Glendale is featured in today's NYTimes real estate section--see Tucked Away and Neatly Tricked Out by Joseph Plambeck. As with anything in the Times you gotta ask, "Did they get it right this time?"--you be the judge on that .
It's been a while since the Times covered this terrain--last time being October 2001 with a nice piece, same real estate section, called Glendale, Queens; A Neighborhood of 'People Playing Nice' That one had more history to it, and fascinating stuff it was; today's piece strives to get across that while there have been some changes since 2001, Glendale remains an attractive enclave and a desirable place to live for many reasons. Plambeck cites residents who moved in from neighborhoods such as Bushwick and Williamsburg. (One assumes people are still playing nice.) Since it is real estate, the piece is directed at prospective home buyers as well as prospective businesses, and the delicate balance of the two is the challenge for Glendale's future.
One thing that is new and which might have been included is the Glendale CSA. Perhaps we can send a letter to Macaluso, Crifasi and other real estate companies informing them that having a CSA in a neighborhood adds to property values--and maybe they could consider mentioning it when showing off a house. Agent: "And do you know that there is a Community Supported Agriculture group here in Glendale?" Buyer: "O really? Where do I sign?" SOLD!
