250,000.

NJ Transit has some bus routes in the Glendale neighborhood like this one on Parkway Ave.
“Well-served” by New Jersey Transit
New Jersey Transit bus routes 607 and 624 cut through and alongside Glendale, connecting the neighborhood to downtown Trenton and other communities. “Because Glendale is a relatively small community, it is well served by New Jersey Transit,” Anastasio says. “There are buses that go out to the college area and buses that go out near the airport to the shopping areas.” US Route 1 is two miles away, and Interstate is 295 is about three miles away. Residents need only drive ten minutes, or about three miles, to reach the Trenton-Mercer Airport.
Events that bring Glendale neighbors together
The Glendale Civic Association organizes many community-wide events. “One month we’ll have a backyard movie night. Another month, we might go to Asbury Park and play the pinball machines,” Anastasio says, referring to Asbury Park’s Silverball Retro Arcade. “There’s always something that involves getting the neighbors together to meet each other.”
