Tahoe in 30

30 minutes to Lake Tahoe’s east shore, 20 minutes to ski Mount Rose and 15 minutes to major shopping – Galena Forest Estates is the quintessential “Basecamp Reno.” Adjacent to Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and across the street from Mount Rose Wilderness (via Galena Creek Regional Park) it is actually possible to hike to the Tahoe Rim Trail from your home! When proximity to Tahoe AND urban infrastructure & convenience are must-haves, this is the answer from the south end of Reno.

Galena homes range from older to new mostly custom builds on one-half to one-acre lots. The majority (but not all) are part of a homeowner’s association. Given the slightly higher elevation, this area receives a bit more snow than the valley but far less than Tahoe.

Galena Forest Estates homes for sale range in price from $630,000 – $2,100,000.

Access to Galena Forest Estates is from Nevada State Route 431, known locally as Mount Rose Highway. It’s an easy 15-minute drive to the intersection of Interstate 580, at which point (to the north) you’re within 20 minutes of Downtown Reno and the intersection of Interstate 80, and within 30 minutes of Carson City to the south.
