Living in Glen Lake centres daily life around calm water, a public beach, and trail connections that make walking and cycling part of the routine. Families enjoy nearby schools, playgrounds, and community sports, while professionals appreciate the short drive to shopping and services across the West Shore and straightforward routes toward downtown Victoria. Housing includes single family homes, townhomes, and lakeside condos that appeal to first time buyers, move up households, and downsizers who want easy access to the water. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I show how lake frontage, park proximity, and school catchments shape demand and long term value in Glen Lake so you can choose with confidence.
