Glendale is a neighborhood in the west-central portion of the New York City borough of Queens.[4] It is bounded by Forest Hills to the east, Ridgewood to the west, Woodhaven to the south, and Middle Village to the north.
Glendale was built on a swampy area previously called Fresh Pond. The neighborhood was later developed into an industrial area, though it is now a more residential neighborhood. Glendale's land area is long on its east-west axis and narrow on its north-south axis. The area is surrounded mainly by cemeteries, although the neighborhood also contains several large parks, including part of Forest Park.
Glendale is located in Queens Community District 5 and its ZIP Code is 11385.[1] It is patrolled by the New York City Police Department's 104th Precinct.[5] Politically, Glendale is represented by the New York City Council's 30th District.[6]
