Glenwyck Farms, Terra Bella and Granada are three of Westlake's best-known residential enclaves, and each suits a different buyer. Glenwyck Farms offers wooded homesites of roughly 0.8 to more than one acre around a 13.5-acre park. Terra Bella is a small gated community of 28 lots with a 22.6-acre nature preserve. Granada is a larger community of 84 luxury homes on about 84 acres with trails that connect to Westlake's town network. All three share Westlake's high price point: the typical Westlake home was valued at about $3.07 million in January 2026, according to the Zillow Home Value Index.
At The Agency Dallas, our agents help buyers compare Westlake neighborhoods street by street. Here is how these three stack up.
What is Glenwyck Farms like?
The Town of Westlake describes Glenwyck Farms as a private community on more than 100 acres, with homesites ranging from about 0.8 acre to over an acre. Its defining feature is setting:
- Mature trees and a park-like layout
- Natural ponds and a running trail
- Glenwyck Farms Park, a 13.5-acre park with a brook, three rustic bridges and a paved walking path
Buyers who want space and greenery without the scale of a golf club community often start here.
What is Terra Bella like?
Terra Bella is a gated planned development of 28 lots on 54.7 acres, according to the town. Its standout amenity is a 22.6-acre open space and nature preserve with a hike and bike trail, with access from Dove Road and Sam School Road. The small number of lots means:
- Very limited resale inventory
- A quiet, private feel behind the gate
- A high share of land preserved as open space relative to the number of homes
What is Granada like?
Granada includes 84 single-family luxury homes on about 84 acres, per the Town of Westlake. Its open spaces are privately owned, but its trails are publicly accessible and connect into Westlake's broader trail network. Compared with the other two:
- More homes, so more frequent resale opportunities
- A neighborhood feel with connected walking routes
- Generally smaller lots than Glenwyck Farms' wooded acre-plus sites

Which buyer fits each enclave?
Matching your priorities to the community saves time on tours. In broad terms:
- Glenwyck Farms suits buyers who want land and trees, a park on their doorstep and an established neighborhood feel without a club community's structure.
- Terra Bella suits buyers who want a gate, very few neighbors and a large protected preserve, and who are willing to wait for one of only 28 lots to come up.
- Granada suits buyers who want a true neighborhood with more homes, walking trails that connect across town and more frequent chances to buy.
Some buyers also look at Westlake's other communities, including Vaquero for a private golf club, Quail Hollow for newer estate homes on lots over an acre, and Villaggio for one-acre-minimum lots. If none of these has the right home available, a private search or a lot purchase may be the next step. Our guide on Southlake vs. Westlake also helps buyers weigh whether a nearby Southlake neighborhood could meet the same needs.
