Welcome! It is a beautiful place to live and very conveniant for a sledder and any other outdoor recreationist. Still looks like winter around here and have plenty of snow to ride and a good winter means a good water season too! I'm sure it's similar to Truckee, we just dont have the influx of all the bay and sac valley people that you have. Truckee is a beautiful place! We worked in Glenbrook for about a year on a home and also enjoyed being tourists of the area during that time.
Like mentioned above, it is a great time to find a place to rent or buy here - values have dropped considerabley (I've seen anywhere from 25% to 50% compared to values from a year ago or two). Even though many are still asking for the higher prices, it's the short sales and foreclosures that are bringing the apraisals down.
