According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 239,435.[1] It is a major suburb of Phoenix. The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and NLL's Arizona Sting began playing here when Jobing.com Arena (formerly the Glendale Arena) opened in December 2003. Also in Glendale is the new University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals and the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which opened in August 2006. In 2008, Super Bowl XLII is scheduled to be played there. Both venues are part of the Westgate City Center development plan, meant to spur growth in the sparsely inhabitant Yucca district. It is also home of the family of American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks.

When Kelly Liebermann bought a townhouse at the Quarter in the Westgate City Center, he was able to view his new neighborhood only through online virtual tours and colorful renderings.

With today's debut of Westgate's first half-million square feet, Liebermann and other future residents can get an idea of the urban village they'll call home.

The Quarter, a 171-unit luxury town home community built by Trammel Crow Residential, is under construction east of Jobing.com Arena.

Prices for the loft-style residences range from $329,900 to $534,900, and buyers have snatched up 157 units.

By the time Liebermann moves in early next summer, several more restaurants and stores will be open at Westgate, such as Yard House, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Guess and McFarlane Toys.

Liebermann, an Arizona Cardinals season ticket holder, has watched Westgate come to life while attending football games.

"It's really exciting to see things come together, it's alive and real," said Liebermann, a Phoenix firefighter. "There will be so many things to do between the restaurants, shops and games."

Also under construction in Westgate's high-tech hub is Trammel Crow Residential second project, Alexan Westgate. Scheduled to open early next year, Alexan will include 251 apartment units.

Across Glendale Avenue at the 151-acre Zanjero project, residents will move in next month at Courtney Vista Apartments, which offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

The 308-unit upscale complex features five floor plans that range from 858 to 1,303 square feet.

Amenities include indoor racquetball and basketball courts, a cybercafe, a movie theater with a 120-inch screen and dry cleaning service.

Work also is under way on Archstone Zanjero Apartments, a 253-unit community along Zanjero Boulevard being built by Colorado-based Archstone-Smith. Residents are expected to move in in mid-2007.

"We have plenty of single-family homes in Glendale, so for people who want to try something different, the option will be available for an urban-style living environment," Glendale planning director Jon froke said.

Next year, construction will begin at the Districts at Zanjero, a 51-acre mixed-used project next to Cabela's that will be built by Nevada-based Marathon Commercial Development.

It will include 500,000 square feet of retail, 200,000 square feet of office space, a 20-story boutique hotel, three mid-rise residential towers and loft condominiums above the retail space.

The project's grand opening will coincide with Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium.

"The folks that live here

Glendale bills itself as “Arizona’s Antique Capital,” with support for its claim from both Sunset Magazine (2004) and a 1998 article in USA Today. Glendale is home to the popular Arrowhead Towne Center mall in the northwest part of the city. Glendale also is home to the metro Phoenix area's first medical school, Midwestern, as well as a major post-graduate business school, Thunderbird (AGSIM).

The city will host an extension of the Valley Metro light rail transit line by perhaps 2011.

With the addition of the stadiums and Westgate development, as well as the Cibola Vista resort and other upscale developments, Glendale and Peoria are fast gaining a reputation as representing the future of the Phoenix area.

Glendale, AZ Climate

From the desert floor to the highest mountain peak, Arizona's renowned sunshine ensures that nearly every day is a perfect one for sightseeing, playing golf, skiing a slope, or simply relaxing by a sparkling swimming pool. Generally, peak season in the desert lasts from January through March, shoulder season is from April to May and September through December, and value season is June through August.

What to Wear

Depending on the time of year and where one plans to travel in Glendale Arizona, anything from a swimsuit to a winter jacket may be appropriate. Overall, dress is casual with an emphasis on comfort. Few restaurants require jackets and ties for dining. Jeans and Western wear are always in style. If attending a cultural event or dining at one of our finer restaurants, bring along a more formal outfit. During summer, shorts and sandals are appropriate during the day and a sweater or light jacket is perfect for the evenings. In the cooler months, a sweater or light jacket is perfect in the desert for evenings and a winter jacket is recommended in the mountains. Also, wide-brim hats, sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended year-round.
