Downtown Glendale Arizona Attractions
Take a trip to historic downtown Glendale and
youll feel like youve stepped back in time to
an old fashioned, small town. The downtown
Glendale area has over 20 antique shops plus many
restaurants and specialty shops in a 10-square
block area. Downtown Glendale has two main
historic districts Old Towne and Caitlin
Court. Old Towne is a collection of old brick
buildings filled with shops and restaurants and
sidewalks lined with brick and gaslight lamps and
its central to all Glendale real estate. For one
of the tastiest Glendale Arizona attractions,
head over to the popular Cerreta Candy Company at
the east end of Old Towne. You can sample their
diverse selection of chocolates and candies or
take a tour of the factory. A good starting point
for exploring downtown Glendale is Murphy Park.
Located in the centre of downtown Glendale, the
park is named after the citys founder W.J.
Murphy and its formal grass lawns are home to
many city events.
2
North of Murphy Park is a residential
neighbourhood known as the Caitlin Court Historic
District. This area features the Glendale real
estate early 1900s bungalows that are listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. Wide
streets, large trees and low white picket fences
give Caitlin Court a small Midwestern town feel.
Many of the houses have been converted into
boutiques that sell antiques, jewellery, teddy
bears, Christmas decorations and art glass.  The
Historic Downtown Glendale Districts extend (west
to east) from 53rd Avenue to 59th Avenue and
(north to south) from Lamar Road to Myrtle Avenue.
