About Truckee

Truckee is a historic mountain town located just north of Lake Tahoe, offering a unique blend of Old West character and modern mountain living. The charming downtown along Donner Pass Road features locally-owned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and a vibrant community that thrives year-round.

The Truckee real estate market is diverse, ranging from historic homes near downtown to luxury estates in gated communities like Martis Camp, Lahontan, and Gray's Crossing. The town also offers more affordable options in neighborhoods like Glenshire, Tahoe Donner, and Sierra Meadows, making it one of the most accessible markets in the greater Tahoe area.

Truckee's appeal extends beyond real estate — the town has excellent schools, a regional hospital, grocery stores, and the services of a genuine mountain community. Located at the intersection of I-80 and Highway 89, Truckee provides easy access to multiple ski resorts including Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, and Boreal, plus the Truckee-Tahoe Airport for private aviation.

  • ✓ Access to 5+ ski resorts within 30 minutes
  • ✓ Year-round community with schools and hospital
  • ✓ Diverse price points from condos to luxury estates
