School planning
Check schools for your address
Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

Compare each school’s programs and published results for the same reporting year. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; contact charter, magnet and private schools about their application and enrollment requirements.
CRIME DATA
Review reported crime for the area
Where to start
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
Understand what the reports cover
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Living In

Families are served by the Washoe County School District — Incline Elementary, Incline Middle, and Incline High — all within Incline Village.
What is Uppaway Estates known for?

Who should live in Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates fits ultra-high-net-worth buyers who want a gated lakefront trophy estate with private pier access, California tax relocators at the high end seeking a Nevada address for zero state income and capital-gains tax savings, and multigenerational families building a Lake Tahoe legacy property. With only about 29 homes and a $5M–$40M+ range, Uppaway is for buyers who value irreplaceable scarcity, privacy, and heritage over a production-neighborhood price point.
What is daily life like in Uppaway Estates?

Quick Answer
Is Uppaway Estates a good place to own a trophy second home?
Uppaway Estates is one of the strongest trophy second-home propositions on the Nevada side of Tahoe. A gated lakefront enclave of roughly 29 estates, a shared private pier, IVGID privileges, and Fleishman-estate heritage combine into a level of scarcity the California shore cannot match. Nevada's zero state income tax and zero state capital-gains tax add hundreds of thousands to millions in savings over a long hold for ultra-high-net-worth buyers. The critical verification: confirm the specific property's pier and buoy rights, CC&R rebuild rules, and TRPA constraints before writing an offer.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Who Lives in Uppaway Estates?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Incline Village-Crystal Bay CDP carries a median household income well above the Washoe County average — and Uppaway Estates sits at the apex of that profile, a gated enclave of ultra-high-net-worth owners, multigenerational lake-legacy families, and California tax relocators at the high end.
Uppaway Estates has appreciated as ultra-high-net-worth buyers recognized that a gated Nevada lakefront address with a private pier compares overwhelmingly favorably on a tax-adjusted basis to comparable California lakefront. With only about 29 homes, the enclave skews heavily toward owner-occupant second-home and legacy use and the highest educational and wealth attainment in the region — a profile distinct from even the broader high-income Incline Village market.

GROWTH & APPRECIATION
How Fast Is the Uppaway Estates Market Growing?
Uppaway Estates and the broader Incline Village lakefront market have appreciated strongly over the past decade, driven by ultra-high-net-worth California tax migration, structural TRPA supply constraints on shoreline development, and the sustained appeal of gated Lake Tahoe estates at Nevada tax rates. The Nevada State Demographer projects continued Washoe County growth through 2030, supporting sustained demand for the lake's rarest trophy addresses.

Uppaway Estates / ZIP 89451 trophy-lakefront valuation trajectory, 2010–2026
Uppaway Estates has appreciated with the broader Incline Village lakefront market — driven by irreplaceable gated frontage, a private community pier under tight TRPA limits, Fleishman-estate heritage, and sustained ultra-high-net-worth California demand for Nevada tax addresses. With only about 29 homes that can ever exist behind the gate, structural scarcity keeps Uppaway among the most resilient trophy assets on Lake Tahoe even as broader markets fluctuate.

Market Competitiveness
How Competitive Is the Uppaway Estates Market Right Now?
Uppaway Estates is an ultra-low-inventory, buyer-specific trophy market. Typically one to three active listings appear in the ZIP 89451 lakefront tier, and trophy homes take many months to sell given the small buyer pool per NNRMLS data. When a correctly priced estate with strong pier rights appears, ultra-high-net-worth buyers move quickly, so serious buyers stay pre-positioned with funds.

- Most Uppaway purchases are all-cash or jumbo/private-bank loans with 20–30% down and large reserves
- Short-term rentals are frequently restricted by CC&Rs — verify rental and rebuild rules before purchasing
- Pier and buoy rights vary by property and are governed by TRPA — confirm them in writing during escrow
- Extremely limited inventory — years can pass between Uppaway sales, requiring patience and pre-positioning

Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to Uppaway Estates?
Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Review taxes for your circumstances
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Compare written costs and property requirements
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Define your property and location needs
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Confirm financing and the full ownership budget
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Agree on representation and the search process
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Investigate the exact address
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Review the offer and its deadlines
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Review inspections and property documents
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Coordinate services and moving arrangements
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm possession and new-resident requirements
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.

Cost of Ownership
What Will an Uppaway Estates Home Cost You Each Month?
Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.

Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
How should you compare buying with renting?
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Purchase worksheet
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Rental worksheet
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
Use scenarios rather than a promised break-even date
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
Which HOA charges apply to this address?
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Recurring charges
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Closing and special charges
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Rules and access
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Uppaway Estates?
Most Uppaway Estates purchases close in 30–45 days; cash offers can close in 7–14 days, though trophy-estate title and pier-rights review add time. Financed purchases use jumbo or private-bank underwriting — every Uppaway estate exceeds the conforming limit many times over — so expect 35–45 days to funding. Allow time to confirm pier and buoy rights, CC&Rs, and TRPA limits.
Quick Answer
What does it take financially to buy in Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates sits deep into jumbo and private-bank territory — every estate exceeds the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550 many times over. Buyers who finance typically use jumbo or portfolio loans requiring 20–30% down, a 720+ credit score, and substantial cash reserves, often arranged through private-banking relationships for ultra-high-net-worth clients. Many Uppaway purchases are all-cash, which strengthens an offer in a market with only one or two listings. Cash buyers face no credit requirement but should budget 1–2% of the purchase price for closing costs, plus trophy-estate insurance and pier-rights diligence.
Uppaway Estates FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Uppaway Estates Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the price range in Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates is among the most prestigious addresses on Lake Tahoe, with trophy lakefront and lake-view estates trading from roughly $5,000,000 to $40,000,000 depending on frontage and pier rights, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS for ZIP 89451. The effective median runs near $10,000,000 per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS; with only 29 homes, sales are rare and each unique.
What makes Uppaway Estates different from other Incline Village neighborhoods?
Uppaway Estates is an ultra-private gated enclave of just 29 homes on the former 44-acre estate of Major Max C. Fleishman, assembled in the early 1930s on the Nevada shore near Glenbrook. Most Incline Village neighborhoods hold hundreds of homes; Uppaway holds roughly 29, including the historic original Fleishman residence. Residents share a private community pier, a lakeside park, and tennis and pickleball courts among protected open space — a trophy water-access amenity stack that no condo tier or production subdivision on the lake can replicate.
What types of properties are in Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates is a custom-estate enclave — there are no production builders and no two homes are alike. Properties range from lakefront trophy estates with private frontage and pier rights to elevated lake-view estates set among protected open space behind the gate. Square footage, architecture, and lot size vary widely across the roughly 29 homes, from the historic 1930s Fleishman residence to fully modern rebuilds. Every Uppaway property is a one-off, which is part of why each transaction commands individual valuation rather than comparable-driven pricing.
Is Uppaway Estates a gated community?
Yes — Uppaway Estates is a small, ultra-private guard-controlled gated enclave on Lake Tahoe's Nevada shore, adjacent to the main Glenbrook gates on the east side of the lake. With only about 29 homes behind the gate and abundant protected open space, Uppaway offers a level of privacy and security that very few Lake Tahoe addresses can match. Buyers who want full guard-gated seclusion at a trophy lakefront tier consistently rank Uppaway and neighboring Glenbrook among the most exclusive options on the entire lake.
What are HOA fees like in Uppaway Estates?
HOA dues in Uppaway Estates fund the gate, the shared private pier and boat mooring, the lakeside park, the tennis and pickleball courts, and maintenance of the enclave's protected open space. Because Uppaway is a tiny custom-estate community rather than a condo association, dues are structured around these shared trophy amenities and vary year to year. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for current HOA dues, reserve health, and any pending special assessments on a specific Uppaway listing — all of which should be verified during escrow.
Does Uppaway Estates include IVGID amenities?
Properties served from the Incline Village area, including Uppaway Estates, can access the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) amenity program for its private resources: two private sand beaches on Lake Tahoe (Incline Beach and Burnt Cedar), two championship golf courses, Diamond Peak Ski Resort with resident-discounted lift tickets, tennis courts, the Recreation Center, and Parasol Park. IVGID privileges are separate from Uppaway's own private pier and park — confirm the exact IVGID assessment and access status for any specific Uppaway parcel before making an offer.
What schools serve Uppaway Estates?
Per district boundaries in the Incline Village area, Uppaway Estates is served by the Washoe County School District, which covers the Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe. Incline Elementary School, Incline Middle School, and Incline High School are the primary assigned schools — all located within Incline Village and drawing from the area's high-income resident base. Many Uppaway households also consider Davidson Academy in Reno (gifted) or private options. Confirm current school-zone assignment for any specific address with WCSD or the Washoe County Assessor before purchasing.
What is the history of Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates occupies the early-1930s lakefront estate of Major Max C. Fleishman, who assembled roughly 44 acres on the Nevada shore. The name is Tahoe lore: when Fleishman asked his wife Sarah whether she wanted to build on the lakeshore, she replied, "No, I want it up a way" — and the elevated estate, and the gated enclave that grew around it, took the name Uppaway. The historic original Fleishman residence still stands among the enclave's roughly 29 homes, making Uppaway a rare piece of Lake Tahoe heritage as well as a trophy address.
What are property taxes like in Uppaway Estates?
Property taxes in Uppaway Estates fall under Washoe County jurisdiction. Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $10,000,000 Uppaway estate, the annual tax bill typically runs approximately $50,000–$70,000 per Washoe County Assessor data — dramatically below comparable California lakefront properties taxed at 1.0–1.2%. At this price tier, the gap versus the California shore can exceed several hundred thousand dollars over a long hold, before counting Nevada's zero state income tax.
Can I rent out an Uppaway Estates home short-term?
Short-term vacation rentals on the Nevada shore are governed by county ordinance, TRPA, and the enclave's own CC&Rs — and ultra-private gated communities like Uppaway frequently restrict or prohibit nightly rentals to protect privacy and security. Before purchasing an Uppaway estate with any rental expectation, verify the enclave's CC&Rs, current county short-term rental permit availability for the parcel, and any HOA restrictions. At the trophy tier, most Uppaway owners hold for personal use and long-term appreciation rather than rental income; treat any STR plan as conditional until fully verified.
How competitive is the Uppaway Estates real estate market?
Uppaway Estates is one of the most supply-constrained markets on Lake Tahoe — with only about 29 homes behind the gate, years can pass between sales, and a single active listing can represent the entire available inventory. Per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89451, trophy estates at this tier typically take many months to sell given the small qualified buyer pool, though a correctly priced lakefront estate with pier rights can attract competing ultra-high-net-worth buyers quickly. When an Uppaway property comes to market, serious buyers should be pre-positioned with proof of funds and an agent who can move within 180 days.
What is the investment case for Uppaway Estates?
Uppaway Estates pairs irreplaceable scarcity with Nevada tax advantage — roughly 29 homes on a historic 44-acre lakefront estate, a private pier and park, and frontage that TRPA rules make essentially impossible to replicate. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency restricts new shoreline development, so existing pier, buoy, and rebuild rights are exceptionally valuable. Nevada's zero state income tax, no state capital-gains tax, and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 strengthen the carrying and exit math. Buyers planning a long hold benefit from both trophy-asset appreciation and a tax structure the California shore cannot match.
How does Uppaway Estates compare to other Lake Tahoe Nevada enclaves?
Uppaway Estates sits at the very top of the Nevada Lake Tahoe market alongside Glenbrook — both are historic, gated, ultra-luxury east-shore communities. Uppaway is smaller and more private at roughly 29 homes versus Glenbrook's larger gated community with private golf. Lakefront enclaves like Crystal Bay and the broader Incline Village lakeshore offer trophy property at a similar or slightly lower tier, while Tyrolian Village is the attainable condo entry point. Uppaway's combination of scale, history, private pier, and gate places it among the lake's most exclusive addresses.
What should I budget for monthly costs in Uppaway Estates?
At a $10,000,000 Uppaway estate, even buyers who finance typically use jumbo or private-bank lending; at 20% down and 7% interest, principal and interest alone runs roughly $53,000/month. Add Washoe County property tax of approximately $4,200–$5,800/month, premium homeowners and lakefront/pier insurance, HOA dues funding the gate and shared amenities, and the IVGID annual assessment. Many Uppaway purchases are all-cash, which removes the financing line entirely. Nevada's zero state income tax materially offsets carrying costs for the high-income buyers who target this enclave.
What do Uppaway Estates buyers need to know about the HOA and pier rights?
Before writing an offer on any Uppaway estate, request the full HOA and enclave document package: CC&Rs, bylaws, recent meeting minutes, the reserve study, the operating budget, and any pending or recent special assessments tied to the gate, pier, park, or courts. Critically, verify the property's specific water-access rights — the shared community pier, any private pier or buoy entitlements, and how TRPA rules govern rebuild and shoreline modification. At the trophy lakefront tier, pier and frontage rights are often the single largest driver of value, so confirm them in writing during escrow.
How are Uppaway Estates purchases typically financed?
Uppaway Estates sits well into jumbo and private-bank territory — every estate exceeds the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550 many times over. Buyers who finance generally use jumbo or portfolio loans requiring 20–30% down, a 720+ credit score, and substantial cash reserves, often through private-banking relationships built for ultra-high-net-worth clients. Many Uppaway transactions are all-cash, which strengthens an offer in a market with only about 29 homes. Budget 1–2% for closing costs on top of the down payment, and engage a lender experienced with Lake Tahoe lakefront estates. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 to coordinate financing for an Uppaway purchase.
Is Uppaway Estates a good place for a trophy second home?
Uppaway Estates is one of the strongest trophy second-home propositions on the Nevada side of Tahoe — a historic, gated lakefront enclave of roughly 29 homes with a private community pier, lakeside park, IVGID amenity privileges, and Nevada's zero state income tax. Scarcity is the core of the case: TRPA rules make new shoreline development essentially impossible, so existing frontage and pier rights are irreplaceable. The critical step before buying is verifying the specific property's pier and buoy rights, CC&R restrictions on rentals and rebuilds, and the IVGID assessment — all of which materially affect value at this tier.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in Uppaway Estates?
Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group represents buyers and sellers across the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, including the gated east-shore enclaves of Uppaway and Glenbrook. Our agents prepare a custom valuation using NNRMLS data and the limited comparable trophy sales specific to Incline Village's lakefront tier, and we have the discreet buyer network to reach qualified ultra-high-net-worth buyers who target the Nevada shore for its tax advantage.

What Else Do People Ask About Uppaway Estates?
Beyond the main FAQ, these are the questions Uppaway Estates buyers most frequently type into Google and AI assistants — each answered with verifiable specifics: prices sourced from the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, enclave details from Washoe County records, IVGID assessment details from ivgid.org, and GreatSchools 2026 school ratings.
Is Uppaway Estates a good investment?
Uppaway Estates is among the most supply-constrained trophy assets on Lake Tahoe — roughly 29 homes on the historic Fleishman estate with irreplaceable TRPA-protected frontage and a shared private pier. Scarcity, Nevada's zero state income and capital-gains tax, and the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 create favorable long-term ownership math. Buyers planning long holds have historically seen strong, resilient appreciation in the ZIP 89451 lakefront tier even as broader markets fluctuate.
What is Uppaway Estates in Incline Village?
Uppaway Estates is an ultra-private gated lakefront enclave on Lake Tahoe's Nevada shore near Glenbrook, served from the Incline Village area (ZIP 89451). It occupies the former 44-acre estate of Major Max C. Fleishman, assembled in the early 1930s, and today holds roughly 29 trophy estates — including the historic original residence — with a shared private community pier, lakeside park, and tennis and pickleball courts.
How did Uppaway Estates get its name?
The name comes from Tahoe lore: when Major Max C. Fleishman asked his wife Sarah whether she wanted to build directly on the lakeshore, she replied, "No, I want it up a way" — preferring an elevated setting. The estate, and the gated enclave that grew around it, took the name Uppaway. The historic original Fleishman residence still stands among the enclave's roughly 29 homes.
Can I do a short-term rental in Uppaway Estates?
Short-term rentals in ultra-private gated enclaves like Uppaway are frequently restricted or prohibited by CC&Rs to protect privacy and security, and any rental is also subject to county ordinance and TRPA rules. Both layers must be verified before purchasing with any rental expectation. Most Uppaway owners hold for personal use and long-term appreciation; treat any STR plan as conditional until the enclave CC&Rs and county permit availability are confirmed in writing.
What amenities does Uppaway Estates have?
Uppaway residents share a private community pier with boat mooring, a lakeside park, and tennis and pickleball courts, set among abundant protected open space behind the gate. These enclave amenities are complemented by IVGID privileges — two private Lake Tahoe beaches, two championship golf courses, Diamond Peak ski discounts, and the Recreation Center — making Uppaway one of the most amenity-rich trophy addresses on the lake.
How does Uppaway Estates compare to Glenbrook?
Uppaway Estates and Glenbrook are the two premier gated, historic, ultra-luxury communities on Lake Tahoe's Nevada east shore. Uppaway is smaller and more private at roughly 29 homes with a shared community pier and park; Glenbrook is a larger gated community with a private golf course and beach, priced from about $4M to $20M+. They sit roughly 10 minutes apart via US-50, and buyers at this tier frequently consider both.
What are pier and buoy rights, and why do they matter at Uppaway?
Pier and buoy rights are entitlements to maintain a pier or moor a boat on Lake Tahoe, governed by Tahoe Regional Planning Agency rules that make new shoreline structures essentially impossible to permit. At Uppaway, the shared community pier plus any property-specific frontage or buoy rights are often the single largest driver of value — which is why confirming exactly what water-access rights convey with a given estate is the most important step in trophy-tier due diligence.
Is the Nevada east shore worth the premium over the Reno valley?
For buyers who want gated lakefront living, a private pier, and a Nevada trophy address, Uppaway Estates and the east shore are uniquely positioned — TRPA prevents replication of this frontage anywhere on the lake. For buyers who don't prioritize lakefront, South Reno master-planned communities offer strong value at $600K–$850K versus $5M–$40M+ at Uppaway. The two markets serve entirely different buyers.
