While home buyers are busy angling for the right purchase in the dynamic Valley real estate market, another trend is focused on the West Valley — buying second homes here.
Hippo, an insurance company based in Palo Alto, California, issued an industry report on the top U.S. cities for a second home. The metrics (“low median housing prices, relatively low property crime rates and high walkability scores and comfort indexes”) point to Glendale as the No. 4-ranked U.S. city overall, and first in Arizona.
In the “best Western cities to buy a second home” category, Glendale came it at No. 1, edging out destinations including Riverside, California; Bakersfield, California; North Las Vegas, Nevada; and Boise, Idaho.
