Bloomberg Business recently ran a great article about the attraction of wealth to the small towns of America and ranked them. Truckee is ranked 15th.

So why is Truckee ranked among the Richest Small Towns in America? It isn’t because I live here! It is a combination of an incredibly beautiful area that offers great lifestyle driven by every outdoor activity option you can think of, the increasing popularity and availabiltiy of telecommuting – the internet is an amazing thing – and being able to travel for work from anywhere as transportation becomes easier and companies offer it more as a working option. When I moved here twenty years ago if you weren’t working in the resort industry your only other options were contractor or real estate agent. Thank goodness that has changed as there are enough of us realtors and real estate is competitive enough! More specifically the easy access from the San Francisco Bay Area, a community anchored by the big blue pearl, Lake Tahoe, and multiple world class skiing options spread throughout the area lead the way. When you look even closer you realize Donner Lake is taken for granted by many as the red headed step child to Lake Tahoe but it is one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the world. Truckee-ites love it. Then you look at the fantastic job the local community is doing of managing development in the area led by Truckee and Tahoe City. Just look how clean and cool the downtowns are becoming with all kinds of special events going on. Kings Beach is now jumping into action with their corridor redevelopment. If you question the success just take a bike ride on the Legacy Trail in Truckee along the river and look at all the smiling faces. You will quickly realize great things are happening and it is only getting better. The success of mountain biking at Northstar is another example of niche offerings becoming huge attractions. The mountain biking at Northstar rocks! Truckee Tahoe rocks!
If you are coming up for Labor Day and you want to see some great properties join us for the Tahoe Mountain Realty Fall Luxury Home Tour. If you are really lucky and reach out in advance we might even be able to arrange a hard-hat tour through the new Stellar properties or a couple of the new Mountainside homes under construction. There are two amazing homes being built in M-25 on home-sites 11 and 12. I look forward to listing M-12 first this winter. The properties under construction will range from $2-$6million.
