Located in the northeastern corner of Bethlehem in Albany County, Glenmont, NY is a hamlet that beautifully blends small-town suburban charm with the economic vigor of nearby Albany. Bordered to the east by the Hudson River, Glenmont enjoys both natural beauty and strategic location, making it a desirable place to live and work.
Once a quiet farm town, Glenmont has evolved over the years into a thriving suburban community. Today, the hamlet features a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial developments, and light industry—particularly along Route 9W and the riverfront. From modest beginnings, Glenmont has grown into a modern suburb with deep historical roots and a vibrant community.
Glenmont's story dates back to the early 18th century, making it one of the oldest settlements in the region. The Abbey Hotel, considered the first hotel in the Town of Bethlehem, was a key landmark. Positioned strategically between Albany and Van Wie’s Point, the Abbey served as a vital rest stop for travelers moving along the Hudson River—especially those journeying by steamboat from New York City to Albany.
Just east of the hotel, a racetrack along the Hudson provided entertainment and social gathering opportunities for visitors and locals alike. In 1804, the establishment of the Albany and Bethlehem Turnpike—which extended from Kenwood southward to The Abbey—further solidified Glenmont’s importance as a travel and trade route. These historic roots still shape the identity of Glenmont today.
Glenmont’s main commercial corridor, Route 9W, continues to grow and serve the community with retail centers, restaurants, grocery stores, and essential services. This development has made Glenmont an attractive destination for families seeking the convenience of modern amenities with easy access to downtown Albany.
Despite its growth, Glenmont retains a close-knit community feel. The hamlet offers a peaceful suburban lifestyle with scenic views of the Hudson River, proximity to nature trails, and a family-friendly atmosphere that appeals to residents of all ages.
Glenmont is proudly part of the Bethlehem Central School District, one of the Capital Region’s top-rated public education systems. The hamlet is home to Glenmont Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 under the leadership of Principal Laura Heffernan. Older students attend Bethlehem Central Middle and High Schools, both located within close proximity in neighboring Delmar.
Beyond education, residents benefit from public services such as local police protection, fire and EMS response, and access to the Bethlehem Public Library system. These resources contribute to Glenmont’s high quality of life and reputation as one of the most desirable communities in the Albany metropolitan area.
