Glen Lakes market snapshot (as of June 24, 2026): the median sale price is about $368K ($185 per sq ft), with homes averaging 83 days on market and 8.1 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. Based on 52 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Glen Lakes, marketed as GlenLakes Country Club, is a gated golf community in Weeki Wachee, in coastal Hernando County in the 34613 ZIP, set on roughly 1,400 acres of lakes, ancient oaks, and pines about an hour north of Tampa. Development began in the mid-1990s and has continued toward a planned build-out of roughly 1,500 homesites, so the community blends established homes with newer construction from a range of builders.
The centerpiece is the private 18-hole course designed by Ron Garl, paired with a large clubhouse and amenities including tennis, a fitness center, a ballroom, and walking and biking trails, all behind a 24-hour manned gatehouse. Homes range from villas and patio homes to larger custom residences, many on golf, lake, or preserve homesites, and condition and vintage vary with the long build-out.
Because this is a country-club community, the structure matters: confirm the HOA dues and what they cover, the Community Development District assessment if one applies to a specific homesite, and the club or golf membership options and costs, since those can be separate from owning a home. It is broadly an all-ages community popular with active adults and retirees rather than a strict 55-plus community, but confirm any age rules for a specific section.
For buyers who want gated golf, a manned gate, and a quiet preserve setting at Hernando County prices, Glen Lakes is a distinctive option. The work is reading the homesite and view, the home's condition, and the full HOA, CDD, and club picture honestly before any list price wins you over.
