Tanglewood Lake subdivision of Bainbridge

If functional home design is important to you as a home buyer, you should include Tanglewood Lake subdivision of Bainbridge Township on your shortlist.  Tanglewood Lake subdivision was developed approximately in the 70s and 80s, this is the about the same time frame during which the magnificient Walden of Aurora community was developed.  The street layout of Tanglewood Lake subdivision is similar to that of Walden, both subdivisions have winding streets and cul-de-sacs.  Both subdivisions have unique single family homes, lush trees, a lake and a golf course.  The superstructure colors of the homes in both the subdivisions blend into the surrounding landscape.

The centerpiece of Tanglewood Lake subdivision is Lake Tanglewood.  Several events are held around the lake.  A trampoline is installed in the lake and this is popular among some Tanglewood Lake subdivision residents.

Tanglewood Lake subdivision has about 500 housing units.  According to a long time and happy Tanglewood Lake subdivision resident, the single family homes are functional and have a “good skeleton” but some home buyers might find some units to be just a bit dated, the dated home elements can be remodeled to individual preference.

According to Tanglewood Lake subdivision website, an added advantage of living in Tanglewood Lake subdivision is,

the Tanglewood Water Division (TWD), our community water supply, which is owned by the Tanglewood Lake homeowners. Most of the homes in Bainbridge have only untreated well water and septic tank systems. Tanglewood Lake is the only community in Bainbridge with a full municipal-type water production and distribution system, a full complement of fire hydrants that meet all insurance requirements, and even a full emergency backup power system providing for uninterrupted full pressure water service.
