About this city
Also known as: The Income Haven of Tahoe
Commanding an unparalleled, world-class alpine location on the rocky northeastern shores of the crystal-clear Lake Tahoe, Incline Village is an affluent resort community nestled high within Washoe County. Incorporated in the mid-20th century and geologically blessed with the Sierra Nevada's legendary pine ridges, the planned village owes its unique name to the historic 19th-century Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company's incline tramway, which famously hauled massive timber over the mountain peaks to fuel the Comstock Lode silver boom. Today, the village operates as a premier global haven for luxury residential real estate, fine dining, and elite four-season sports recreation. The striking sub-alpine landscape features deep emerald waters, towering ponderosa pine forests, elite seaside golf courses, and instant access to premier volcanic ski terrain.
