When searching for a home to buy in Lake Tahoe, several factors play a role. Size, price and a large fenced yard aren’t the only features people think of when searching for a home. Location and the amenities close to these locations are huge factors people keep in mind before they even start searching. Schools, specifically, are a main priority for home buyers. Let’s take a look at the numbers.

23.6% of buyers would pay over 1%-5% of their original budget. 20.7% of buyers would pay over 6%-10% of their original budget and 9% would go over 11%-20% of their original max price just to ensure that their children would get into the school district of their choice.

Now let’s take a look at what people would be willing to give up just so their children would be able to get into a specific school district. 42% would forgo nearby parks and trails, which luckily doesn’t apply to those of us living Lake Tahoe because we are surrounded by those. 44% would give up a bonus room while 62.4% would give up a pool or spa if it meant their kids went to a certain school. 50.6% would even give up accessibility to shopping. Which, once again doesn’t apply as Lake Tahoe is a smaller, world class destination that has businesses conveniently located throughout town.

Thankfully, Tahoe Keys is a neighborhood that is situated within minutes to all the great amenities South Lake Tahoe has to offer. Schools included! Two fabulous elementary schools-Sierra House Elementary and Tahoe Valley Elementary are nearby, as well as the high school and middle school. Each one of these schools can be accessed in 10 minutes or less. The best part, you don’t have to give up any thing! Living in the Tahoe Keys provides access to a homeowner’s club house, pool, private beach, lake and mountain views and so much more!
