Glenbrook
Of the 750 acres comprising Glenbrook, approximately 150 have been developed. Nearly 600 acres remain undisturbed, offering homeowners a number of unique recreational opportunities. This quiet, gated area includes more than 1/2 mile of private sandy beach, acres of meadowland, members tennis courts, an Association pier, and a membership nine-hole golf course, built in 1926.
Glenbrook, as the oldest settlement on Lake Tahoe, played a significant part of Nevada's statehood as the main supplier of timber to the Comstock and Virginia City. The two-story New England-style homes honor the architectural heritage of Glenbrook's pioneer settlers.
There are three schools that serve the Glenbrook neighborhood: George Whittell High School, Kingsbury Middle School and Zephyr Cove Elementary. Combined, the three schools have an estimated 600 students and 70 teachers. In August of 2008, Whittell will consolidate with Kingsbury Middle School to become a campus for grades 7 through 12.
In 2005, Whittell was designated as "exemplary", one of only five Nevada schools to earn this honor.
