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.
South Lake Tahoe is an INCREDIBLE place to live. Surrounded by sheer beauty and nature, this town has strong communities in all activities outdoors. The town is very ecologically aware, with many efforts to protect the lake and the wilderness surrounding it. The population is quite small, and many people know one another here. Lake Tahoe is a vacation town so many job opportunities revolve around the tourist seasons.
