Squaw Valley offers stunning beauty thanks to the meadows of Olympic Valley, a protected stretch of wetland and riparian environment, which is nestled between towering mountain peaks. It also is home to the world-class Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort. Palisades offers village amenities like restaurants and shopping.

Home buyers can find many types of homes here, mostly luxury condos to high-end homes. And some that are ski-in, ski-out. Prices tend toward the upper-luxury range.
