The Best Place to live in Park City Utah, Part 3, Old Town
Old Town is the perfect place to live for many residents. They like the bustling energy, the closeness to all things Park City. Read on to see if Old Town sounds right for you:
Park City’s Old Town has a colorful history and is full of character. Old Town reflects the rich mining history of Park City, which was incorporated as a city in 1884, eighteen years after silver was discovered in its mountains. Many of the original commercial and residential buildings still remain, reflecting the Victorian architecture of that era. Main Street in Old Town is known for its great shops, world class restaurants, art galleries and unique character.
You will see multi-million dollar mansions next to small miner’s cottages, homes that are maintained beautifully next to rental properties in need of some love. That’s the beauty of Park City’s Old Town. It’s not cookie cutter subdivision bland. The beauty is in the diversity, the diversity of homes and of residents. Approximately 50% of the homeowners are full-time, the other 50% are either second home owners or investment/rental properties.
From Old Town you can walk to Historic Main Street for dining or shopping. The City has installed stairs at intervals to get you up to Lowell and down to Park Ave. You are in the middle of all the action. Many of the Old Town homes are within walking distance to Park City Mountain Resort for skiing or hiking and biking in the summer.
Prices range from the $200’s for a condo up to $8 Million dollars for a large home on a large lot. The average home right now is 3-4 bedrooms, 1 car garage, 2000 sq ft and runs between $799,000 and about $900,000.

The Best place to live in Park City, Utah Part 2, TRAILSIDE PARK
Trailside Park
Trailside Park is one of my favorite areas – I live there! I chose this area because of the proximity to everything . Trailside Elementary is within walking distance of most Trailside homes along with a fantastic park that includes 2 soccer fields, 2 play jungle gyms, 2 tennis courts, sand volleyball, a bike pump track and a skate park! Whew! That’s a lot of fun right here!
Trailside is mostly primary residents and the homes range from the $300’s to well above $2 Million. It is super popular with families because of all the recreation and fun listed above. No kids, or older kids? The Park City free bus runs right through the center of Trailside, so easy to send your teens off to the slopes on the bus.
Park City Mountain is about 8-10 minutes from Trailside, Canyons about 6 minutes and Deer Valley about 10 minutes. Park City’s historic Main Street is only 10 minutes away as well. It's considered a little bit "out of town" compared to Old Town living, but works well for most locals. Salt Lake City is about 25 minutes from Trailside and both the I-80 fwy and the SR-40 are withing minutes making this a great commuter neighborhood. Doctors that need to be able to be down in SLC within 30 minutes when on call live in Trailside.
Redstone center is about 5 minutes away and you will find grocery shopping, movie theatres, stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, TJMaxx, WorldMarket and many others. My dentist is in that center too!
So, let’s talk about the name…Trailside Park. There are tons of trails connecting through Trailside for biking , hiking or jogging. The trails connect with Round Valley, Mountain Ranch Trails, Glenwild Trails and Silver Creek Trails. Plenty of exercise and recreation for everyone.
TRAILSIDE HOMES AVAILABLE

The Canyons improvements will be ready for opening day!
Great News! It appears the improvements at The Canyons will be ready in time for opening day. See the link to the Parkrecord article below featuring a press conference with Todd Burnette, VP of Marketing at The Canyons.
Looks like the new heated lift , Orange Bubble Express will have 2 drop spots - the first appears to drop near Lookout Cabin, the second up near Sun Peak Express lift. I wonder if they have plans for nighttime and summer dining at Lookout Cabin? I would go. Food is great, the view off the outdoor deck is to die for - a great deck for summer weddings and parties.
For all of you that have skied the right side of The Canyons - Upper Boa, Kestrel, Rendevous Ridge or if you take the runs off of Doc's - Thunder Road, Diablo, Badlands- (some of my faves), the problem always was getting to the base from there. It appears they have not yet solved this.
You get to the bottom and have to take a rope tow ( indicated on the map as a surface lift) then hoof it to the base of the gondola. The rope tow is still showing - it is called Rip Cord on the map. I have called it many things, but never Rip Cord! We can only hope they have altered the terrain to eliminate the uphill walk. Now that the gondola has moved, we may be able to ski once we leave the rope tow. Check back for updates!

Is it Winter or is it Fall?
As promised I have a few pictures of Park City's first snowfall this season. Last night as I fell asleep it was blowing and raining. I woke up to plenty of fresh powdery snow! I live at about 6500 ft and I got about 3-4 inches.
Park City Mountain , Deer Valley and The Canyons are not yet showing any totals and when I called them they did not have any measurements. Bummer!
Well, we know it is not quite skiiable yet, but if you are a ski fanatic you want to know NOW!!
This one was taken just a few minutes ago at about 3:00 pm mountain time. How gorgeous the bright yellow trees are against the snow.

This picture was taken about 7:30 or 8:00 this morning

Best outdoor Fall lunch spot in Park City and Deer Valley
How fabulous is my life that I can head off to the St. Regis Deer Valley for a business lunch?
The day was just like you read about in books - clear skies, crisp cool air and beautiful. The Aspen trees are still golden in color and are stunning against the evergreens. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the now bare ski runs. We were the only ones out there. It was peaceful.
As always the food at the St. Regis was delicious. Two of us had the shrimp salad with avocado, mixed greens and a beurre blanc for a dressing. I am not a salad lover, but it was pretty awesome. One of us had the butternut squash soup and the goat cheese fondue appetizer. I could have been happy just sipping the goat cheese! It was to die for. Grapes, beets and bread to dip. Ahhhh. Life is good.
Every meal we have had at the St. Regis has been fabulous. Atmosphere and good food. Yum.

Park City's foreclosures
I have been given the assignment by some of my buyers to find them a screaming deal on a bank owned or short sale property here in Park City.
I make sure I am out looking at pretty much every home that is available so I am already prepared when I start working with a buyer. What I find to be the most frustrating is the lack of choices within the pricing criteria I am given. Here I have willing buyers and there is not much to choose from when it comes to bank owned properties.
Some of the short sales can be good deals, but the typical story is most buyers don't want to wait the long time frames required to buy these properties. I counsel my buyers that these can take a long time and 9 times out of 10 buyers move on. It is tough to put your life on hold hoping the bank will respond to the offer, hoping the bank's other divisions won't foreclose before the short sale division approves the offer. Gotta be flexible to buy a short sale!
Anyway, I suppose it is a testament to the strength of Park City's economy that we don't have a bunch of bank owned homes sitting around. Those that come up are scooped up quickly. With buyers that are not based here in Park City, it is tough to get them to make a decision long distance quickly enough. Now with foreclosures coming to a halt it ought to be even more interesting.

The Canyons Gondola and Beach progress pictures
Showing property at The Canyons yesterday - again. Westgate whole ownership condos and Silverado whole ownership condos. Both at great prices.
This time I took pics. Not great pics, but good enough to see the progress of the 2 biggest changes at The Canyons.

The new Gondola towers are under construction. We decided the only way the new Gondola path will work is for it to make a turn at this new tower to the new base. We'll see...
The new Gondola base and Beach. The concrete footings have been in for a while, but now they are preparing the area for the beach and placement of the new Gondola base. Still no sign of the heated domed chair. On my next hike from Sun Peak area I will check out the far side of The Canyons to see if anything is completed. Check back for updates!

The Canyons Golf Course Official Ground Breaking
Finally! It has been at least 10 years in the making. Way back in 2003 I heard about this golf course in Park City at The Canyons for the first time. My husband writes for Golf Vacations Magazine golfvacationsmag.com and was invited to Park City to write an article about the soon to be Canyons Golf Course. Well, as you can guess the golf course was delayed, and delayed and delayed.
If you wish to take a look at all of the history, infighting and drama go to parkrecord.com and search for The Canyons Golf Course. It will read like a soap opera. I knew Talisker would get the job done. All those years of waiting and poof! Talisker buys the resort, golf course goes in.
From a Real Estate point of view, homeowners and Realtors alike have been waiting for this golf course to happen. Just the fact the golf course is official should get some buyers off the fence and feeling like they are getting in at a great time - before the rest of the world figures out The Canyons is a four season fabulous resort. Prices are great and the golf course will increase summer traffic.
Speaking at a groundbreaking event Tuesday morning, Canyons Managing Director Mike Goar said he expects golfers to begin playing the course in 2013.
"Technically, the golf course construction is underway and will be underway in earnest next spring," Goar said. "It's been a long time coming, a lot of hard work by a lot of people."
