I love where I live because of the numerous opportunities to recreate outside. So many outdoor activities are easily accessed right outside your doorstep. It has been a quaint mountain town full of people who love and respect nature. The demographic used to be people of lower or middle incomes that worked hard with their passion being for the mountains. However, since the pandemic, the demographic has changed, and people with much more money have moved in making it hard for anyone who isn't wealthy to own a home or afford to live here anymore.
South Lake Tahoe is an amazing place to live and explore as there are so many things to do throughout South Lake Tahoe. You have one of the best sceneries in the whole entire world and that is Lake Tahoe. You have so many different types of food options throughout South Lake Tahoe. The town is also small where you can recognize some faces and create a relationship, but it is also touristy if you go towards state line. I absolutely love South Lake Tahoe.
SLT is home. The community can be tight-nit but once you live here you are local. Great outdoor activities! Skiing, snowboarding, water sports, hiking, camping, fishing--you name it, Tahoe has it.
