About Student Housing in Glendale
Glendale, Arizona is a Phoenix suburb northwest of the city, home to Midwestern University and a West campus for several institutions. Its student housing market is moderate-sized and influenced by the local campuses as well as students who work in the stadium and entertainment corridor. Rents are affordable relative to Tempe and central Phoenix. The Valley Metro bus network connects Glendale to Phoenix but light rail does not reach Glendale, making a car more important here than in the transit-connected east Valley.
