    I get asked some version of this question almost every week: should I look in Nevada City or out at Lake of the Pines?

    Lake Views, Golf Cart Living, and the Lake of the Pines Lifestyle at 23081 Sunset Ridge

    There are homes that simply give you a place to live, and then there are homes that make it easy to enjoy the lifestyle you moved here for. 23081 Sunset Ridge in Lake of the Pines falls squarely into the second category.
