Montgomery Estates

One of South Lake Tahoe’s newer neighborhoods—most homes were built after 1980—Montgomery Estates is a very in-demand location for second home buyers and aspiring locals, primarily due to its beautiful architecture and private, forested setting. Located along Tahoe’s Pioneer Trail, this neighborhood is comprised of five sections: Cold Creek/Lake Christopher, Kokanee Estates, High Meadows (above the trail), Golden Bear and Meadow Lakes (below the trail). Homes in this market offer spectacular lake and/or mountain views, creek frontage, close proximity to trail access points, and a few border State Conservancy/National Forest land.

Despite its tucked away atmosphere, Montgomery Estates is nicely situated close to many of South Lake Tahoe’s main attractions. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will certainly appreciate that they’re a mere four-mile trek to Heavenly Mountain, one of Tahoe’s most popular ski sports resorts. Beaches, shopping malls, casinos and a wide variety of recreation are conveniently located within a 10 minute drive.

The combination of newer and often dazzling home designs, abundant modern features, well-maintained and landscaped properties, and desirable location consistently places homes in this neighborhood in the top three median home values in South Lake Tahoe. As of this writing available homes in this market start at $600k and approach $2 million, with a median home price of $907,500. Most Montgomery Estates homes for sale typically have at least three bedrooms and two baths, and may include hot tubs, vaulted ceilings, skylights, walk-in closets, granite countertops, and other popular features and amenities.
