On June 24th, 2007 parts of the North Upper Truckee area were destroyed by the Angora Fire which burned over 2700 acres and 250 homes. Most of the destruction and loss of homes occurred in the North Upper Truckee 2 area and some homes in the North Upper Truckee 1 area were destroyed as well. Since the fire, many of the homes have been rebuilt resulting in quite a few streets that are filled with brand new custom homes. The median and average prices for this area range from $560,000 to $700,000.

Nearby recreation includes the Desolation Wilderness which provides some of the most stunning landscape and mountain trails to be found within 100 miles.

This pond is stocked with fish for kids only and in the winter provides an occasional opportunity to strap on the ice skates.
