Since GlenLakes opened its gate

in 1990, the Country Club has continued to quietly grow and evolve into one of West central Florida’s finest gated secure communities. GlenLakes truly defines the term – “Diamond in the Rough.” Situated one hour north of Tampa, GlenLakes in Weeki Wachee is outside the hustle and bustle of the big city life yet remains within the center of everything. Residents are three miles from Highway 50 for East/ West travel and nine miles from the Sun Coast Expressway for North/ South ventures. This prime location allows you easy access to shops, restaurants, medical facilities, and entertainment venues should you wish to venture out of GlenLakes. Another favorite is the community of Spring Hill just a short three-mile drive away. There, residents will find commercial areas that fulfill all the needs for daily conveniences. In addition, the community’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico provides plenty of opportunities for swimming, fishing, and leisurely strolls along the beach. Situated on 1,400 acres of native terrain encompassing clear lakes, towering pines, and magnificent oaks. This 24-hour manned; gated neighborhood retains the integrity of its immaculate Nature Coast setting with an 85,000-acre State-owned Nature Preserve surrounding it. Welllit quiet streets, broad landscaped boulevards lined with palms blend into the pristine landscape that lead to welcoming individual villages of homes within the community.
