You’ve spent years paying a premium to live in the city, dealing with hours of traffic, skyrocketing housing costs, and neighborhoods where you barely know the people living next door. What if you could trade the concrete jungle for 1.2 million acres of national forest, without sacrificing the modern amenities you need to thrive?
Welcome to Plumas County. Tucked away in Northern California’s spectacular “Lost Sierra,” we offer the outdoor lifestyle of Lake Tahoe without the gridlock, the crowds, or the exorbitant price tags. With safe neighborhoods, top-rated local healthcare, high-speed broadband, and a tight-knit community that actually cares, choosing Plumas isn’t just a move—it’s a massive upgrade to your quality of life.
We know that moving your family requires more than just beautiful scenery. To make the leap, you need infrastructure. Plumas County has quietly transformed into a remote-work haven equipped with the critical services needed to provide peace of mind.
You can work from the woods without working in the dark. Thanks to aggressive infrastructure investments by local cooperatives, expanding fiber-optic networks mean you can run a global business or seamlessly hop on Zoom calls right from a cabin in the pines.
Plumas County proudly operates without the bumper-to-bumper traffic of the city. Trade brake lights for starlight and reclaim hours of your life every single week to spend with your family instead of sitting on the freeway. Plus, when you need to travel for business, the Reno-Tahoe International Airport is an easy, scenic drive away.
You shouldn’t have to drive hours to feel safe. Plumas County is served by exceptional modern healthcare facilities, including Plumas District Hospital, providing 24/7 emergency rooms, primary care, and pediatric services right here at home.
Leave the overcrowded, 40-kids-to-a-classroom city schools behind. We offer highly rated public and charter schools with small class sizes. We are also proudly home to Feather River College, offering a stunning mountain campus, unique bachelor’s degrees, and vibrant local athletics.
