Park City Community Information

Park City enjoys a strong economy that is diversifying from its dependence on tourism. It is also located in one of the most dynamic counties in Utah. So whether you're looking at Park City from a business or personal perspective, it is a city on the rise.

Park City sits at the mouth of a small north-south canyon along the east slopes of the Wasatch Mountains. The canyon opens into a high mountain valley, where elevations range from about 6,400 to 7,000 feet above sea level. The valley is protected by the surrounding mountain, which rise to over 10,000 feet in some areas.

 

Old Town Park City
Old Town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its well preserved and renovated Main Street. Many of the 19th century miners' homes, boarding houses and schools are also Nationally Registered Historic structures.

Extensive renovation has been underway since the late 1970's. Park City government administers a grant program to encourage owners to restore their properties. Historic Main Street is the center of activity, offering boutique shopping and gourmet dining, enhanced by the addition of the Town Lift, which offers excellent mountain access.

 

Deer Valley® Resort
Deer Valley® Resort Ski Resort is consistently rated as one of the best ski resorts in the U.S. by the readers of Ski Magazine. The neighborhood at the base of the ski area is called Snow Park, after the early ski resort that preceded Deer Valley® Resort. The Snow Park area offers a variety of condos, home sites and single family homes.

Royal street leads to the Silver Lake community, site of many single family subdivisions and condominium lodges. The most desirable homes and town homes offer direct ski access. Many other homes are just a short walk from access trails. Perched above Silver Lake Village is the prestigious gated Bald Eagle community which features some of the most luxurious properties of any ski area in the world.

 

 Aerie/Prospector
Prospector is a local favorite for convenience. On the bus route and close to shopping, schools, movie theaters, the Rail Trail and the Silver Mountain Health Spa, Prospector Square is well known for its Victorian style architecture and neighborhood park with a pond and playground.

 

 Thaynes Canyon/Aspen Springs
Thaynes Canyon and Aspen Springs areas surround the Park City Municipal Golf Course and is located just before getting into Park City's Old Town area. Offering mature natural landscaping, large trees, great ski resort views, and great mountain trail access, this area is a favorite among long time locals. Homes range from single family residences to multi-acre equestrian properties.

Park Meadows community is home to many of Park City's permanent residents, because of its close location to McPolin Elementary School, Treasure Mountain Middle School, Park City High School, Park City Racquet Club and the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts.

Subdivisions include Eagle Pointe, Meadows Estates, Risner Ridge, Mountain Top, Ridgeview, Holiday Ranch Estates, Fairway Meadows, West Ridge and Fairway Hills Estates.
