A small mountain community along the shores of Lake Tahoe
Tahoma, a small community on the western shores of Lake Tahoe, was exclusively a vacation resort over a century ago. Today, Tahoe is home to both full-time residents and seasonal vacationers. The name Tahoma comes from combining "Tahoe" and "home. The name helps make all residents feel at home, whether they live in the community year-round or only part of the year. Speaking of homes, many in Tahoma look like Lincoln Log log cabins, varying in size and price. While all residents have panoramic views of Lake Tahoe from their homes, some have the added bonus of their backyards being the lake itself.

Luxuriously log cabin-styled homes sit on private lakefront lots
Tahoma residents experience mountainside and lakeside living simultaneously. They can wake up to the lulls of the water and take a deep breath of mountain air. A canopy of tall pine trees encompasses the community. The towering trees are everywhere, from alongside the steep mountain roads to in between houses, providing some privacy. Homes in Tahoma begin at around $450,000 for co-ownership opportunities, $650,000 for single-family homes of two bedrooms, $900,000 for four bedrooms and can reach over $4 million for five-bedroom houses.

While most homes take on a log cabin style— many with an exposed wood exterior feature — there are also A-frame styled residences and mountain estates, some with Tudor influences. Homes also feature piers straight out to the lake or rail lines so residents can easily load a boat in and out of Lake Tahoe.
