Sleepy town, good for families

We lived in Gardnerville for 9 years. Quiet town. Plenty of families. Great if you like the outdoors. Dry climate. You get all four seasons, but mild. The wind in the afternoon can be irritating. Kind of rural, but there is one excellent shopping area with restaurants, etc., about 20 minutes from Gardnerville. It takes 20 minutes to get to the nearest beach at Lake Tahoe, but the best beach for kids, Sand Harbor, is about 45 minutes. Not a good community for singles. And the people are not all that warm. But if you attend a church, (we went to Hilltop Community), you'll find warm, friendly people and plenty of activities for the family. There is also a fun swim center with water slides for the kids. We are now in Southern California and enjoy being in all the action. Won't get as much variety in Gardnerville, but nice town none-the-less.
