Nevada City Real Estate

Imagine living in a quiet Northern California Gold Rush town, a town thought by many to be the prettiest and best-preserved Gold Rush town in California's Mother Lode country. Welcome to picturesque Nevada City, affectionately known as the "Queen City of the Northern Mines." Built on the banks of Deer Creek in 1849, Nevada City's downtown district - more than 90 quaint brick storefronts and elegant Victorian homes - is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Drawn by Nevada City's relaxed lifestyle, an influx of artists, writers, musicians and retirees have discovered the area, as have high-tech companies and small businesses. And many have decided to stay and to invest in Nevada City real estate. The town's specialty shops, antique stores, award-winning restaurants, live theater and music, and history museums also make compelling reasons to live in Nevada City.

The air is clean, nearby lakes are blue, and the trees turn from deep green in the spring to brilliant shades of golds and reds in the fall. At nearly 2,700 feet elevation, summer temperatures reach into the 90s and during the winter, the occasional snowfall can reach depths of 1 to 3 feet.
