Carnelian Bay is a community on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, between Tahoe Vista and Tahoe City. It offers beautiful lakefront and lake-view properties in pine forested neighborhoods. Classic wooden boats are often seen in this area of Lake Tahoe, and each summer the Concours d’Elegance classic wooden boat show is hosted in Carnelian Bay. Within the Carnelian Bay area is the Agate Bay community which is a very comfortable neighborhood with moderate to high-priced homes in wooded settings. Homes in this area have excellent rental histories due to the Sun Club pier and pool, and two tennis court locations. Lakefront homes in this area are close to the highway with easy access. Carnelian Heights is another nice, secluded area with a high percentage of permanent residents. The homes in this area have very wooded settings and they are a mix or older and newer homes. Ridgewood Highlands is a community that is also very woodsy like Carnelian Heights, but the roads are a bit steeper and narrower than Carnelian Heights. The winter access can be a bit more difficult because of the roads, but this is offset by the advantage of an association pier. Lake view and lake front homes sometimes become available in this community.
