I have lived here for about 36 years and I love it. Glenolden offers a small town feel with an urban setting. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. I found it a great place to raise a family. I raised 2 sons here. I love the beautiful parks and shopping centers. Homes are mostly twins and singles. Check it out.

I really like the Glenolden library and the monument Park. There are so many events held there each year and it is really beautiful especially with all the trees.

Very quite neighborhood. Also very clean. Convenient for shopping, especially grocery shopping. Sometimes traffic can be heavy on main streets, depending on the time of day.
