South Lake Tahoe Neighborhoods

When you first begin your search for a new home, we all focus on the first rule in real estate and that’s “location.”  That’s why it’s so important to pick the right neighborhood for your purchase.  The right neighborhood can be defined very differently based on the buyer’s needs, whether it’s for a local family or an out of town investor looking for income.  If a buyer is not familiar with an area or even thinks that they are, it’s important to pick the right real estate professional to help guide them to the area that will suit their needs.  You need a realtor that’s been in the business and in the area for a long time to ensure that they’re educated enought to provide this guidance. 
South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods offer a wide range of amenities to suit a variety of buyers, from boaters to mountaineers.  For example, a big draw for a second home buyer coming from the heat of the Sacramento Valley may be the Tahoe Keys for it’s proximity and direct access to Lake Tahoe.  That particularly buyer desires water sports like boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, etc. and just wants to cool off in Tahoe’s pristine water.  Whereas, a long time local that’s raising a family in Tahoe may want to escape to the solitude of a county subdivion like North Upper Truckee and avoid the hustle and bustle of city life.  Schools for their children will also come to the forefront, like the Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School in Meyers, that’s near the Upper Truckee neighborhood. 
Either way, from those that love our brisk winter months and deep Sierra Nevada powder to those that enjoy the cool mountain waters of Lake Tahoe to escape those steamy California summers, South Lake Tahoe has a neighborhood that offers something for you.
