Kings Beach is a local favorite for those who want to be close to Lake Tahoe. A unique, family-centric community, Kings Beach is located on the North shore of Lake Tahoe near the California-Nevada border. Centered around one of the largest sandy beaches on the lake, this vibrant, walkable community is filled with shops, restaurants, events, and activities. Its central location offers easy access to all of the area’s year-round recreation, including skiing, hiking, biking, and water sports. Tahoe City, Truckee, and Northstar are all a short drive away.

One of the most affordable communities in the Tahoe area, the majority of Kings Beach homeowners are fulltime residents. Many of the homes are set on quiet, wooded streets and have a charming, “Old Tahoe” cabin feel. Several upscale developments in the area also offer lakeview or lakefront homes, townhomes, and condominiums that are ideal for all-season vacation getaways.

Located on the North shore of Lake Tahoe, just six miles east of Tahoe City, Carnelian Bay is seeped in boating history. Sierra Boat Company, one of the premier wooden boat builders in the country, opened here in 1952 and hosts the annual Concours d’Elegance wooden boat show each summer. Boat enthusiasts and sun seekers alike can be found sipping Wet Woodys at Garwood’s Grill & Pier – a Carnelian Bay institution. Off the lake, residents enjoy the area’s close proximity to Tahoe’s premier ski resorts, beautiful beaches, and miles of trails.

From “Old Tahoe”-style cabins set on quiet, wooded streets to multi-million dollar lakefront estates, Carnelian Bay offers a variety real estate options, all with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and world-famous mountain adventure.
