The Woods is in central Incline Village, Nevada 89451, on the rise north of Tahoe Boulevard (State Route 28). It runs from the Mt. Rose Highway on the west to Village Boulevard and Incline High School on the east, and up to College Drive. It is recorded as three subdivisions, Winding Wood, Wood Creek and Edgewood Park, and its streets include Winding Way, Kelly Drive, McCourry Boulevard, McDonald Drive, Lucille Drive, Donna Drive, Jensen Circle, O’Neil Way, Carano Court, North and South Dyer Circle, Betty Lane, Pat Court, Gary Court and Lynda Court.

In 2026 (through October 14), 9 homes sold at a median of $2,075,000. 18 of the 43 sales since 2023 were under $2 million, most of them original 1960s and 1970s homes.

For well-priced homes, yes. Since 2023, the 20 homes that sold within 60 days closed at an average of 96.7% of their original list price. In 2026, 9 homes closed through October 14, 2026, with a median of 49 days on market, and only 4 homes were listed on that date.

Washoe County records show 316 single-family homes and 14 vacant lots in The Woods: 312 homes in the Winding Wood, Wood Creek and Edgewood Park subdivisions plus four adjoining homes on Donna Drive and McCourry Boulevard. The median lot is 0.44 acre, and more than eight in ten are 0.4 to 0.5 acre. Roughly 11 homes sell through the MLS each year, about 4% of the neighborhood.

Incline High School borders The Woods on the east, along Village Boulevard. Incline Elementary is about 0.7 mile, a 15-minute walk from the middle of the neighborhood, and Incline Middle School is about 1.3 miles away. All three are Washoe County School District public schools. The private Lake Tahoe School (PreK–8) is about 1.6 miles away. Confirm school assignments for any address with the district.

Burnt Cedar Beach is about 1.6 miles, a 5- to 6-minute drive, from the middle of The Woods, and Ski Beach and Incline Beach are about 1.7 to 1.9 miles. All three are IVGID restricted-access beaches, and access depends on the parcel: parcels that pay IVGID’s Beach Facility Fee receive Picture Passes or Punch Cards. Verify a specific home’s beach eligibility with IVGID before you buy.

Many buyers choose The Woods to update or build. The lots are large and gently sloped, and only 11 of the 316 homes were built in 2010 or later, according to county records. Land is a large share of the price: a vacant lot on Carano Court sold for $850,000 in February 2025. Before you buy, verify the parcel’s TRPA land coverage and get a builder’s estimate, since those two numbers decide whether a remodel or a rebuild makes sense.

Some do. A number of Woods homes have filtered or partial views of Lake Tahoe through the pines, but views vary from house to house and many homes have none, so judge each one in person.

They are neighbors across Tahoe Boulevard. Lakeview runs down to Lakeshore Boulevard and Burnt Cedar Beach; The Woods sits on the rise to the north, closer to the schools and the Mt. Rose Highway. Since 2023, The Woods’ median sale price was $2,100,000 (average $868 per sq. ft.), against $4,161,250 ($1,305) in Lakeview, on similar lots: a 0.44-acre median in The Woods and 0.43 acre in Lakeview.

Nevada has no state income tax. Washoe County property taxes are based on assessed value, and annual tax-bill increases are capped at 3% for a primary residence and at up to 8% for other homes. IVGID’s 2026–27 recreation and beach fees add $1,530 a year to the tax bill.

The Woods is not a master-planned HOA community, and most homes have no association dues. Check the preliminary title report and seller disclosures for any recorded CC&Rs on a specific property.

Yes, with a Washoe County short-term rental permit for stays of 28 days or less, subject to any HOA rules. Permits set occupancy limits by tier, and a new owner should plan to apply for their own permit. Read the Lake Tahoe short-term rental guide.

Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 33 miles away, roughly 50 to 60 minutes via the Mt. Rose Highway, which runs along The Woods’ west side. Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe is about 10.6 miles (about 20 minutes), and Diamond Peak is about 2.6 miles (8 minutes) by car.

Supply is tight. Only 4 homes were listed on October 14, 2026, and The Woods’ average price per square foot rose to $904 in 2026 from $807 in 2025. Homes priced correctly at launch sold within about two months at close to full asking price, while overpriced homes sat. Request a free home valuation from Cole.
