Considering Condo Vacation Rentals in Lake Tahoe

Because many people want to live in or near Lake Tahoe, or at least own a piece of property they can call their own in the area, condominium growth has been explosive here over the last ten years. Due to a local government dedicated to preserving the natural pristine surroundings of the environment, a spiraling real estate market and the ever growing popularity of the area, prices for real estate have risen to dizzying heights.

Such demand has resulted in the development of condos in Lake Tahoe like you’ve never seen before. There are themed condos where the buildings, the interiors and the common areas are decorated like jungles. There are condos that resemble resorts more than places where people actually live. There are condos with pools that rival the grandest pools in the desert palaces of Las Vegas and Palm Springs and lakefront condos with recreational facilities for use that rival the commercial establishments around the lake.

By using a realtor or searching websites you can get an idea of some of the things that are available in the area. But the first thing you must do is to actually go to Lake Tahoe and spend some time in the area. You might like the hustle and bustle of the South Shore near the casinos and the shopping malls – or not. You might like the peace and serenity of a woodsy setting perhaps near the ski slopes or across from a gentle mountain stream. Or you might wish to be right on the lake itself, after all that is the main attraction.

A simple one bedroom in a small complex of similar condos could just be right for you and a guest. Or perhaps a 2,000 square foot, four-bedroom, ultra modern unit with underground parking in a complex of over 500 suits you. Maybe you’ve retired and would like to live with other retirees in a complex whose design was intended from the start to accommodate older people. You choose. Whatever you want, however you’d like to live, it can be found somewhere around Lake Tahoe.
