Located approximately 6 miles northeast of downtown Truckee, Glenshire is a peaceful and secluded community that many locals call home. Nestled among alpine peaks and surrounding a tiny lake, where you’ll often find ice skaters in winter, this friendly neighborhood of fewer than 1500 homes is truly welcoming. Offering a family friendly mountain environment, with quiet streets and a lower snow load than elsewhere in Truckee, where kids play outdoors year round, and bike about the neighborhood’s gentle terrain.

The public lands surrounding Glenshire offer endless recreation opportunities: mountain biking and hiking in summer, and cross country skiing in winter, plus easy access to Boca Reservoir and Stampede Reservoir for fishing, camping, boating, and waterskiing.

Glenshire Elementary School is in the heart of this neighborhood. It’s a great K through 5 public school with good parental involvement and nice facilities. Homes start in the mid $400,000s and go upward into the $1,000,000 plus range.

The Glenshire Resident’s Association maintains a pool that’s very popular with the residents in the warm summer months, a clubhouse, and tennis courts. There’s also a general store, movie rentals, and day care center. Residents love Glenshire because, although it’s just a quick drive into town, and also a quick drive to Reno via Interstate 80, when they’re home, they can simply experience the quiet solitude of the majestic Sierras that surround their neighborhood.
