Welcome to North Upper Truckee
Known for forested homesites, outdoor recreation, and authentic Tahoe livin
North Upper Truckee is a quiet residential neighborhood located south of The Y along the base of Angora Ridge. Surrounded by the Upper Truckee River, Washoe Meadows State Park, and thousands of acres of U.S. Forest Service land, the neighborhood offers a peaceful mountain setting with convenient access to both outdoor recreation and everyday amenities. Larger parcels, mature pines, and limited through traffic have made it one of South Lake Tahoe's most desirable communities for full-time residents and second-home owners alike.
The neighborhood features a diverse mix of classic Tahoe cabins, updated mountain homes, and custom residences, many situated on generously sized lots that border conservancy land or national forest. This natural setting provides exceptional privacy while preserving the neighborhood's forested character. Buyers are often drawn to North Upper Truckee for its spacious feel, established homes, and close connection to the surrounding landscape.
Life in North Upper Truckee is centered on year-round recreation. Residents enjoy immediate access to hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, with nearby destinations including Washoe Meadows State Park, Angora Lakes, Fallen Leaf Lake, and Echo Summit. The Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School, shopping, restaurants, and services at The Y are all just minutes away, while Heavenly, Sierra-at-Tahoe, and Kirkwood offer convenient access to skiing throughout the winter. For buyers seeking larger lots, forest surroundings, and exceptional access to the outdoors, North Upper Truckee remains one of the South Shore's most sought-after neighborhoods.
