From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenmont is a hamlet located in Albany County, New York in the USA. Glenmont is in the Town of Bethlehem and can be considered a suburb of Albany, New York. It has mostly 2-story houses and above average income families. It is also the location of several new and controversial shopping centers, which include businesses such as Wal-Mart, Lowes Home Improvement Center, Applebee's, and Wendy's.
