Bijou is one of South Lake Tahoe's oldest, closest-in, and affordable neighborhoods.

This is another of the new video series we're doing on South Lake Tahoe neighborhoods. We think these will become a helpful resource for folks to better see and know about the wonder of our Lake Tahoe lifestyle from afar.

Here's the narrative that's in the video, and we do hope you enjoy:

With about 1,400 homes, Bijou is another one of South Lake Tahoe’s oldest neighborhoods.

Features are wide open meadows, high sierra mountain views, close proximity to the lake, and all things fun about South Lake Tahoe.

Homes range from small, charming entry-level starters, to mid-range primary and vacation homes, to large remodels and some new construction and high end luxury homes as well. 

Bijou's is set amid easy vacation shopping, South Lake Tahoe dining, and we're literally minutes away from awe inspiring South Lake Tahoe's winter recreation and summer time wonders.

Bijou is right in the middle of Lake Tahoe's famed year around entertainment and nightlife attractions.

Bijou comes in a verdant forest setting, and many inspiring views can be found here.

Bijou homes can flank open meadows, the national forest service, and Bijou even has its own public golf course. There are a few homes here that are lakefront properties too.

Part of Bijou is on one of south Lake Tahoe's nicest public beach, and the pier there features among many things a terrific lake-side restaurant.

The Bijou pier seems central to much of Lake Tahoe's summer resort water sports attractions.

Yes, that means jet skis, water paddling, plenty of boat rentals, wonderous parasailing, paddleboat cruises… and walking on water too.

Home prices range from small, older homes in original condition priced at market entry to larger, more luxurious homes much above that. But Think most home prices in the $2's and $3's on average here.

This is the lowest Bijou home sale, and this is the highest home sold in Bijou in the last 4 years.

($120,000 at 3404 Freel Avenue, which sold in 2009)

($1,800,000 at 952 Balbijou, a lakefront home sale also in 2007.)

The figure here, $391750, is the highest annual median sold price in Bijou since 2007. It is certainly lower than that now ($249,000).
