Living In Glendale, AZ

Given Arizona's expansive and at times desolate landscape, finding a comfortable and welcoming place is like discovering a hidden treasure. The city of Glendale is one of those types of places. Even though it's a suburb of Phoenix, the city offers a quiet, down-home charm that is as inviting as it is genuine. The people here are always friendly, and their laid-back demeanor seems to lend itself to the city's overall personality.

The Catlin Court Walking Tour in Glendale covers an area of historic buildings and is located between Gardenia Avenue and Palmaire Avenue. Primarily, most of these 82 buildings are built in the bungalow style of the early 1920s. Otto R. Hansen, a capitalist from Wisconsin, subdivided these 80 acres into lots and named the area “Catlin” after his wife's maiden name. These historic homes offer a dramatic look at what life was like in Glendale at the beginning of the 1900s. The tour spotlights 24 of the Catlin's historic homes, some of which have been converted into stores, specialty shops and restaurants. This area is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
