What Makes GlenLakes Stand Out?
GlenLakes is best known for its championship golf course, manicured lakeside views, and proximity to the white-sand beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The neighborhood is minutes from OWA, the Tanger Outlets, and Downtown Foley, yet far enough to feel tucked away. Many homes back up to the fairways or one of several private lakes, offering peaceful water views and occasional sightings of herons and turtles.
