GLENDALE -- The Glendale ‘heatmap’ from Trulia.com demonstrates something I learned today: Glendale is a big, diverse city. With a population of 207,000, it is the third-largest city in LA County, trailing only Los Angeles and Long Beach. Average listing prices range from $450,000 and under in the southeast portion of the city, to $1.05 million and higher, in Northwest Glendale -- a wide range. The neighborhoods, and prices, divide along The 134: north of The 134 is the more affluent part of the city, with much higher real estate prices.

The site of L. Ron Hubbard’s first Church of Scientology, Glendale is home to the U.S. headquarters of Nestle and IHOP. It is also home to the largest Armenian population in the United States, estimated at 40% of the city’s population, or 85,000 people. It was also the boyhood home of John Wayne, and the place where he was first called ‘The Duke.’
