You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

South Lake Tahoe neighborhood luxury home values: The Tahoe Keys prices 12.4% lower this year than last year, and 53.9% off The Tahoe Keys market high of 2005.
We though it would be interesting to track South Lake Tahoe, CA neighborhood home values over time with this visual. As the chart above indicates, here are the median sold prices for The Tahoe Keys neighborhood since 2003.
The Tahoe Keys Housing Values : Home values this year to date are 12.4% lower ($84,000 off) than they were for all of 2010. Even better news for home buyers who might be thinking in taking advantage of better prices, and historic low interest rates: The Tahoe Keys home values are $538,500, or 53.9% lower than they were at the market high for The Tahoe Keys neighborhood in 2005.
Compared to the median sold price of all South Lake Tahoe, CA home sales this year, The Tahoe Keys median sold price is $314,000 higher, or 113.2% above the current 2011 median sold price of South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods combined ($277,500). This difference makes sense when comparing a luxury home neighborhood to the median sold price of all South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods combined.
The Tahoe Keys Housing Demand :
The chart above indicates housing demand, or the number of homes sold in The Tahoe Keys by year since 2003. Note that as of today there are 31.5% of Tahoe Keys sold this year as there were for all of last year. What this indicates is 2011 Tahoe Keys housing demand will likely be similar, if not slightly less than that of 2010.
What we think is encouraging about overall South Lake Tahoe, CA 2010 demand is it was higher than any other year since the market high in 2005.

The Tahoe Keys is one of Lake Tahoe's most desired and coveted neighborhoods. Singularly unique from all other Lake Tahoe areas,the Tahoe Keys is the only South Lake Tahoe neighborhood with direct access to the lake by boat.
With a little less than 1,000 homes, The Tahoe Keys is located in a 740-acre private marina community interwoven with 11 miles of inland waterways. Featuring lake front homes, resplendent canals, back-yard docks, a tranquil lagoon, and easy boat access to the Lake, the Tahoe Keys is an ideal neighborhood to enjoy the wonder that is the Lake Tahoe lifestyle.
The Keys is situated amid breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains of the Tahoe Basin. Snow capped mountain peaks, stunning sunsets, this is a setting for all Lake Tahoe seasons.
Home Value ranges from those without boat docks in the high $400K’s, and there aren't many of these, to high-end lake front estates in the multiple millions. Tahoe Keys homes priced in the $5's and $6's can sell quickly. In the inventory mix will be older homes w good remodel opportunities, distressed properties, and recent remodels and newer homes to choose.
Many Keys homes offer vacation rental opportunities, with a few well-planned homes doing up to $100,000 a year or more in annual rental income, though that is certainly not the norm. If vacation rental income is important to you, think of it as a welcome contribution to a monthly mortgage, but certainly not all of it.
In the Tahoe Keys, One will find lake front estates, homes on large lots w quick lake access, back yard docks in all shapes and sizes, homes on open meadows, and other sections of the keys with no direct lake access.
Attended by a progressive home owners association, this private community comes with many attractive amenities: an indoor and an outdoor pool, lush, relaxing park areas, a basketball court, volleyball court, seven tennis courts, a safe, fun-filled children's playground, a private beach and an inspiring sunset pier.
The Tahoe Keys is minutes away from easy vacation shopping, South Lake Tahoe dining, and with it's in-town location, the Keys is also minutes from Lake Tahoe's famed year around entertainment and nightlife attractions.
Located within the Keys, and central to it, is the Tahoe Keys Marina. It is open year-round, and offers full boat services, charter and fishing tours, a top-notch, fun, gourmet restaurant and a full program of training and instruction for most all Lake Tahoe water sports and recreation activities.
Jet skis, power boats, pontoon boats, sail boats, competition wake board, wave runners, paddle boards and kayaks can be rented here. Boat slips are available for in the Marina for public rental, or for homes that do not have a dedicated dock, of which there are far fewer that those that do.
