Lakefront charm, mountain adventure, and a welcoming year-round community.
Tahoe City sits on the northwest shore of Lake Tahoe and offers a rare blend of lakefront living, outdoor recreation, and small-town character. With sweeping shoreline, easy access to the mountains, and a walkable downtown filled with local shops, restaurants, and waterfront paths, it’s one of the most desirable communities in the entire region.
Residents enjoy some of the best lake access in Tahoe, from public piers and beaches to paddleboarding, boating, and lakeside trail systems. The Tahoe City Marina, Commons Beach, the Lakeside Trail, and the Truckee River outlet create a laid-back, outdoor-focused lifestyle that’s hard to match.
Tahoe City’s downtown is packed with locally owned restaurants, cafés, boutiques, gear shops, galleries, and a lively seasonal event scene. Summer brings outdoor concerts and movies at Commons Beach, while winter lights up with cozy après-ski stops and holiday events.
Tahoe City sits between world-class ski destinations, including Palisades Tahoe, Homewood, and Northstar, making it a perfect base for winter sports. In summer, miles of trails surround the town, offering hiking, biking, and panoramic views of the lake and mountains. The Tahoe Rim Trail, Granlibakken, and Page Meadows are all close by.
From classic cabins to thoughtfully updated mountain homes to lakefront estates, Tahoe City offers a broad mix of properties. Popular neighborhoods include Dollar Point, Talmont, Granlibakken, The Highlands, Pineland, and the Tahoe Park area with access to the private Tahoe Park HOA beach.
With close proximity to Truckee, Kings Beach, and the West Shore, plus nearby markets, schools, bike paths, and year-round recreation, Tahoe City offers convenience while still feeling like a true mountain retreat.
