Lake Tahoe, the clear, cobalt-blue lake tucked into the Sierra Nevada mountain range, welcomes athletes, adventurers and casual travelers to its easygoing and pine-scented atmosphere. A long sought-after vacation destination, Lake Tahoe is the nation's second deepest lake, and the area previously served as a transcontinental route for the first railroad and later highways. As roadside stops increased in the area, so did the bustle, attracting travelers who were taken by Lake Tahoe's beauty and wealth of activities. Over the course of the 20th century, Lake Tahoe blossomed into a scenic locale adored by visitors and locals alike.
Exploring Tahoe's towns that surround the lake might make you feel like you're swaggering through a modernized downtown from the Old West or freeing yourself of life's unnecessary pressures by embracing the chill West Coast vibe that permeates throughout the area. Visit Lake Tahoe in the summer where you can paddle board on the sparkling lake during the day and gaze at the numerous constellations illuminating the sky at night. Or if the idea of careening down a mountain slope on skis quickens your heartbeat, pay Tahoe a visit it has it all.
Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places to live in Nevada, showcasing all four seasons and all the best of a mountain vacation destination. The sparkling lake is surrounded by towering mountains, and year-round residents can enjoy swimming and fishing in the lake, marveling at spectacular fall foliage, and playing in the abundant snow.
Known for its spectacular scenery and outdoor adventure, Lake Tahoe is also an amazing place to retire or raise a family. With excellent schools, plenty of amenities, and a wide variety of housing available, Lake Tahoe has everything you need in a hometown.
The lake itself is one of the best parts of living in Lake Tahoe. When the weather is warm, residents and tourists alike enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, water sports, and spending the day on the beach. During the cooler months, fishing is still lots of fun and the water provides a stunning scenic backdrop while hiking around the lake, snowmobiling in the mountains, or exploring to watch for birds or practice your landscape photography. Don't forget about the Tahoe ski resorts ready to help you hit the slopes! Lake Tahoe is a dream location for anyone who enjoys outdoor recreation, with a way to enjoy just about every outdoor hobby without traveling more than a few miles.
Visit Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort, the largest ski area in California and Nevada. When the snow falls, it is filled with ski runs for snowboarders and skiers of all levels, and there is plenty of space for tubing and snowmobiling, too. During the summer months, ride the gondola for a truly breathtaking view of the mountains. Many residents love having a season pass for the lift, making a quick ski trip accessible any time.
Another perk of living in a top vacation destination is the restaurant scene. Everything from casual takeout to fine dining is available in Lake Tahoe, no matter what you're craving. Many restaurants in the area also feature live music. You will find a cluster of many of the best restaurants along Highway 50 near the state border.
Major shopping for groceries and other necessities can be accessed along Highway 50 toward Carson City, where you will find Costco, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and more.
Families with school aged children are supported by the excellent public schools in Douglas County School District. There are also many private schools in Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas for those searching for an alternative to the public schools.
Many homes in Lake Tahoe are designed in a luxury cabin style, true to the mountainous atmosphere surrounding the beautiful lake. You will find a wide range of price points and sizes in Lake Tahoe real estate, with some condos and townhomes available, as well and small bungalows and cabins, large single-family homes, and massive lakefront estates. After determining your budget and wish list, we can help you find your dream Lake Tahoe home among the diverse array of choices.
