Glenbrook, Nevada · 89413 · Community guide
Glenbrook is an unincorporated community on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe’s East Shore, in Douglas County, about 16 miles from Carson City. A logging town in the 1860s and a lakeside resort for most of the 20th century, it is now a private, gated community with its own beach, bay and 9-hole golf course. This guide also covers the neighborhoods along Highway 50 to the south: Uppaway, Logan Creek & Cedarbrook, Pittman Terrace, Cave Rock, Lincoln Park, Hidden Woods, Snug Harbor, Lakeridge and Skyland. Since January 2023, 128 single-family homes have sold here for $700,000 to $54.25 million, at a median of $2.49 million.
Every figure comes from all 136 home and townhome sales since 2023: prices by year, budget and neighborhood, lake access, taxes and vacation-rental rules, schools and drive times. Sources are listed below.

Market data · Updated October 23, 2026
About 36 homes a year sell between Skyland and Glenbrook, and the lakefront moves the averages. 2026 has been the strongest year since 2023: 37 sales through October 23, against 30 in the same months of 2025, and $271 million in volume. Homes averaged $1,604 per square foot, the highest of any year, sold in a median of 75 days and closed at 94.5% of their original asking price, up from 89.9% a year earlier. The single-family median, $2,850,000, is below the same stretch of 2025 ($3,450,000) because half of this year’s home sales were in Cave Rock and Skyland, against about a third last year.
Townhomes are rare here: 8 sold since 2023, 5 of them in Glenbrook at $2,900,000 to $7,750,000 and the rest at the Cave Rock Villas for under $1 million.

Months of supply divides the listings for sale on the report date by the average monthly sales of the previous 12 months. Under about six months generally favors sellers. Days on market and list-price figures cover MLS sales only.

Average price per square foot is the mean of each sale’s price per square foot. “County records only” counts sales recorded by Douglas County that aren’t in the Northern Nevada Regional MLS. Townhomes are left out of this table; see the snapshot above. See Sources & methodology below.
16 homes have sold for $10 million or more since 2023, 9 of them in 2026. 1 Tall Pines Cove Lane sold for $54.25 million in September, and 1192 Highway 50 resold for $36.78 million in May, 13 months after it sold for $23 million. Only Zephyr Cove’s $80 million estate in December 2025 has topped them in Douglas County’s Lake Tahoe records since 2023.
Since 2023, the 42 MLS sales that closed within 60 days averaged 96.7% of their original list price. The 54 that took more than 120 days averaged 85.5%. At this end of the market, an overpriced listing can sit for a year or more.
The Tahoe Glen homes at Cave Rock Junction, built since 2020, account for 16 sales at $1,265,000 to $1,475,000: one of the few places on the East Shore to buy a new or nearly new home for under $1.5 million.
17 of the 136 sales since 2023 appear in Douglas County records but not in the Northern Nevada Regional MLS, among them a $41 million lakefront sale at 1186 Highway 50 in July 2025. Some trade privately; others may be listed only on the South Lake Tahoe MLS. Ask Cole about homes before they list.
The median home here was built in 1979, and only 74 of the 889 homes were built in 2010 or later. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency limits on land coverage make rebuilding slow and costly, which is why remodeled and rebuilt lakefront homes command such a premium.
43% of closings since 2023 happened between May and September. Buyers who shop in fall and winter often face less competition.
Price guide
Under $1.5 million, the choice is mostly Cave Rock. From $1.5 million to $5 million, buyers weigh Skyland’s beach, hillside views in Lakeridge and Cave Rock Estates, and homes inside Glenbrook. Above $10 million, it is about lakefront frontage: 16 sales of $10 million or more since 2023.

Uppaway, Logan Creek & Cedarbrook, Pittman Terrace, Lincoln Park, Hidden Woods and Snug Harbor have had fewer than six sales each since 2023, so their medians can swing with a single sale. Housing stock, year built and lots are from Douglas County Assessor records (homes only); Uppaway’s homes sit on small lots beside about 40 acres of shared common land. Elevations are USGS values for the parcels of homes sold or listed since 2023. Drive times run from the middle of each neighborhood without traffic.
Glenbrook has the only private beach, bay and golf course on this stretch of shore, behind a gate. Its 27 sales since 2023 have a median of $5.3 million, and homes sit on larger lots (median 0.76 acre). Uppaway is its small neighbor.
Skyland owners share a homeowners’ beach, and 28 homes sold there since 2023 at a median of $2.1 million, from $750K cabins to $15.05 million on the water. It is also about 11 minutes from Stateline, the closest neighborhood here.
Cave Rock has the most sales (37) and the lowest median ($1.4 million), with hillside view homes up to about 6,830 feet. Lakeridge’s hillside estates and Hidden Woods offer views and bigger lots nearby.
The top sales have come from the lakefront below Lakeridge, on Skyland Drive, at Shakespeare Point in Logan Creek & Cedarbrook, and at Snug Harbor, Pittman Terrace and Lincoln Park. Few trade in a given year, and several sell privately.
Lifestyle & location
This is the quietest stretch of Lake Tahoe’s Nevada shore. There are few shops between Glenbrook and Zephyr Cove, so daily errands mean a drive: Safeway at Round Hill is about 15 minutes from Glenbrook, and Carson City, over Spooner Summit, about 27. In return, owners get forest, granite coves and some of the clearest water on the lake. Douglas County provides the services; general improvement districts and HOAs handle water, roads and snow removal neighborhood by neighborhood, and Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District covers fire and emergency medical calls.

Distances follow driving routes from OpenStreetMap data, without traffic. Highway 50 over Spooner Summit climbs to about 7,150 feet, so allow extra time and carry chains in winter.
Settlers arrived in 1860, and Augustus Pray built Glenbrook’s first sawmill in 1861 to cut timber for the Comstock mines. Duane L. Bliss’s Carson and Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company later ran several mills here. When the Comstock faded, Bliss turned to tourism and opened the Glenbrook Inn and Ranch in 1906; the inn closed in the mid-1970s, and its Lake Shore House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The rock that gives Cave Rock its name is sacred to the Washoe Tribe. The U.S. Forest Service banned climbing there in 2003, and a federal appeals court upheld the ban in 2007. Highway 50 runs through it in two tunnels, the first bored in 1931 and the second in 1957, and the state park below has the East Shore’s main public boat launch.
Spooner Lake, about 9 minutes from Glenbrook, is the gateway to the Flume Trail and the Tahoe Rim Trail. Sand Harbor is about 20 minutes north, and the M.S. Dixie II sails from Zephyr Cove. Lakefront owners keep boats at their own piers and buoys, subject to TRPA rules.
Homes here sit between about 6,230 and 6,830 feet, and Heavenly’s Stagecoach Lodge is about half an hour from Glenbrook. Expect real snow and occasional chain controls; the hillside streets in Cave Rock Estates and Logan Creek see more of it than the lakeshore.
Glenbrook-area children attend the Douglas County School District’s Zephyr Cove Elementary and George Whittell High School, which also serves the middle grades, both on Warrior Way about 11 minutes from Glenbrook. Confirm school assignments and grade ranges for any address with the district.

Owning here means dealing with Douglas County for taxes, permits and rentals, a general improvement district or HOA for water, roads and snow removal, TRPA for building and piers, and Tahoe Douglas Fire for wildfire safety.
| Topic | The rule | Who sets it | What it means for buyers |
|---|---|---|---|
| State income tax | None. Nevada has no personal income tax on wages, retirement income or capital gains. | Nevada Constitution | The main draw for buyers coming from California. |
| Property tax | $2.86 to $3.59 per $100 of assessed value in 2025–26, depending on the district (table below). Assessed value is 35% of taxable value (land plus depreciated replacement cost), which usually sits well below market value. Annual bill increases are capped at 3% for a primary residence and up to 8% for other homes. | Nevada Dept. of Taxation; Douglas County Assessor; NRS 361.4723 | File the primary-residence claim with the Assessor, or the higher cap can apply. |
| Vacation rentals | Renting a home for short stays needs a Douglas County vacation home rental (VHR) permit under County Code Chapter 20.622. The Lake Tahoe Township is capped at 600 permits, and each neighborhood has a density limit. In Glenbrook the county allows member-to-member rentals only, and several neighborhoods issue no permits at all. | Douglas County VHR program | Don’t count on rental income here; check the neighborhood’s status and the CC&Rs first. STR guide. |
| Building & remodeling | The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) limits how much of each parcel can be covered by structures and paving, and regulates piers and buoys. Remodels and rebuilds also need Douglas County permits, and every parcel must have erosion-control best management practices (BMPs). | TRPA; Douglas County | Verify allowable coverage and any pier or buoy permits before you buy. |
| Wildfire & insurance | The East Shore sits in the wildland-urban interface. Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District inspects defensible space, and insurers increasingly price coverage on mitigation. | Tahoe Douglas Fire | Get insurance quotes early in escrow. |
| HOAs & GIDs | Glenbrook, Uppaway, Lakeridge and the Cave Rock townhomes have associations with dues and rules; Skyland, Lakeridge, Logan Creek and Cave Rock Estates also have their own general improvement districts. | Each association or district | Review the budget, reserves and CC&Rs for any HOA property. |
| District | Tax rate | Tax on $1 million of taxable value | Neighborhoods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tahoe Douglas Sewer District | $2.8611 | $10,014 | Glenbrook, Uppaway, Cedarbrook, Pittman Terrace, Cave Rock Village and Junction, Lincoln Park, Hidden Woods, Snug Harbor and lakefront Lakeridge |
| Lakeridge GID | $3.0215 | $10,575 | Lakeridge Estates |
| Skyland GID | $3.1209 | $10,923 | Skyland |
| Cave Rock Estates GID | $3.2717 | $11,451 | Cave Rock Estates |
| Logan Creek GID | $3.5897 | $12,564 | Logan Creek Estates |
Rates from the Nevada Department of Taxation’s FY 2025–26 Red Book, the latest posted on Oct. 23, 2026; each includes the state, Douglas County, school district, Tahoe Douglas Fire and district levies. For comparison, Incline Village’s 2026–27 rate is $3.5211. The tax on $1 million of taxable value is before the 3% or 8% cap, which usually lowers the actual bill.

Buyer & seller questions
Glenbrook is on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe in Douglas County, Nevada, on U.S. Highway 50 just below Spooner Summit, about 16 miles from Carson City and 10 miles from the Stateline casinos. Its ZIP code is 89413. It is unincorporated; Douglas County governs it, and the gated Glenbrook community has its own private beach, bay and golf course.
Yes. Glenbrook is a private, gated community, and its beach and bay are for residents and renters only; there is no public access. The 9-hole golf course, which opened in 1926, is private as well. Neighboring areas such as Skyland, Lakeridge and Cave Rock are not part of Glenbrook and have their own associations or districts.
Across Glenbrook and the neighborhoods from Skyland north, single-family homes sold for a median of $2,850,000 from January 1 to October 23, 2026 (36 sales), averaging $1,604 per square foot. In Glenbrook and Lands End, homes since 2023 have a median of $5,300,000; in Cave Rock, $1,400,000.
Close to balanced. On October 23, 2026, 20 homes were for sale, about 5.3 months of supply, and 3 more were under contract. Homes priced right at launch sold within about two months at 97% of their asking price on average; those that sat more than four months sold for about 85%.
From north to south along Highway 50: Glenbrook, Uppaway, Logan Creek & Cedarbrook (including Shakespeare Point), Pittman Terrace, Cave Rock, Lincoln Park, Hidden Woods, Snug Harbor, Lakeridge and Skyland. Zephyr Cove begins just south of Skyland. Read the Zephyr Cove guide.
1 Tall Pines Cove Lane, on the lakefront below Lakeridge, sold for $54,250,000 in September 2026. 1186 Highway 50 sold for $41,000,000 in July 2025 (Douglas County records; it never appeared in the MLS), and 1806 Highway 50 at Shakespeare Point for $37,500,000 in June 2025. Zephyr Cove’s $80 million estate sale in December 2025 is the only higher home sale in Douglas County’s Lake Tahoe records since 2023.
No. Glenbrook’s beach and bay are private. Nearby public options include the Cave Rock boat launch and small beach (Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park), Zephyr Cove Resort to the south and Sand Harbor to the north. Skyland’s beach is for Skyland owners.
Nevada has no state income tax. 2025–26 property tax rates here run from $2.86 to $3.59 per $100 of assessed value, depending on the district, and assessed value is 35% of the county’s taxable value, usually well below market value. Annual increases are capped at 3% for a primary residence and up to 8% for other homes.
Often not. Douglas County’s map limits Glenbrook’s neighborhoods to member-to-member rentals, and Uppaway, Logan Creek, Shakespeare Point, Cave Rock Cove (Pittman Terrace) and the Lakeridge HOA issue no permits. In October 2026, Cave Rock Estates, Lincoln Park, Lakeridge and Skyland still had room under their limits. Read the Lake Tahoe short-term rental guide.
Zephyr Cove Elementary and George Whittell High School, which also teaches the middle grades, both in the Douglas County School District and about 11 minutes from Glenbrook. Confirm school assignments for a specific address with the district.
Carson City is about 16 miles over Spooner Summit, roughly 27 minutes. The Stateline casinos are about 19 minutes south, Incline Village about 27 minutes north, and Reno-Tahoe International Airport about 46 miles, roughly an hour.
Settlers arrived in 1860, and Augustus Pray built a sawmill in 1861 to supply the Comstock mines. Duane L. Bliss’s Carson and Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Company made Glenbrook a lumber town, then Bliss opened the Glenbrook Inn and Ranch as a resort in 1906. The inn closed in the mid-1970s, and Glenbrook became the private community it is today.
Both are unincorporated Nevada lake communities with no state income tax. Glenbrook is in Douglas County, much smaller and gated, with a private beach and golf course instead of IVGID’s shared beaches and recreation. Property tax rates are lower (Incline Village’s is $3.5211), and Douglas County restricts vacation rentals while Washoe County does not. Compare the Incline Village guide.
Yes. Homes here sit between about 6,230 and 6,830 feet, and Spooner Summit, the route to Carson City, tops 7,000 feet. Plan for snow removal, all-wheel drive and occasional chain controls on Highway 50.
Demand is strong: 37 sales through October 23, against 30 in the same period of 2025, and homes closed at 94.5% of their original asking price on average, up from 89.9%. With about 5.3 months of supply, the launch price still matters. Request a free home valuation from Cole.

Sources & methodology
Cole Mizak compiled this guide from primary sources and updates it as the market moves. Market figures are as of October 23, 2026.
Definitions: median days on market is the middle value of each MLS sale’s cumulative days on market. Sold / original list compares the sale price with the first asking price. Months of supply divides listings for sale by the average monthly sales of the previous 12 months. Medians can move with the mix of homes that sell, especially in small neighborhoods. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
