Lake Tanglewood, TX – Community Guide

Lake Tanglewood is a private, gated village located about 15 miles southeast of Amarillo, nestled in a scenic section of the Palo Duro Canyon. Originally developed in the early 1960s as a residential resort, it quickly became a close-knit community with its own local government, volunteer fire department, and community church. Today, it’s known for peaceful living, breathtaking views, and a true getaway feel — all while being a short drive from Amarillo’s conveniences.

Real Estate in Lake Tanglewood
