The community of Kingsbury is located at the highest point of the Sierra Nevada mountains and tucked between Lake Tahoe and Carson Valley. Near the hustle and bustle of Stateline's casinos and not far from the waters of Lake Tahoe, Kingsbury offers a more residential feel from its neighborhood streets, highly rated public schools, and emphasis on local businesses.

Condos, townhomes and cabins
Like most mountain communities, steep roadways flanked on either side with thick treelines bring residents to their Kingsbury homes. It's hard to find a Kingsbury home that is not situated along the steep mountain grades. But with these high-elevation residences come panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada. While Kingsbury is home to plenty of single-family homes, there are a few condominium and townhome developments for seasonal residents or full-timers. These developments typically have two or three bedrooms, are close to ski lodges and typically cost between $400,000 and $600,000. Many single-family homes look like log cabins, with wooden exteriors and sometimes interiors. Large mountain homes feature large windows, bringing in tons of natural sunlight. These homes, primarily built in the late 1970s, range from $800,000 to $2 million for two to five bedrooms.
