Glendale Community Profile

Glendale is tightly woven into the fabric of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, bordered by Milwaukee and several other suburban communities. Still, it has retained its own distinctive character and independence.

Glendale boasts a rich array of affordable homes in quiet and appealing neighborhoods. Wide boulevards, large residential lots, and four county parks give the community a spaciousness not found in cities that rub shoulders with bigger communities. The parks add to the many recreational opportunities enjoyed by residents.

The schools of Glendale are excellent in every way. Three award-winning school districts serve the community, as do several high quality parochial systems. The Nicolet High School Band, Orchestra and Chorus have been invited to participate in the Victory Day Celebrations in Moscow, Russia on May 9, 2004. This will be their third trip to Moscow.

Business is attracted to Glendale's redeveloped business and commercial areas by a variety of economic incentives. New office buildings and corporate facilities are joining the famous business names already in Glendale, such as Manpower International, Forrer Business Interiors, Weyco Group, Johnson Controls, Strattec, Heart Hospital of Milwaukee and Wheaton Franciscan Services (Covenant Healthcare).

Excellent schools, diverse shopping, charming residential areas, competent health care and a location within Milwaukee County, makes Glendale a great place to live, work and raise a family.
