Living in a mountain town comes with serious perks. Just ask any local throughout the Lake Tahoe or Truckee region. They will be the first to tell you that if you have the opportunity to retire to where the air is clear, the skies are blue, and mountains and lakes are your backyard, that you should consider a move to enjoy the quality of life that comes with living a full life in the quaint collection of mountain towns within the magnificent High Sierra.
There are many reasons why we chose to move our family to Truckee many years ago. And today, hundreds of empty nesters are following the trend to flock to the mountains. In fact, a recent mid-term real estate report documents that people just like you are ‘seeking the good life’ by using the equity from their former family home to build or purchase a new home in which to live ‘happily ever after.”

Come Seek ‘The Good Life” in a Small Mountain Town
From our personal experience, you can rest assured that your kids will be delighted that you chose to move to our little piece of paradise that is wrapped with nationally-recognized ski and golf resorts, an eclectic assortment of bon-appetit praised restaurants, and music, arts and cultural events and festivals on tap year-round. And that’s just the beginning. Here are some more highlights that will entice you to think about retiring, or moving, to the communities which typify the term ‘home sweet home” for all the right reasons.

Healthier Lifestyle.
No matter what Lake Tahoe or Truckee community you choose to call ‘home,’ traffic, air, noise and light and water pollution is an unknown. What does exist is an endless passion to live a good life in and around the great outdoors – steps from your porch or within a short scenic drive.
In addition to the great outdoors, you’re going to appreciate the indoors when you can pour yourself a drink of water – right from the tap. Throughout the region our public utility districts continue to win national awards for the clarity of their water systems.
In Truckee, the water comes from 12 deep wells. Because of natural filtration, the groundwater aquifer is protected from surface water contamination which gives us a water quality that meets and exceeds state and federal government standards. Cheers!

Slower Pace of Living.
It seems the old saying “Stop and Smell the Roses” applies in every mountain town as does the pace apply to Lake Tahoe and Truckee. Rush hour is non-existent. Stop lights are few. Long conversations at sunset are many.
As for traffic … other than a few of the key holidays around the resorts, you’re going to love your commute – how’s five minutes to town and back sound?

Higher Quality of Life.
Just one look at a calendar of events and you will start to appreciate the value that comes with living in and around the High Sierra. From fundraisers for local charities or purposeful parties to support athletic programs, to our festive events, there’s always something to do year-round. And throughout each season, there are a series of arts and humanities-based lectures and workshops and a diverse selection of free community events that support personal growth, wellness, and community.
