Community - California - Homewood

A magical place to live. . . Picture clear, dazzling blue water surrounded by majestic mountains. On the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, in Placer County lies a quiet place...natural perfection.

The Lifestyle: If you settle in this small, unincorporated prime area rich in nature coupled with nearby civilization--you won't be alone. In fact, in the humble opinion of many West Shore residents, Homewood is one of the prime areas in all of Lake Tahoe.

Neighborhood Features: You can't miss charming Obexer's Market where locals gather for morning coffee. Nearby is Tahoma, a small community that has a big heart enjoyed by its locals.

Hot Spot: You can spoil yourself by living in close proximity to Homewood's Ski Area and marina, the new-in-summer 2003 West Shore Cafe/Boutique Hotel, and Homewood Hardware.

Best Homes: Just to the north is Fleur de Lac, 22 elegant town homes built on the old Henry J. Kaiser estate touted for scenes filmed for The Godfather, Part II. Homewood and Tahoma feature modest to luxury lakefront homes and charming woodsy cabins bordering natural hiking trails.
