Why Glendale can take longer than the floor plan suggests
Large parts of Glendale were built earlier than most of the West Valley, and older, long-tenure homes pack slowly:
- Tenure. Downtown and the Catlin Court area have owners measured in decades — and density follows tenure.
- Original kitchens. 1950s–60s cabinetry, hinges and shelves that aren’t square.
- Detached garages and sheds. Common in the older grid, often missed in phone quotes, and frequently the densest structure on the property.
- Real collections — china, glassware and framed photographs accumulated over decades.
Then there’s Arrowhead Ranch — larger homes from the late 1980s on, many two-storey. Different job, same city.
