Do you want to move to a gated golf course community and put $50,000 in your pocket at the same time?
If so, look no further than the Glen at Golden Eagle.
This popular NE Tallahassee neighborhood contained within the gates of Golden Eagle Plantation has houses for sale at prices roughly $50K less than what we saw during the peak of the housing market. Considering interest rates are lower now too, it's a great time to pull the trigger if you have been considering a move.
These houses began construction in 1997 and continued through 2006, as the neighborhood sold out quickly at the end of the rapid expansion of the Tallahassee housing market.
Just as you will find among the thousands of zero-lot line neighborhoods winding around and near golf courses throughout warm and sunny Florida, houses in the Glen sustain their popularity to those interested in being very near a golf course while living the country club lifestyle.
In this report, we will look at average house price trends, house value trends, and house size trends in the Glen At Golden Eagle. Additionally, all current listings are shown from the Tallahassee MLS and all closed house sales going back to the first one sold in 1997.
