Best neighborhoods in Truckee

First post here. My family moved here when I was a kid. The median home value here is around $884,000, which is pretty steep. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Any advice would be great. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a writer who relocated here from LA about 13 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good airport with direct flights
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
