Lake Tanglewood, TX

Tucked into the canyon country southeast of Amarillo, Lake Tanglewood offers a rare slice of waterfront living in the Texas Panhandle. Home to around 700 residents, this private, gated village is built directly around a scenic lake fed by Palo Duro Creek. Life here is quiet and self-contained, supported by neighborhood staples like a golf course, a community church, a central clubhouse, and a dedicated volunteer fire department.

Most days revolve around the outdoors, whether that means boating, fishing, playing a round of golf, or catching up with neighbors. Amarillo is only a short drive away for work, dining, and daily errands, making it easy to enjoy city conveniences while coming home to a relaxed lakeside retreat. It is a close-knit community where residents take active pride in maintaining their private roads, shared amenities, and scenic corner of the High Plains.
