Where mountain lifestyle, history, and community come together.
Sitting at 5,800 feet in the high Sierra, Truckee blends rugged natural beauty with the energy of a vibrant mountain town. Once a historic railroad hub, it has grown into one of the most desirable communities in the West, a place where year-round adventure, strong community, and elevated living all come together.
Truckee delivers an unmatched outdoor lifestyle. Residents enjoy world-class skiing and riding at Palisades Tahoe, Northstar California, and Sugar Bowl; endless mountain biking and hiking trails; fly-fishing on the Truckee River; and quick access to Lake Tahoe for summer boating and beach days. With over 250 sunny days a year, it’s the kind of place where being outside isn’t a hobby, it’s a way of life.
From the forested estates of Martis Camp, Lahontan, and Schaffer’s Mill, to the family-friendly streets of Glenshire, to the amenity-rich mountain recreation of Tahoe Donner, Truckee offers a diverse mix of neighborhoods that suit full-time residents, second-home owners, and investors alike. Each area has its own personality, community features, and access to trails, golf, and open space.
Downtown Truckee combines its Old West charm with a thriving modern scene. Boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, local breweries, coffee houses, art galleries, live music, and community events make the historic corridor the heart of the town. It’s the perfect place to stroll after skiing, grab a drink on a summer patio, or enjoy one of Truckee’s many festivals.
Truckee is known for its welcoming, tight-knit community. Locals look out for one another, support small businesses, and come together for everything from outdoor film nights to charity events. With excellent schools, active youth programs, and a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship, Truckee remains one of the most family-oriented mountain towns in California.
