When people search for Truckee homes for sale, communities like Martis Camp or Lahontan often get top billing. But what many buyers don’t realize is that Old Greenwood offers a comparable lifestyle—golf, spa, fitness, private club access—at a fraction of the cost.

Yes, you read that right. If you're looking for luxury without the $5M+ price tag, Old Greenwood is Truckee’s most underrated gem.


The Same Luxury Living—Without the Premium

As a Truckee realtor, I’ve walked clients through some of the most exclusive communities in the region. Old Greenwood consistently surprises buyers who want high-end finishes, five-star amenities, and access to world-class golf without overpaying for branding.

1. Resort-Level Amenities

Old Greenwood’s amenities go toe-to-toe with what you’ll find in Martis Camp:

  • Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course

  • Full-service spa

  • Fitness center and pools

  • Tennis courts and family-friendly programming

  • Private club access via the Tahoe Mountain Club

What’s the difference? At Old Greenwood, you get all this for a significantly lower buy-in and more flexible ownership options.

2. Elegant, Low-Maintenance Homes

Whether you're eyeing a custom home on the fairway or a fractional residence through the Tahoe Mountain Club, Old Greenwood properties are thoughtfully designed for both luxury and convenience.

Think mountain-modern interiors, open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and outdoor spaces made for entertaining—or just kicking back after a round of golf.

3. Access Without the Attitude

Old Greenwood gives you that private, club-style experience—but it feels relaxed, grounded, and welcoming. You won’t find the exclusivity complex you sometimes get in other gated communities. What you will find is a well-managed neighborhood with tight-knit vibes, top-tier amenities, and strong long-term value.


Market Insight: Truckee Homes for Sale in Old Greenwood

Old Greenwood homes range from:

  • Fractional ownership options starting in the low $100Ks, to

  • Full ownership luxury estates priced between $1.5M and $3M+—still well below what you’d pay in nearby ultra-luxury enclaves.

And with limited inventory and growing demand, values here continue to climb. That makes it a smart play for both primary and second-home buyers.
