Downtown Truckee

Downtown Truckee captures Gold Rush charm with its weathered brick facades and wooden storefronts lining historic Commercial Row. The Old Jail Museum and Railroad Museum tell stories of the town's 19th-century logging and railroad past. Wander past Victorian-era buildings or check out the iconic Rocking Stone Tower before relaxing by the crystal-clear Truckee River that flows through town. Mountain comfort food dominates the dining scene with hearty American fare and craft beer options. Boutique hotels and cozy bed & breakfasts offer fireplaces and mountain views for overnight stays. The compact downtown is easily explored on foot, with the free trolley connecting to Northstar during ski season.

Northstar

The Northstar neighborhood has lots to see including Northstar California Resort and Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort Golf Course.

I grew up in Northern California and was fortunate to live fairly close to Tahoe. Northstar is one of my favorite places. The view from the top on a nice sunny day is amazing. There is also a nice village at the bottom of the mountain with tons of shops and restaurants.

Northstar Village

Northstar Village turns mountain life into a vacation fantasy with its car-free, alpine-style wonderland. The pedestrian plaza buzzes with skiers and shoppers circling the centrepiece ice skating rink. Hit the slopes via the Big Springs Express Gondola in winter or tackle mountain biking trails when the snow melts. Fire pits invite you to kick back with hot chocolate while watching the sunset paint Tahoe's mountains. Upscale restaurants serve farm-to-table cuisine that tastes even better after a day outdoors. Luxury condos and boutique hotels offer cozy fireplaces and mountain views, though they command premium prices. The heated walkways make exploring this compact village a breeze, even in your snow boots.
