Glendale is a fairly small community, located about eight miles north of Philadelphia. The centrally-located SEPTA station will get you to Center City in about thirty minutes and the drive is typically about the same, making it a highly convenient place for commuters to call home. Apartments in Glenside are an excellent choice for families as well, with a low crime rate and terrific schools.
Keswick Village serves as the main entertainment district of Glenside, with the historic Keswick Theatre hosting national touring musicians on a regular basis and numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance. Arcadia University contributes significant intellectual capital to the community with its libraries, arts venues, and academic population.
