Tahoe City is an ideal location for anyone looking to be central to everything the region has to offer. Just a short (12 mile) drive off of Highway 80, Tahoe City sits on Lake Tahoe and is surrounded by trails, so that watersports, beaches, hiking, and biking are easily accessible. In the winter, Tahoe City is central to Homewood, Alpine Meadows & Squaw Valley and Northstar. The town itself offers an array of dining, shopping, spa and entertainment options. Commons Beach in the center of Tahoe City hosts summer concerts, arts fairs, farmers' markets and more.
