In this video, I'll be listing some of the pros and cons of living in Lake Tahoe. In 2020, I published a video called Living in Lake Tahoe: Pros and Cons. But after living in South Lake Tahoe for a little longer, I wanted to make an updated version. I hope this video is helpful to anyone who is thinking about moving to Lake Tahoe and wants an inside perspective.
The views expressed in this video are subjective and based on my own personal experience.

You should add some of the headaches associated with living there in the winter; how to be stocked & prepared for road closures, vehicle necessities, being prepared for snow shoveling or blowing depending in where your living, ensuring pipes dont freeze, etc..

South lake Tahoe is what I consider my heaven on earth! I was so upset the fire burrned my beautiful scenic route to South Lake but so thankful it wasn't as bad as it could have been! My husband of 26 years is an arborist/ tree climber and right after the fire hit the summit on hwy 50 he was dangling on the edge falling what was left of the trees! I got videos sent by him daily saying how sad everything looked up there, all the cabins burned and of course I was worried for his safety! Anyways..

As a former local to Lake Tahoe of 12 years.. I loved living there. Great job , home and all around great active lifestyle. Most of the work was outdoors in the spring and summer.. then transition to working inside in the late fall and winter months. Recommend staying away from the gambling in the casinos. The shows and food were about it for me.. The summer concert jam behind Harvey's Casino was very cool.. Of course the lake and all the great fishing, camping was very nice. Tourist please respect the nature and " KEEP TAHOE BLUE "😊🌏 Thank you for the video and LED ZEPPELIN ROCKS!!😉

Love Lake Tahoe. I find the shoreline very similar to the shoreline around Lake Huron and Lake Superior. The Midwest doesn't have the big mountains of Tahoe but it does have humidity and way lower prices. Look up Wetmore Landing in Marquette, Lion's Head in Ontario, Lake Superior Provincial Park, and Pictured Rocks. Hundreds of miles of beautiful rocky shoreline with turquoise water that rivals Tahoe - without the pollution, crowds, and wildfires.

Good luck with your photography freelancing! I’m a FT photojournalist but my focus professionally is aerospace, flying shoots with jets planes helicopters & covering rocket launches for various news media & publishers. My grandparents retired to Donner & Truckee so I explored the area a lot growing up, & have always wanted to move there. But the 2 major reasons I haven’t are lack of affordable places to rent & honestly, as a single guy in his 30s who wants to settle down, I feel if I moved there I wouldn’t meet anyone single to settle down with & build a life, bcuz a lot of ppl there are already settled married etc with retirement savings and investment / real estate $ to live off of & build from, not to mention a lot of ppl there are older too. Am I wrong? Great video thanks. I shot you a follow on Instagram as well!

@GabriellaViola 2 года назад

One of my biggest pros is, That you can move back and forth between CA and NV. Most/All of CA NV border is straight desert or mountains. This is a big Pro for Bettors like me because we cannot place wagers on Sporting Events in California. Also there is good fishing and boating opportunities. I love Lake Tahoe, I am from the Bay Area and i visited the Ocean in the Sky in June. Best vacation ever. l want to move to South Lake but I get nervous because Tourist Towns are Highly succeptable to Economic Downturn. I love your videos and cannot wait to see more.

Great video, Gabriella. I was born and raised in L.A. and have been visiting Lake Tahoe (in the summer and winter) since I was a kid. It is one of my favorite places on Earth. I am hoping to retire there or move there before retirement since I can work remotely. It was nice to see your pros and cons basically confirm my thoughts of the place. I would add one pro is that it is only a 3 1/2 hour drive to S.F. if you need a dose of big city culture or food. My only concern is if it is my permanent residence someday, being a SoCal guy, will I be able to hack the snowy winters?! I think/hope so...

@GabriellaViola 2 года назад

Feels as if i moved away from my home town and into a city more and more by the day. (Thats not why I live here) The Beautiful, Fun and loving place Tahoe was is ceasing to exist.

Lake Tahoe is probably or if not one of the most beautiful lake of the world but one major con of lake tahoe is it gets crowded in the summer time and it's understandable because tourists love it here but the problem is, it's hard to find parking especially in the Nevada east side of lake tahoe and you can't just slow down to find an open parking on the side of the road because the cars behind you be tailing you and that's how road rage start

This was a crazy fire year. Not normal. California has always random fires so the haze comes and goes, but the last big fire near Tahoe was Angora in 2007. But it was nothing compared to the Caldor fire. Also, they don't use fire stoppage methods they did 10 plus years ago, otherwise Caldor would have been stopped WAAAAAYYY sooner.

Expect lines at Tahoe. Everywhere. Twain wasn't wrong when describing this place as the jewel of the world. If you think you are the only one who knows... no. It is as crowded as an opening at Disneyland. South shore, North shore, Kings Beach, Incline Village, and everything around... Emerald Bay included. Tahoe is a jewel, about which every tourist knows already. But what do you know about jobs? 200% of the national price is paid for service workers. Did you know that? The place is so crowded that they don't just have lines to the register... you have to stand in line to move down a grocery aisle. How do people not know this?

So odd to read this comment. All of my family members and I had excellent experiences when we relocated permanently after visiting for decades. My kids found very welcoming atmospheres at the local schools (north shore Tahoe City area) as did I and the other adults in dealing with the community segments we chose to explore. I think much has to do with one’s own attitude and openness when arriving at a new location. And of course every community has resident local crumiguns suspicious and unfriendly to anyone unfamiliar no matter how friendly! Overall we found Tahoe to be the one of the most welcoming, unpretentious areas we have become a part of and we love being here!

One con you missed is that lake tahoe is definitely for the tourist. If you live here and you need to buy something, you go somewhere else. Carson and Reno are the nearest places

I have lived on the west shore for 20 years, haven't once gone to Nevada for goods. Get up early to go shopping and stay away from town Friday thru Sunday and holidays.

If I live with you in Tahoe, there would be no cons.

If, Lake Tahoe doesn't have tourists, it would not survive and you would not be able to live there. Lake Tahoe depends on tourism. Period.

@keithiverson2644 Год назад

Lake Tahoe depends on tourism because all other industries have been banned from the area. Which is why living costs have been on the rise.

@badgumby9544 Год назад

Lived there in the mid 70's. It ain't nothing like it used to be. People and Government have ruined it.

We lived there and it's not just expensive but the crappiest houses. You are used to expensive. It's a rip off and ay ground for the rich

Amen 🙏 I'm 55 years old and have seen the place evolve over the years. And you are absolutely correct. It's been hijacked and pilfered by the top 10% of wealth in this country. That seldom includes a lot of foreign investment, which, by the way, could care less about preservation. People say I'm nuts when I mention these facts and ask for proof to back up my statements. Well, how about the privatization of some of the best beaches for starters. Or the fact that most of those middle-class folks who are providing services as a means of employment don't live there. I'm old enough to remember a time when Tahoe wasn't so commercial, and there was a real legitimate family community .and there wasn't any iron fencing at the Stateline beach because the motels didn't own it. Nowadays, those crappy poorly built houses you're talking about near Reagan and El Dorado Beach get bought for well over asking by rich folks who tare down the existing and build brand new luxury getaways. And because of this taho has become a place where you can't relax. Don't park your car and hang out too long or you might get a revenue ticket. Over exploited, and a general lack of hospitality is what you'll experience these days. I still enjoy visiting, but only for a few hours. The place was a much better experience back in the 70s and 80's.
