Truckee, California
The Town of Truckee is nestled in the picturesque Sierra Nevada Mountains at an elevation of 6,000 feet. About 15 minutes north of Lake Tahoe, this historically rich mountain Town has evolved into a premier resort community offering year-round recreational opportunities. These include world class ski resorts and scenic golf courses, boating and fishing on numerous lakes and streams and hiking and biking through national forests.

The Town, incorporated in 1993, has become the center of commerce for the North Lake Tahoe area. Many new businesses, both tourist based and local-serving, have emerged over the past few years. The economy, once very seasonal, is now vibrant and multi-dimensional.

Real estate sales in the Truckee area has experienced tremendous growth since the late 1990's, both in the number of units sold and the amount of appreciation. Larger developments, including private golf course communities and luxury multi-family projects, have recently been added to the existing single family housing stock to provide Buyers a wide variety of housing choices.
