Mountain town with world-class ski resorts
Park City is internationally known for its ski resorts, scenic views and dining and shopping along Main Street. “It feels like a resort town, but we have a large primary home community and a great school district, too,” says Michael Hludzinski, a Realtor with EXP Realty and Park City local. “It’s a resort market, so buyers who come here want to live a recreational but active lifestyle with skiing and snowboarding in the winter and fishing and golfing in the summer.” Set 30 miles east of Salt Lake City in the Wasatch Mountains, residents are close to Park City Mountain and Deer Valley, and local businesses and restaurants are always within reach on Main Street. It’s the home of the annual Sundance Film Festival, drawing crowds of movie buffs from around the world. Despite its relatively small size, Park City offers many amenities and activities.

World-class skiing and outdoor activities in Park City
“The majority of people who come here are active,” says Hludzinski. Park City Mountain Resort is the largest ski resort in the United States, featuring slopes for all skill levels. It will serve as one of the venues in the 2034 Winter Olympics. About two miles southeast, Deer Valley Resort also offers more than just skiing; residents can take a scenic chairlift ride with views of the Wasatch Mountains and go horseback riding or snowmobiling. City Park is centrally located and features like a softball diamond, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts. It also has an outdoor skate park with a street course, half pipe and deep bowls. Nearby, the four-mile Gambel Oak Trail Loop is popular year-round with hikers and snowshoers and offers striking views of Park City and the surrounding tree-lined hilltops.
Park City might be known as a ski city, but it has something to offer every season. “It’s most common for people to buy a place for the winter season so they can enjoy winter sports,” says Dan Howard, Park City’s Vice President of Communications. “But it’s very common that once they buy, they end up using the home more often than they thought they would. It’s a great seasonal cycle.” People stay for summer hiking and water sports on the reservoir, to watch the dramatic foliage in the autumn or ski under bluebird skies in the spring. However, winter sports remain the top draw for residents and visitors from around the globe. “When you host the world, it just brings something special to the area,” says Howard. “If you get on the ski lift, there’s a good chance that the person who gets on with you could be from anywhere in the world.”

Shopping and dining on Main Street
Main Street is one of Park City’s primary shopping and dining destinations. Local businesses operate out of historic buildings, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. Park City limits the number of chain restaurants, so most options are locally owned and operated. “Main Street has so many restaurant choices,” says Hludzinski. While many restaurants serve American fare with an elevated Old West feel, residents can also find specialty dining like Japanese and Italian fare. Local businesses line Main Street, like Bahnhof Sport for ski and adventure gear, Park City Jewelers and Dolly’s Bookstore, where residents can buy new books, gifts and sundries. The Park Silly Sunday Market is also held on Main Street, where locals can shop for locally sourced produce and handmade crafts. Fresh Market and a few local grocers provide locals with essentials.
Thanks to the nearby Salt Lake City Airport, Park City is easily commutable for those who travel for work. “You can be in the mountains but easily get to the airport,” says Howard. “For people who like city life, you can still have a foot in the urban area and a foot in the rural area.” The rise in tech businesses in Utah, many of which offer work-from-home positions, has earned the area the nickname “Silicon Slopes.”

Sundance Film Festival and other local events
The annual Sundance Film Festival is held in January and showcases independent films from around the world. “Locals get to see films way before they’re released in theaters,” says Howard. Park City residents can head to the Egyptian Theater on Main Street for local showings. “The town gets very crowded, but Sundance brings a ton of activities,” says Hludzinski. “There are movie screenings, special events like parties and things of that nature. If you live here, it’s cool to go to the resort during that time because the slopes are usually empty.”
The Kimball Art Center is less than a mile north of City Park, where residents can admire touring exhibitions and take art classes in painting, clay working, and more. The annual Kimball Arts Festival features artists from around the country and live music. In the summer, the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera relocate to Park City for the Deer Valley Music Festival. Mountain Town Music also hosts concerts throughout the year at area venues like the Park Silly Sunday Market on Main Street and Woodenshoe Park in Peoa, about 14 miles northeast.
Park City has hosted winter Olympic events in the past and will again in 2034.

Townhouses and single-family homes with mountainside views
“The market is quite a mix,” says Hludzinski. “We have everything from studio condominiums to 10,000-square-foot homes. During the pandemic, the housing market was moving extremely fast, and now we’re kind of normalizing. We continue to have low inventory, but days on the market are slowly increasing as inventory climbs.” Condos are an increasingly popular development, as space is limited. Full-ownership condos start at $275,000 and can go up to $7 million. Some condos are smaller units with few amenities. More expensive properties offer mountain views, pools, spas and easy access to skiing—with some being ski-in/ski-out properties. Of free-standing single-family residences, buyers will spend anywhere from just under $1 million to $47 million. These mountain homes offer a sense of tranquil seclusion. “Space is very limited in Park City Proper,” says Howard. “The city has created a lot of open space that it wants to preserve, so there is limited land for people to build.”

Getting around Park City
Despite the 24 feet of snow a year, residents will find Park City easy to get around. “We have a really strong public system for clearing snow,” says Howard. “Colorado is pretty jealous of us because we make it easy to get around. Our roads and airports never really close.” Park City is about 30 miles east of Salt Lake City via Interstate 80. Much of Park City, like Main Street, is walkable, but Park City Transit buses are also available to take residents around town or to nearby ski resorts. “What makes Park City unique is that Salt Lake Airport is only 30 miles from Park City. Compared to Colorado, you have to travel a really long distance after you fly in to get to the mountains,” says Hludzinski. “I’ve heard horror stories from Colorado where you fly from Denver, and you’re stuck in traffic for four hours.” For medical needs, Intermountain Health Park City Hospital is about four miles east.
Low crime rate in Park City
Park City experiences low rates of property and violent crime. According to the Park City Police Department, there were just over 500 reported instances of property and violent crimes combined in 2023. Both property and violent crime are down from 2022 and continue an overall downward trend of crime since 2019. There has not been a homicide in Park City for over five years. Howard attributes the low rates of crime to citizen neighborliness and the proactivity of the Park City Police Department.
