Today, more than 600,000 people visit Squaw Valley each winter, making it one of the most popular ski areas in the country. Located 12 miles south of Truckee, Squaw Valley offers plenty of options for year-round activities and entertainment. Alpine Meadows is set in a canyon nestled off of Highway 89 between Truckee and Tahoe City. It is known as the neighborhood adjoining the ski resort of the same name, is a quaint community located about six miles northwest of Tahoe City. Alpine Meadows has a permanent population of around 500 residents, with three single-family home subdivisions and five townhome and condo complexes. Homes in the community - most built in the contemporary and mountain styles - off erstunning natural scenery as well as quick access to the slopes in winter months.

 

What to Expect

The Alpine Meadows neighborhood is wooded and hilly and the elevation is slightly higher than other North Lake Tahoe neighborhoods, so snow melt takes longer in Spring. Skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating rule during the winter months, while in the summer, residents enjoy hiking, biking, golfing, swimming, and horseback riding. The Village at Squaw Valley hosts numerous musical events and festivals during the summer and is home to dozens of restaurants and shops.
