How safe is Glendale AZ?

It is not the worst area of town, but it certainly is not the best. If you want to walk your dog, do it early in the evening, not at night. You have a very high chance of having a car stolen or broken into. Possibly your home. Make sure to take the proper precautions, lock door, alarms, etc.

Maryvale Hospital is at 51st and Camelback and shootings happen there. You are close to Maryvale, which has a reputation for being a bad area. I agree with one of the answerers above, north of Thunderbird is a much better area of the city to live.

FYI- Jordin Sparks did not live in that area of Glendale. She lives over by Arrowhead Mall which is an upper class area (homes $350,000 and up). Nowhere near 75th and Camelback, much farther north.

It's not the best part of Glendale, but your not going to get shot just walking down the street. Some people just see a few more minorites then what they are use to, and automatically roll up the windows and lock the doors. I prefer anything north of Thunderbird Rd.

ive lived here all my life you dont walk down the street and get shot thats in bad areas man people always talk about city life phoenix glendale surprise are all areas of quality stay out of say south phoenix youll be fine this is an awesome state

hi, it is safe. Afterall , Jordin Sparks lives(or once lived) there. And her dad was a professional foortball player. Just that means her family has a lot of money, and if you have a lot of $$$ why would you live in the city. Glendale it just your average suberb. Be street smart just like eveywhere else you go and you will be perfectly safe....its not like your moving to "the hood" or the south side of chicago

Sorry to say this is a bad area. My mom lives in this area and there are a lot of shootings and drub busts and not to mention a lot of drop houses. On July 6 my moms house was searched by the swat team cuz of a car that was left outside her house. Someone had stolen that car.And not to mention you hear a lot of cops sirens at night and helicopters.

LOL...

Glendale is a safe place to live, but it's still near Phoenix. Anything can happen. Just say away from El Mirage!

Lots of property crime. I hope you have a garage for your car, there is a lot of car theft and vandalism in Glendale.

What about 59th and olive near the community college??

Crime happens everywhere but it isn't so abundant in that area.
