Glendale Old Brick House
Located on the Western edge of Phoenix, and just 20 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Glendale is Arizona’s fourth largest city and packed with a range of attractions and activities to suit all tastes. Glendale offers travelers a wide variety of amenities including the famous Historic Downtown shopping district, legendary special events and festivals, museums and cultural attractions, and a growing number of professional sports facilities.

Revving engines, cracking bats and crunching tackles, Glendale is a sports lover’s paradise. Home to the 2008 Super Bowl and two first class sporting arenas, the West Valley is fast becoming the nation's newest sports mecca with a lineup of professional football, hockey, lacrosse, baseball and auto racing.

Historic Downtown Glendale, named by “USA Today” and “Sunset Magazine” as one of the country's “Ten Best Places For Antique Shopping” offers visitors a range of antique stores as well as imports, jewelry, art, crafts, collectables, and bath and body accessories. The area is divided into two neighborhoods: Historic Catlin Court with its white picket fences and mature shade trees, is home to an array of bungalows-turned-specialty shops; and, Old Towne, with its brick-trimmed sidewalks and glowing gaslights, is home to some of the nation’s best antique stores.

Conveniently located off the Loop 101, minutes from Scottsdale's luxury resorts, Glendale eloquently blends the culture and heritage of the Old West with modern comforts and amenities. It's one of Arizona’s fast-growing cities, and yet it remains most famous for its well-preserved charm.
