Nevada City
October 28, 2008
Nevada City Real Estate has been in demand since the mid 1800’s, when the owners and managers of the many gold mines in the area were building their homes. Downtown Nevada City is itself designated as a historic monument and, looking up its main artery, Broad Street, visitors delight in seeing the lovingly restored homes and commericial buildings.
You won’t find fast food restaurants here, nor will you find a hardware store or supermarket chain. For those, residents choose to travel the two-three miles to Grass Valley and its larger shopping centers.
Ranging out from Nevada City’s charming downtown, those searching for Nevada City real estate find a number of choices. Climbing up Banner Mountain or Highway 20 past the snowline, many homes resemble mountain chalets, on lots dotted with pines and firs.
Closer to town, a comfortable mix of old and new somehow works to keep this historic town one of the friendliest you’ll find anywhere.
Take another direction, and Nevada City real estate becomes largely multi-acre lots, traveling along North Bloomfield or Lake Vera Roads toward the summertime joys of the Yuba, or along Highway 49 and its many beaches and swimming holes, toward North San Juan.
Those interested in Nevada City real estate often cite the accessibility of the area’s rich musical life, professional theatre, many book stores and galleries as the reason for their quality of life. Others find the proximity of lakes and rivers for paddling, trails for hiking and mountain biking, and concern for the environment reason to settle here.
Whatever the reason, Nevada City, with its quaint storybook downtown, its parades and festive nighttime events in summer and winter, and its historic traditions, is a place like no other. Owning Nevada City real estate is like owning a piece of California history.
