Welcome to Dollar Point, Lake Forest & The Highlands
Known for private amenities, scenic beauty, and exceptional North Lake Tahoe living.
Located just east of Tahoe City, Dollar Point, Lake Forest, and The Highlands form one of North Lake Tahoe's most desirable residential corridors. While each neighborhood has its own identity, they share convenient access to the lake, a strong sense of community, and an ideal location just minutes from downtown Tahoe City. Together, they offer a wide range of housing options and recreational opportunities, making this area especially popular with full-time residents, second-home owners, and families looking to enjoy the North Shore year-round.
Dollar Point is best known for its private homeowner amenities and established neighborhood atmosphere. Residents enjoy access to a private beach, pier, buoy field, swimming pool, and tennis courts—features that have made the community one of the North Shore's most consistently sought-after neighborhoods. Homes range from classic Tahoe cabins to extensively renovated lakeview properties and custom residences, many offering generous lots and panoramic views. Just to the east, Lake Forest has a more relaxed, traditional character, with level streets, original mountain homes, updated cabins, and townhomes tucked among the pines. Nearby boat ramps, Lake Forest Beach, and Skylandia State Park make it a favorite for buyers who want easy access to the lake while maintaining a quieter residential setting. Above the shoreline, The Highlands offers a more secluded feel, with larger homesites, forested streets, and immediate access to the Tahoe Cross Country trail system, making it especially attractive to buyers who prioritize hiking, mountain biking, and Nordic skiing.
One of the greatest advantages of this corridor is its central location. Residents can bike into Tahoe City along the paved lakeside trail, spend afternoons on the water, or reach Palisades Tahoe, Northstar California Resort, and Homewood Mountain Resort within a short drive. Restaurants, grocery stores, local shops, and year-round community events are all nearby, allowing homeowners to enjoy the conveniences of town while returning home to quieter residential neighborhoods. Whether your priorities include private homeowner amenities, direct trail access, or a traditional North Shore setting, Dollar Point, Lake Forest, and The Highlands each offer a distinct way to experience life in North Lake Tahoe.
