The Bijou neighborhood is divided into two areas known as Bijou 1 & Bijou 2. Bijou 1 is centrally located in the middle of town and makes up the neighborhood surrounding Ski Run. This gives residents easy access to Heavenly, Ski Run Marina amenities, local businesses, the summer farmers market, and more. Bijou 2 is a little pocket neighborhood tucked just behind HWY 50 along Johnson Blvd & Rufus Allen. Not only do you get to enjoy the amenities of Bijou 1, the Bijou Golf Course, and quick lake access within walking distance, but you can also walk to the middle school, recreational center, ball fields, library, and more.
