Glenolden has some beautiful community events that we contribute to. People maintain their homes. This community shuts down by 8pm. The police will stop and ticket children in violation of curfew which keeps the nonsense down. I haven't seen any kids out late in the last ten years. People here work and have pride. I would not say it's the friendliest place for minorities but I purchased here for the quietness. I will say the surrounding areas are not as nice.

I enjoy how Glenolden is very peaceful. The area is very clean as well. Walking through the neighborhood there is rarely any trash visible. One thing I would like to see change is, we should start to do more things together as a community.

I really like the Glenolden library and the monument Park. There are so many events held there each year and it is really beautiful especially with all the trees.
