Commercial space in Glendale
Glendale sits between Ridgewood and Forest Hills in central Queens, with warehouses and factory buildings on the blocks around Cooper Avenue and Otto Road. The Shops at Atlas Park, an outdoor mall on Cooper Avenue, and the big stores on Woodhaven Boulevard draw shoppers from across the borough. The nearest subway is the M at Middle Village, so most tenants rely on buses and on Woodhaven Boulevard, which runs north to the Long Island Expressway.
