Developed in 1934, the community consists of 98 single-family homes, including 28 lakefront residences. With its private beach, buoy field, and convenient East Shore location, Marla Bay has long been a popular neighborhood for both year-round residents and second-home owners seeking direct access to Lake Tahoe.
