Northstar
Located in Truckee in the heart of Martis Valley, the community of Northstar was built around a golf course, Northstar Village and the Northstar California Ski Resort. Many of the homes surrounding the golf course are the original chateaus, priced closer to what might be considered entry level at Lake Tahoe. A few years ago, developers improved the Village with a skating rink, high-end shops and restaurants, building elegant condos that overlook the Village. The Ritz Carlton brought this community to an even higher level of luxury living, with townhomes and condos within this 5-star resort. Mountainside at Northstar also features exquisite luxury homes and M25, a newer development, boasts ski-in and ski-out access. Many homes have access to lifts and gondolas, incorporating the ski experience into the community. Northstar offers a variety of price points and architectural styles, and is centrally located on 267 in between Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.
