Living in Incline Village
Incline Village is Lake Tahoe's most exclusive full-scale community — a master-planned Nevada town on the lake's northeast corner where residents enjoy private beaches, a community-owned ski resort, two golf courses, and the tax benefits that earned it the nickname "Income Village."
The Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) is the key to the lifestyle: property ownership brings access to Incline Beach, Burnt Cedar Beach with its lakeside pool, Diamond Peak Ski Resort, the Championship and Mountain golf courses, and a recreation center — a private amenity package no other Tahoe community matches.
Lakeshore Boulevard's estates rank among the most valuable residential real estate in America, but Incline's housing also includes mid-mountain condos, townhomes near the Hyatt, and classic 1970s Tahoe homes in the upper elevations. Sand Harbor — the most beautiful beach on the lake — is ten minutes down the east shore. Sierra Nevada University's former campus adds an institutional anchor, and the Hyatt Regency's Lone Eagle Grille remains the north lake's classic lakefront dinner.
