WeatherHow much crime?What are the neighborhoods like?What are the people like?
The weather in Glendale is hot during most of the year. At times in winter season you can expect warm temperatures of 75 degrees. Luckily we do not experience hurricanes, and unfortunately no snow. Heavy rain and Santa Ana winds are expected. The coldest average temperature in Glendale is 52 degrees. The highest average temperature is 110 degrees.Glendale is ranked as one of the safest cities in California. The only crimes that have occurred that I have heard of are burglaries.The northern part of Glendale is beautiful. There are very nice homes and condos with many shopping centers and restaurants near by. The southern part of Glendale has more lower income families as well as some theft.I would have to say their are good and bad people in this town in regards to character. I've come across many nice people but many have been quite materialistic and stuck up. Some are quite rude and disrespectful.
Downtown AreaRestaurantsSchoolsSingle life
The downtown shopping areas are beautiful. Americana was built a few years ago and has some of the most top rated shopping stores and restaurants. There is a beautiful fountain as well as seating areas. You will not leave disappointed when shopping in Glendale.Some of the best restaurants in Glendale are Carousel Restaurant, Raffi's Place, BJ's, Skaf's Lebanese Cuisine, Octopus Sushi.Most of the public schools in Glendale are average quality. The teachers are great and always make sure to keep students safe and focused on education.Yes there are plenty opportunities for singles in Glendale. There are many young single adults. Many people meet at hookah bars as well as the Glendale galleria.
Noisetown comparison vs.Best hospitalGeneral comments
There are many nearby highways near some apartment complexes. However the noise is quite minimal in comparison to other cities.Glendale has a few large surrounding cities. I would have to say it is the safest but has more traffic compared to the other cities. The population in Glendale has increased through out the years and has caused quite a lot of traffic in the city. Some of the other cities are not as overly populated.The two best hospitals in Glendale are Glendale Adventist and Glendale Memorial hospital.Glendale feels Urban and everything is walking distance. It has a great community feel as though everyone knows each other. It is quite safe compared to other cities and I like that I don't feel unsafe when going out for a walk.
