Upper Truckee Neighborhood Description

This is the largest residential neighborhood in South lake Tahoe. It spreads all the way from the Y to the bottom of Echo summit in Myers. It has great access to the trails along the base of Echo summit for biking, hiking and  snow mobiling. The homes are located on large parcels and there  are numerous unbuildable parcels scattered between the current homes.  It is only a short drive to the shops at the Y or Myers for access to other skiing areas. This is a very popular area with locals. The fire in 2007 burnt much of the forest behind this neighborhood and destroyed over 200 homes in it. Many  of the burnt trees have been removed by the forest service which really opened up the area. The new homes that have been built are some of nicest in South lake Tahoe. Home mostly range between 250,000 and 900,000 in this area
