Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review

North Upper Truckee carries the south shore's most visible rebuild story. The Angora Fire tore through this corridor in June 2007, destroying more than 250 homes in the area, and the result, years later, is some of the newest housing stock in the basin. The homes skew modern, defensible-space landscaping is the norm, and the regrowing forest changes the light a little every year. The burn scar is still legible on the ridgelines and the trees have a generation of growing left to do. What the fire could not change is the setting: county-side quiet, the Upper Truckee close by, and Meyers' amenities a few minutes down the road.
