A Lake Tahoe community has the most expensive mountain homes in the country

Straddling the border between northern California and western Nevada in the Sierra Nevada range is Lake Tahoe, about two-thirds of which is in California and one-third in Nevada. The property tax-friendly Nevada side stretches for about 30 miles, which is home to a number of small communities. That includes the Glenbrook area, whose 89413 ZIP code has the most expensive U.S. mountain real estate, ranked by median listing price, according to Realtor.com. (News Corp, which owns the Wall Street Journal, also operates Realtor.com.) Encompassing the largest, segregated gated development of Glenbrook and a half-dozen other smaller neighborhoods, the 89413 ZIP code is elite, coveted and private.
