"Love living in Prospector Square"

OK....I live in this neighborhood and I love it. Everything from affordable condos to high end homes and everyone lives harmoniously together. The 30 mile Rail Trail starts in Prospector surrounded by mountain biking and hiking trails galore, the newly renovated Silver Mountain Health Club complete with two glorious swimming pools and an abundance of work out facilities and classes, several walk-to yummy eateries and even a couple parks. This is one of my most favorite neighborhoods in the entire city. Dogs? Just about everyone has a friendly dog (on leash of course) and kids walk to school, fall football games and of course takes the public bus to Main Street, the ski resorts or even to the junction for some serious shopping.

Prospector is one of the more established and affordable neighborhoods in Park City and offers single-family, multi-family and condominium properties, some with distinctly Victorian-era styling. Located within walking distance of Park City High School, Treasure Mountain Middle School and McPolin Elementary, Prospector also offers easy access to the Rail Trail, Park City's popular recreational trail for bikers, runners and walkers.

Any questions about Prospector? Drop me an email at [email protected]. I am a 25 year Parkite and I'm pretty confident I can answer all your questions about Park City or even the Prospector Square neighbor.

"Park City's (seemingly) most popular neighborhood"

`What more could you ask for in a Park City neighborhood. The majority of Park Meadows residents are primary homeowners, although second-home owners are discovering that the neighborhood’s sweeping views, convenient location and cohesive feel make for a great off-mountain alternative.

There is something in this neighborhood for everyone. Moderately priced condo living to very high end exclusive custom homes. The biggest attraction to Park Meadows is the PCMARC (Park City Municipal Area Recreation Center). Whether you like a spin class, yoga, masters swim program or tennis galore, the PCMARC offers it throughout every day (including weekends). And you can get there using the free public system, ride your bike, walk or even roller blade on the safe-pedestrian friendly streets.

Perhaps something a little more upscale? Check out the Park Meadows Country Club with an newly renovated 18 hole ST. Andrews style golf course.


And finally, let's talk about schools. Park Meadows backs up to the newly renovated Park City High School as well as Treasure Mountain Middle School and McPolin Grade School all located on Kearns Boulevard, providing safe, easy access to area schools. Did you know that Park City is one of the top 150 public school systems in the country?

Would you like any additional information about the Park Meadows neighborhood or Park City in general, drop me a note at [email protected]. I am a 25 year local and I think I can answer just about any question you may have about our little slice of paradise in the Wasatch mountains.

"Old Town, the gem of Park City"

Park City’s Old Town neighborhood is defined by its lasting roots and connection to the area’s rich mining history. Originally platted in the 19th century, Old Town homesites are quite small and many homes are built into the steep hillsides
that hug both sides of the neighborhood. Largely a result of ongoing efforts toward historical preservation, Old Town has retained its small, old-west mining town feel. The spectacular buildings and storied past of Old Town’s legendary Historic District provide variation to area home styles and further reinforce the neighborhood’s authenticity.

Old Town is what has given Park City it's charm. Ski resorts like Vail and Beaver Creek would love to have an Old Town atmosphere to embrace for their own community. Park City is a real town, with real people, a fantastic community and with a real history that us Parkites love. Within walking distance to everything (and I do mean everything) there is nothing to want for (except easy parking) when you live or visit Old Town.
Pros
  • Charm, history and ambiance
  • Eclectic neighborhood
Cons
  • Winter parking can be an issue
  • Homes are on small lots

"Lower Deer Valley, close to all things Park City"

Lower Deer Valley is a four season neighborhood located near the main base area of Deer Valley Resort®. This neighborhood is located within close proximity to Main Street nightclubs, restaurants and shops. The resort's Snow Park Lodge is less than a mile away from Old Town. This neighborhood is great jumping point for year-round outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking on adjacent trails, world class skiing, music and concerts at the base of Deer Valley so much more.

This area is particularly known for its easy location and most of the homes have some sort of dramatic view of the mountain and ski slopes and all within walking distance to Historic Main Street for restaurants, shops and all things Park City. You will definitely want to ride your bike to Main Street for the annual 4th of July parade. Totally home-grown.

Want to know more about Park City and definitely Lower Deer Valley, drop me a note at [email protected]. I've been a Park City local for more than 25 years.

I almost forgot, the Solamere Swim and Tennis Club is a great summer hang out for kids and adults alike for those that have a membership. I'm green with envy when I drive by in the summer and see all the families and kids having fun.
Pros
  • Expect to see a deer or moose in your yard at some point
  • Lots of trails for hiking and biking
  • Quiet and peaceful, very little traffic
Cons
  • Thin in neighbood spirit, most homes are 2nd homes

"Deer Valley Luxury Home Community"

Deer Crest community is perched along the ridgeline and throughout the hillside at the eastern edge of Deer Valley. Most of the luxury homes, homesites and condominiums offer ski access, including private ski runs at Deer Valley Resort®. Very secluded (and exclusive) and therefore no schools, traffic, medical facilities, public transportation etc., within the Deer Crest Development. However, it is hard to imagine that Historic Main Street and all things Park City is only a few minutes drive!
Pros
  • Spectacular views
  • Deer Valley Ski runs
  • Custom, spectacular homes
Cons
  • Upper end of real estate values
  • Private and gated community

  • Professionals
  • Families with kids
