Homes in Glen Lake
The city's land use plan says the Glen Lake area grew as a neighborhood starting in the 1930s, with single-family homes on one-third to one-half acre lots that first used private septic systems and wells. City sewer and water replaced most of those systems in the mid-1970s, according to the city's history page. The city's Glen Lake redevelopment project names the Glen Lake Shores condominiums and The Glen townhouses along Stewart Lane. So the area mixes older houses on larger lots with attached homes.
Parks and places nearby
