The Truckee Lifestyle

For those fortunate enough to own a home in Truckee, it has
proven to be a great investment. Value has risen steadily,
especially over the past few years, and real estate is still very
affordable compared to many Colorado ski locations. The Truckee
- North Lake Tahoe area has homes, both vacation and year-round,
in prices ranging from under $400,000 to multi-million dollar homes.
With nine major resorts within minutes of Truckee for downhill
skiing and snowboarding and four cross country ski resorts, it is
no wonder so many people choose this area as their winter
vacation destination.
Many have said they came to Truckee for the skiing, but stayed for
the summers. Summers in Truckee, with warm days and cool
nights, make it a perfect place for all outdoor recreation. The
surrounding mountains and trails are just waiting to be explored
while hiking, biking, rock climbing or camping. Mountain streams
and lakes await the fisherman's cast. Golf courses abound.
One of the best-kept secrets in Truckee is the amazing weather in
the fall. It is the favorite time of year for many locals and visitors.
Daytime temperatures are still warm enough for all outdoor
activities and views of the majestic mountains and lakes are
enhanced by spectacular color in the autumn dress of the aspens
and willows.
