The Glendale neighborhood is a cultural crossroads in Salt Lake City. The ethnically diverse neighborhood was originally developed as the Glendale Gardens housing project, built to accommodate a large influx of families moving to Utah for the World War II effort.

Residents of Glendale enjoy the community’s diversity, friendliness, pride in community, and genuineness of fellow residents. Those who live in Glendale cite it as affordable and conveniently close to downtown, and outdoor recreation including the 9 Line Trail which connects the Westside to the rest of the city.
