About this place
Glendale is a suburban city of over 200,000 people in the southeastern San Fernando Valley, positioned between Burbank and Downtown Los Angeles. It is widely known for having one of the largest communities of Armenian descent in the United States, a heritage that enriches its dining scene and cultural character. The city includes the Crescenta Valley communities of La Crescenta, Montrose, and Verdugo City.
Glendale grew rapidly in the early 20th century, driven by railway expansion and aviation history — its former Grand Central Airport site is now home to major animation studios. Today, visitors find a practical base with excellent freeway and rail connections to Hollywood, Pasadena, and central Los Angeles.
