As a top Glendale real estate agent, I keep close tabs on the market. In November 2024, 1771 Hillcrest Ave was the most expensive home sold in Glendale. It was listed for $4,000,000 and sold in just five days for the $4,000,000 asking price.

I live on Hillcrest across the street from 1771. I’ve watched dump trucks leave for over a week now so 😭 m sure the charm has been relegated to the city dump
I certainly hope not, these character homes in Glendale are a treasure.
