Tahoe City is one of the most popular year-round vacation destinations in the world. Mark Twain boasted Tahoe City as the "Jewel of the Sierra."

The North and West Shores of Tahoe have many famous ski resorts to choose from, such as Squaw Valley Ski Resort, Alpine Meadows and Northstar at Tahoe, just to name a few.
Tahoe's four distinct seasons and stunning natural environment encourage year-round outdoor recreation, while indoor entertainment options range from lively nearby casinos, bowling, and theatres to fine restaurants, providing plenty to do for residents and visitors alike. Tahoe's beautiful mountain peaks, majestic forests, crystal clear waters, and endless recreational opportunities make it an extremely attractive place to visit or live.
Residents of the small communities and subdivisions of this region bask in the breathtaking scenery and peaceful small town atmosphere while still having convenient access to cities like Reno (45 minutes), Sacramento (2 hours), and San Francisco (3.5 hours). Reno provides easy air access to the area as well as Truckee via private planes. Every subdivision along the North and West Shores of Tahoe is unique, offering its own blend of history and culture to this serene mountain style of living. Real estate options in Tahoe City consist of luxury estates, mountain homes and cabins, condominiums, and some land for custom building.
