The History of Tahoe Donner ℠
The Tahoe Donner ℠ area is a vacation home real estate community located in Truckee, California. Founded by the Dart Corporation in the early 1970s, the Tahoe Donner ℠ area has grown into one of the west's premier communities of second home real estate. "Old-timers" will talk of the Tahoe Donner ℠ area's early days when lots were first laid out and REALTORS would use Jeeps to drive prospective clients over the unpaved roads to view the Tahoe Donner ℠ Golf Course and mountain-view lots. Many of the early cabins in Tahoe Donner ℠ were pre-manufactured structures sold under the "Serendipity" label.
It has been reported that the Tahoe Donner ℠ area's Trout Creek and Alder Creek offered very good trout fishing. Dart relinquished the management of Tahoe Donner ℠ to the homeowners association in the early 1980s. The Tahoe Donner ℠ Homeowners Association is governed by a member elected board of directors and all owners of Tahoe Donner ℠ area real estate are required to pay an annual property owners fee.
The Tahoe Donner SM Homeowners Association continues to operate the many amenities and support functions necessary for the enjoyment and safety of the primary and second owners of Tahoe Donner ℠ area real estate. Day-to-day management is led by an experienced manager of resort communities and his staff of professional and support personnel.
