Lake Tahoe
By Cole Mizak, Top Lake Tahoe Real Estate Agent | Compass
If you're looking to own a slice of Tahoe paradise, lakefront condos in Incline Village are some of the most desirable properties on the market. As a long-time Incline Village realtor, I get asked all the time which complexes offer the best value, location, and lifestyle. Here's a breakdown of the top lakefront condo developments in Incline Village and what you need to know before making a move.
1. 999 Lakeshore
Pros:
One of the most exclusive addresses in all of Incline Village
Gated community with private beach access
Spacious layouts with high-end finishes
Walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the Hyatt
Cons:
Very limited inventory; units rarely come up for sale
Price points are at the very top of the market
Summary: If you want luxury, privacy, and unbeatable lakefront access, 999 Lakeshore is hard to beat. But be ready to act fast and pay a premium when a unit becomes available.
2. Crystal Shores East
Pros:
Direct lake access and private beach
Boat docks available
Close proximity to Incline amenities
Lower price per square foot compared to 999 Lakeshore
Cons:
Older construction (1960s), so some units may need updates
Smaller overall square footage in many units
Summary: Crystal Shores East offers true lakefront living with great value. Ideal for buyers looking for location and lake access without breaking the bank.
3. Crystal Shores West
Pros:
Private marina and boat slips
Beautiful common areas and mature landscaping
Strong rental potential
Cons:
HOA fees can be on the higher side
Like Crystal Shores East, some units may require cosmetic updates
Summary: A great mix of amenities and access for boaters and water lovers. Crystal Shores West is perfect for buyers looking for functionality and investment potential.
4. Lakeshore Terrace
Pros:
Townhouse-style layouts with attached garages
Excellent lake views
Quiet and private setting
Cons:
Fewer amenities than some other complexes
Less walkability compared to 999 Lakeshore or Crystal Shores
Summary: Lakeshore Terrace is a great option for those wanting a more residential feel with direct lake views. It’s low-key, spacious, and well-maintained.
5. Crystal Bay Cove
Pros:
Luxury finishes and larger unit sizes
Stunning panoramic lake views
Private and tucked away from main roads
Cons:
Very limited number of units
Price points are in the higher tier
Summary: Crystal Bay Cove is where luxury meets tranquility. With only a handful of units, it’s a rare find for buyers seeking exclusivity and high-end finishes.
