Lode, where the state's largest gold dredge remains. For nearly two centuries, the foothills of Yuba County, hiking, camping, boating and fishing have been a way of life here. And it's only getting better. At the southern edge of Yuba County sits the town of Plumas Lake, where Lennar Homes has introduced the community of Wind- sor Crossing within the River Oaks North master plan. "There's a quiet, small-town feel in Plumas Lake," says Michelle Velky, division president of Lennar Sacramento, which is building several new- home neighborhoods in carefully selected communities near and beyond Sacramento. "People are relocating here and finding great value for new construc- tion along with easy commutes to downtown Natomas, Sacramento, Rocklin and Lincoln," she says. Plumas Lake's loca- tion about 8 miles south of the county seat of Marysville puts it in peaceful surround- ings just minutes from Yuba County's planned expanded community services. New retail, hospitality and food services along with infra- structure improvements contribute to the area's economic growth and promise, according to Yuba County government plans.

Photo courtesy of Lennar Tranquil and on the Feather River, Plumas Lake is attracting homebuyers who crave appealing new homes in an area that satisfies their desire for a natural setting, space and the ability to work from home. Also coming are new schools and the expan- sion and beautification of a community park. Scheduled to begin in 2024, the new Friendship Park is funded in part by a $3.7 million investment from California's Urban Greening Program and includes trails; sports fields and courts; play- grounds; shade pavilions; and a landscape preser- vation area. Velky explains that at Windsor Crossing, new homeowners can take part in a self-contained community with one- and two-story homes on large lots. Just a few miles away, residents can enjoy highly rated public and private golf courses, an Audubon Park, river recreation and a lineup of headliners at the new Toyota Amphitheatre. Residents of Plumas Lake and other nearby communities delight in a relaxed way of life that's only an hour or two from the snow sports of the mountains, the waves of the ocean or even the splendor of Lake Tahoe. Rise up to Nevada's small-town capital On the eastern side of Lake Tahoe, and at approximately the same elevation as the lake, the quaintness of Carson City, Nevada, is gain- ing quiet notoriety as a sought-after hometown. Apart from new building in several larger Nevada cities — and even apart from the fact that Nevada has no income tax — Carson City is drawing everyone from first-time homebuyers to baby boomers and Gen Xers who see it as a welcome escape. "We do have some second-home buyers, but I'm surprised we haven't had more," says Kristen Williams, sales manager for Little Lane, a new-home community from Bates Homes that's less than a mile's walk from historic downtown Carson City. "Here, we have all four seasons with Lake Tahoe also only half an hour away," says Williams, who also happens to be the owner of one of the first lots released at Little Lane. "You feel like you're taking a vacation, but you don't have to drive over any of the grades to get to Lake Tahoe." S2 BAY AREA NEWS GROUP 001 Advertising Section SUNDAY, JUNE 25, 2023
