On the northern edge of Incline Village, straddling the Nevada-California line, Crystal Bay carries the area’s old casino-town character with landmarks like the Crystal Bay Club and Cal Neva. It offers lakefront condos, cabins, and a handful of larger estates at a relative discount to Incline proper, with long-discussed redevelopment plans for the old Tahoe Biltmore site still working their way through the process. It’s the northern gateway to Incline Village, a short drive from the Village Center, and en route to Kings Beach and Tahoe City on the California side of the lake.
