Glendale WI Houses for Sale

Welcome to Glendale

Welcome to Glendale, one of Wisconsin's premier communities. Glendale has experienced exceptional growth and development since its official incorporation as a city in 1950. Today, it is recognized as one of the most progressive of the northeast Milwaukee suburbs. Located on a narrow corridor of 5.7 square miles to the west of Fox Point, Whitefish Bay and Shorewood, Glendale has grown steadily since its separation from the old Town of Milwaukee. Local leaders have encouraged controlled industrial expansion and commercial development along with high quality residential development. Although Glendale's population is modest in size at approximately 13,000, it is a dynamic and vibrant community consisting of a diversity of people and a balanced mix of residential, commercial, industrial and recreational opportunities. Its resulting broad tax base is the envy of southeastern Wisconsin. Glendale is one of 35 suburban communities that surround the City of Milwaukee and is less than 10 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, connected via Interstate I-43. Its proximity to many Milwaukee County facilities and its separated suburban location give Glendale a distinct advantage in the metropolitan area. Two beautiful, large and well-maintained Milwaukee County Parks within the City limits, as well as the meandering Milwaukee River, give Glendale a natural landscape that is a treat to its citizens and visitors, old and young alike. The Milwaukee River has an exciting waterfall in Glendale that attracts many fishermen, from all over the Midwest, to try to catch spawning salmon and other migrating fish. Glendale boasts one of the finest school systems in the nation, led by highly rated Nicolet High School, which serves three other North Shore communities as well. In combination with its fine Glendale-River Hills K-4 through 8th grade school system, and Cardinal Stritch University, Glendale arguably leads the North Shore in quality educational opportunities. Together with outstanding sports and recreational facilities for the children, Glendale enhances the life for all who reside here.
