CENTURY
21 Tahoe North, Realtors - Truckee Real Estate and Lake Tahoe Property
Areas
in Truckee, CA by Real Estate Subdivision
The Town of Truckee incorporated in 1993 with a
boundary surrounding 34 square miles of largely developed land in
the eastern portion of Nevada County. The Town incorporated with
a well-developed historic downtown core; a newer regional retail
and public service-oriented strip in the Gateway area of Donner
Pass Road; and a series of dispersed residential subdivisions developed
in the 1970s and 1980s geared primarily to the growing interest
in owning a cabin in the mountain resort area. These subdivisions
are literally spread out into the four far corners of the Town with
the Downtown Core and Gateway service area roughly in the middle.
Traditional mountain town neighborhoods evolved in the late 1800s
and 1900s with a mix of uses and housing types built around commercial
services. Downtown Truckee reflects this pattern. Most of Truckee's
neighborhoods discussed below were built in the 1960s and 1970s
as residential subdivisions and do not contain a traditional neighborhood
mix of uses. The Gateway neighborhood is one example of a neighborhood
in Truckee that developed within the last 30-40 years that does
include a mix of housing and commercial uses.

a mixture of commercial development centered around Commercial Row,
older residences, and industrial and railroad uses.
