Kings Beach & Tahoe City: Great options for those looking for charm, community, and access to both Northstar and the lake.
South Lake Tahoe: An active mix of investment properties and full-time living. We’re seeing more listings come on here now that spring has hit.

💡 Tips for Buyers
- Get pre-approved early. Properties can move fast, especially lakefronts and updated homes.
- Ask about fractional ownership options — they’re gaining traction in our market! Be sure and check out 517 Lucille Drive Incline Village, NV 89451 https://www.coldwellbanker.com/nv/incline-village/517-lucille-dr/lid-P00800000GiOxWaMHRblXnbCzZbBEg7XSb9U1hv1
- Tour mid-week if you can. Weekends are busy, and mid-week tours can give you a jump on the competition.
💰 Tips for Sellers
- Curb appeal matters — a fresh porch plant, power-washed deck, or clean windows go a long way.
- Stage your home for spring — light, airy decor helps buyers imagine summer by the lake.
- Highlight outdoor living — Tahoe buyers love decks, patios, and proximity to trails.
