1517 E Garfield Ave

A mid-1970s low-rise condominium complex in Glendale, this single-story development contains garden-style buildings arranged around landscaped courtyards and resort-like common spaces. Units are predominantly one-bedroom floor plans (with occasional studios and two-bedroom layouts reported in the same project) offering 600–750 square feet typical of the market. Architecture and finishes reflect period construction with later tenant-driven upgrades: stucco exteriors, red tile accents in some units, covered carports or assigned covered parking, and exterior corridors with gated, controlled access. Interiors feature open living/dining arrangements with balconies that capture city, mountain, or pool views; many homes include laminate or hardwood-style flooring, mirrored closet doors, ceiling fans, crown molding, and built-in storage. Kitchens are compact galley or breakfast-bar plans equipped with laminate or granite/quartz counters and stainless appliances in updated units. Community amenities emphasize recreation and convenience: a large pool and spa, fitness room, recreation/clubhouse spaces, laundry facilities, visitor parking and gated entry. Elevators are present where buildings have multiple levels within the project, and property management/HOA maintenance covers utilities like water and trash in certain units. The complex sits near major retail (Americana at Brand, Glendale Galleria), groceries, dining, and freeway access, offering a suburban-urban balance for commuters and those seeking amenity-rich, low-maintenance ownership in Glendale.
