Made up of a group of small towns including Truckee, King’s Beach, and Carnelian Bay, North Lake Tahoe boasts more of a year-round population than other spots around the lake, which makes it feel more like the cozy mountain town it is than a boom-and-bust resort area. Residents embrace winter and summer sports but also have an appreciation for the region’s abundant lakefront drinking and apres-ski dining spots.

In pandemic times, the region attracted city transplants, many of whom have been drawn back to the city by workplace changes (farewell, WFH) or an itch for something new. The result is a briskly moving market — 127 homes sold in the last year at a median price of $1.155M, while 77 condos moved at a median of $670K, per Compass. Here, three listings for those mulling a weekend or permanent change:
