    Living in location

    Glendale is a small city located nine miles southwest of Arizona's capital, Phoenix. Surrounded by South Mountain Park and Preserve and the Sonoran Preserve, Glendale is popular for its sports and entertainment scene; rich cultural heritage; community events; and quality educational facilities. Additionally, its proximity to Phoenix means renters are close to an extensive employment market and big-city amenities. Meanwhile, renters moving from colder areas will appreciate the desert climate with mild winters and hot summers, although summer temperatures can exceed 110°F and activate heat warnings. That said, the summer monsoon season brings relief from the heat, although renters should be wary of thunderstorms; heavy rainfall; strong winds; and dust storms, known as haboobs. The summer weather also allows renters to explore local parks, like Sahuaro Ranch Park, Glendale Heroes Regional Park, Thunderbird Paseo Park and Lake Pleasant Regional Park.
