Truckee and surrounding area

Truckee has the most variety of homes for sale in all price ranges.  Once just a whistle stop on the way up and down Donner Pass it is now a thriving mountain town written up often as one of the top 5 mountain towns to live in. Founded in the middle of the Civil War it was named after an Indian chief who greeted the newly arrived saying “Tro-Kay,” which meant everything was all right.  Settlers thought he was saying his name so they named the all-right town, Truckee.  The infamous Donner Party camped and died on the edge of what is now Truckee.

There are many and diverse subdivisions around the town of Truckee which incorporated in 1993.  Many condominiums, cabins and homes are for sale in the town and surrounding areas.
