Tahoe Keys – South Lake Tahoe

The Tahoe Keys is one of South Lake Tahoe’s most sought after neighborhoods.  This unique private marina community area consists of 1220 homes and 335 town-homes situated on 740-acres with eleven miles of inland waterways making it a prime location for those with a passion for boating.  The Tahoe Keys offers a marina, boat storage, boat rentals and supplies.  The marina is also home of the long time local favorite restaurant, The Fresh Ketch.

Many of the houses and condos are waterfront homes and come with private boat docks and the marina is also available for public launching.  The Tahoe Keys is also home to Tahoe’s most prestigious gated community, Lighthouse Shores.

The Tahoe Keys area can be accessed through the middle of town on Tahoe Keys Blvd and also 15th St off of Highway 89 while on your way to Camp Richardson. It is conveniently located with close proximity to grocery stores and is just a 5 minute drive to the California base lodge of Heavenly Ski Resort.

With wide streets and beautiful views of Lake Tahoe, sweeping meadows and Mt. Tallac, the Tahoe Keys is very pedestrian and bike friendly.  The Tahoe Keys Home Owners Association also provides a heated indoor and outdoor pool, spa, tennis courts, park, private beach and club house for their owner’s use. The gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe are unrestricted with underground public utilities.

The Tahoe Keys were built in the 1950s and 1960s when an estimated 5 million cubic yards of material were dredged from the marsh at the end of the Truckee River. The fingers of land were then created which gave the area 11 miles of backyard waterways.

The houses in the Keys, as it’s commonly referred to, rang in size and price.  Condos, to modest family home to lakefront mansions; it’s all available in the Tahoe Keys.
