Historic Downtown Truckee
The town of Truckee is a dynamic recreational area that is nestled in the picturesque Sierra Nevada Mountains at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This forested region is filled with lakes, streams, meadows, trails, parks, campgrounds, and all-season resorts in a spectacular alpine setting. The Truckee community is the business hub of the High Sierra, as well as the transportation center for the region. Many seasonal events attract vacationers and second home residents to the area, and Truckee’s historic downtown is a charming spot for shops, restaurants, music spots, and a visitor’s center. Most of the downtown real estate is commercial, with intermittent homesites. The Gateway Center in Truckee is close to schools, shopping, restaurants, and banking.
