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.


Home Styles, Pricing & Features

Homes in GlenLakes range from traditional brick ranches to newer Gold Fortified Craftsman homes. Here’s a snapshot of the current market:

  • Price Range: $325,000 – $450,000+

  • Price per Square Foot: Typically $154 – $212

  • Average Square Footage: 1,800 – 2,500 sq ft

  • Average Year Built: Ranges from early 1990s to brand new 2025 construction

  • Lots: Many are around 0.25–0.40 acres; some larger

  • Waterfront Options: Many homes are golf course-front or on private manmade lakes—no true island properties, but excellent water views

New construction is available in select sections such as Carnoustie Place and Lakeview Estates, offering open-concept layouts, 9’ ceilings, quartz countertops, irrigation systems, and golf cart garages.


HOA & POA Information

GlenLakes is governed by a Property Owners Association (POA) and some enclaves also have a dedicated HOA.

  • Fees: Range from $170 to $200 quarterly, depending on the section

  • Includes: Common area maintenance, landscaping, clubhouse management, and security features

  • Amenities: Golf course (membership optional), outdoor pool, tennis/pickleball courts, clubhouse restaurant, and fishing piers

Some homes include optional full golf and club memberships, which provide access to social events, tournaments, and exclusive pool access.


Location & Nearby Attractions

Getting to GlenLakes is easy—just head east on County Road 12 from the Foley Beach Express. It’s:

  • 5 minutes to OWA entertainment and Tropic Falls Water Park

  • 10 minutes to Downtown Foley and Tanger Outlets

  • 15–20 minutes to Gulf Shores beaches

Nearby restaurants include:

  • Wolf Bay Lodge (seafood)

  • Local and Company Food+Drink (southern upscale)

  • Groovy Goat at OWA

  • Lambert’s Cafe (famous for "throwed rolls")

Outdoor lovers will appreciate the short drive to Graham Creek Nature Preserve for kayaking, trails, and birdwatching.


How Long Do Homes Stay on the Market?

  • Average Days on Market: 30–50 days

  • Many newer homes or golf course homes sell even faster due to demand and low inventory in the area.


Why GlenLakes Is a Smart Investment

With Baldwin County being one of the fastest-growing counties in Alabama, GlenLakes offers tremendous value. You’re getting high-quality homes in a peaceful setting with proximity to both urban conveniences and outdoor adventure. As more buyers seek homes near the beach but not on the beach, GlenLakes provides an ideal balance.

Whether you're downsizing, retiring, or looking for your next chapter, GlenLakes has the location, value, and lifestyle many are searching for.

Let’s tour GlenLakes together—I’d love to show you what makes this neighborhood such a special place to call home.
