Glendale, Queens was given its name by a developer named George C. Schott. Glendale was originally named FRESH POND for its 2 freshwater ponds. George C. Schott was given a large amount of land as repayment for a debt. He then changed the name to Glendale after his native home in Glendale, Ohio.Glendale borders Brooklyn and Queens ? I call it the last of the Mohicans ? a small community that has that 70?s vibe where you will find a diverse and eclectic feel yet so close to Brooklyn and Manhattan.It was once a large German farming town, hence the BEST German food in NYC is found in Glendale right on Myrtle Avenue ? Zum Stammtisch. For all you foodies out there ? this is a MUST visit place, travel back in time in the old-world style d cor. I highly recommend the Goulash! Many notable people once lived and live in Glendale ? a quiet oasis with that hint of Urban Sub-Urban feel ? quiet and quaint ? Myrtle Avenue is lined with ?mom and pop? mixed use properties where you will find your local bakery Russo?s. Fish market and an old fashion butcher shop.Located so close to Brooklyn and other amazing parts of Queens you can easily stroll, bike, roll or drive. Forest Park is an amazing Greenspace for all the walking and jogging you can imagine. Pack lunch and watch the leaves sway ? release all your cares away! Looks are deceiving and we must not judge a book by its cover; this home appears smaller on the outside but once you step inside this amazing 2 family home it is quite large approximately 2400 sq feet without the basement! Built in 1920?s and standing strong. This home has detail, so much detail ? it?s like stepping into yesteryear ? Great handrail and post, amazing interior entry door ? wainscotting on the staircase leading up to an amazing 3-bedroom apartment.
