Arrowhead Ranch, historic downtown and the Valley's sports and entertainment hub.
Glendale is the Valley's sixth largest city and home to State Farm Stadium, the Westgate Entertainment District and Desert Diamond Arena. Away from the lights, it is a city of established neighborhoods with mature trees, larger lots and a wide range of price points, from mid century homes near historic downtown to Arrowhead Ranch's lakes and golf course lots in the north (85308).
Angela has closed more than 35 homes in Glendale, with heavy activity in 85302, 85306, 85308 and 85305. Roughly half of those homes came with a private pool, which speaks to the era and lot sizes you find here. Luke Air Force Base anchors the west side of the city and drives steady demand from military families buying and selling on a schedule.
