Attention Home Buyers: Making South Lake Tahoe Even More Attractive (pt 7)

New Developments at The Y

(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / September 21, 2011 / Richard Bolen)

This is all good news for South Lake Tahoe home buyers. Home prices have not been this affordable in a decade, and mortgage interest rates have never been this low.

In addition to these very real home buyer advantages, there are a host of additional South Lake Tahoe positives that make our community even more attractive, and our housing climate even better.  These positives include improvements in our infrastructure and private investments in local businesses. All together, what this means is a tremendous amount of very smart money is being put into South Lake Tahoe right now.

This is a part-seven in a 9-part series to help South Lake Tahoe home buyers better understand the ongoing investment into our resort community, and how these infusions make for an even better reason to buy here.

A Gas Station, Convenience Store and a Car Wash

Sometimes an old building sits vacant too long. One of those eventually became a bit of an eyesore at the intersection of Emerald Bay Road and Lake Tahoe Boulevard. This is the "Y" and that old building is no longer.

In its place is soon to be a new gas station, convenience store and a car wash. All are welcomed in this important South Lake Tahoe, CA connective point.

The gas station is a Raley's Aisle 1 Fuel Station, which will include 12 fueling stations. This will be the 12th gas station for the Raley's grocery store chain, which has dozens of locations throughout Northern California and Northern Nevada. Aisle 1 locations offer discounts on gas fwith the purchase of at least $50 worth of eligible groceries at a Raley's-owned grocery store.

The closest South Lake Tahoe, CA residential neighborhoods to this new development are the Y Area, Gardner Mountain and Tahoe Island Drive.
