About South Lake Tahoe's Al Tahoe

Al Tahoe is one of South Lake Tahoes Oldest and most historic neighborhoods. Al Tahoe is also one of South Lake Tahoes most diverse neighborhoods. Houses in Al Tahoe range from small original cabins built in the early 1900's, to multi-million dollar lake front homes. There are also duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings scattered throughout the area.

Al Tahoe is located in the center of South Lake Tahoe between Regan City Beach and Highway 50. Regan Beach is just a short walk from many of the Al Tahoe homes. Other Lake Tahoe Activities close to the Al Tahoe area include Heavenly Valley Ski Resort, the Casinos, and the El Dorado Beach Recreation Area/boat ramp.

Most of the houses in the Al Tahoe area are built on 5,000 square foot lots, but there are some homes on double lots. Lakeview Ave. is on the north edge of Al Tahoe and paralells the Lake. Lakeview Ave is where the lakefront and lakeview homes are located. Bellevue Ave and El Dorado Ave boarder the south and west side of Al Tahoe, and overlook the Truckee Marsh Meadow and Trout Creek. Many of the houses overlooking the meadow have great mountain and meadow views. The majority of the houses in Al Tahoe are not on the lake or the meadow, and most likely back to another house or property.
