A quiet golfing community

Just 27.5 miles north of Orlando’s bustling metropolis is Glen Abbey, a quiet suburb of Debary. The neighborhood encompasses several subdivisions, some within gated communities and some located directly on the green of the Glen Abbey Golf Club. “I was doing a lot of business in this community, and I just fell in love with it,” says Susan Ekalo, broker and owner of Debary Realty. “At the time, my husband and I were looking to raise a family in a place that was an established neighborhood. The other larger lots are really spread out, and there’s little connection between neighbors.” Glen Abbey is a smaller, connected community centered around its premier golfing lifestyle.

Spanish Revival-style homes atop sprawling lawns

Glen Abbey features long winding streets with several cul-de-sacs branching off main roads. Narrow sidewalks shaded by verdant mature trees lead residents through a neighborhood lined with homes sitting atop sprawling green lawns spanning 0.25 to 1 acre in size. New traditional and Spanish Revival-style houses with rounded archways and stucco exteriors dot the streets. Most homes here feature inground pools, ideal for enjoying the subtropical climate. Glen Abbey is filled with legacy owners, but when homes are on the market, they move quickly to close. “The market is booming, and nothing sits for long,” Ekalo says. Prices vary with acreage, as homes with less than half an acre sell for between $400,000 to $550,000, with the average price falling around $500,000. Homes with half an acre or more tend to go for $500,000 to $650,000, with the average cost hovering around $600,000.
