The Best place to live in Park City, Utah Part 1, JEREMY RANCH

I promised Park City neighborhood overviews, so here we go!

Let's start with Jeremy Ranch.
Jeremy Ranch is a community clustered around The Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club. Easy access to the I-80 and Salt Lake City makes Jeremy Ranch ideal for families with a commute to down to the Valley.

Jeremy Ranch is home to mostly full time residents. There are moderately priced homes on the lower part of the mountain along with townhomes and condos starting in the $200's. Larger, estate-sized homes in The Back Nine, Moose Hollow and The Trails subdivisions towards the top of the mountain, priced up to well over $1 million. Many homes have dramatic views of The Jeremy Ranch golf course and all three ski resorts.

Hiking and biking trails surround this community. Shopping is close by with Fresh Market and restaurants at the Jeremy Ranch exit off the I-80.

There is a mixture of homes styles in Jeremy Ranch. While some communities feature the rustic home style only, Jeremy Ranch has a nice combination of rustic along with a more city style of home featuring less wood and some brighter lighter feels with a little more of the Salt Lake influence.

Jeremy Ranch has an excellent Elementary School, and Golf club. Check out the links below for more information.

The down side of Jeremy Ranch is the I-80 noise from some parts of the area and the drastic diversity of price. Some buyers have a hard time to wrap their heads around spending just under $1 million for a home in a neighborhood where you can find a single family home for about $400,000.

Some feel Jeremy Ranch is too removed from town to really feel like they are in Park City. It is about 6 miles from Main Street - not really far. Super easy to Salt Lake City - about 20 minutes to Sugarhouse. Some have called Jeremy Ranch a bedroom community of Salt Lake City.

The Best Place to live in Park City Utah

Visitors come to Park City, fall in love and want to start a great life here.  Just like I and many others did!
The tough part is how to choose which area is best for you and your family.

What should you do? Drive around? Ask some locals? Sure, both of those are great starting points, but really your Park City Realtor should be a main source for information.

If your Realtor is good, they make it their business to know the ins and outs, the plusses and minuses of each area. Jeremy Ranch is not the same as Silver Springs or Prospector etc.  I don't just look at comps and stats, in most cases we have friends in each area, I have worked with the HOA's, I may even live in the area you are interested in.

My job is to figure out what is important to you. How important is  it to have easy access to the I-80 fwy? What do you and your family like to do in your free time? Are your kids young enough to play at a park, and if so, how close do you want to be to it? Do you want to walk to shops and restaurants? Do you like a neighborhood feel or solitude? View or mountain feel?

I don't sit you down with a questionairre, although that might be a good option! We sit down and talk, we spend time together to really figure out what works for you. The area that is best for one buyer may not work at all for another - even if the answers are the same.

In the next few blogs I will go over some of the local neighborhoods and why they may work for you.

Movie Studio Likely in Park City!

Wow, this has been a long time coming, but it appears Park City and Summit County have come to an agreement regarding Raleigh Studios coming to Park City. Quinn's Junction is at the corner of the US 40 fwy and the SR 248 ( Kearns Blvd). See article below:

TO BRING RALEIGH STUDIOS TO QUINNS JUNCTION

Developer to petition Park City to annex land into corporate limits.

Park City, Utah; January 18, 2012

Summit County and Park City officials have reached an agreement with developer Greg Ericksen to bring Raleigh Studios to Quinns Junction area. This announcement comes after more than a year of discussions with Mr. Ericksen on the development of a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex by Raleigh Studios. General terms of the settlement agreement include project size, adherence to local design guidelines and safeguard the Sundance Film Festival.

One key term of the settlement agreement is an application by Mr. Ericksen to annex the property into Park City. The property is located just outside the Park City corporate limits, southeast of the intersection of State Route 248 and U.S. 40. “The City fought against this project for many years,” said City Manager Tom Bakaly. “Over that past year it became increasingly apparent that the high level of interest in this project by the Utah Legislature, coupled with the pending lawsuit between Mr. Ericksen and Summit County, made it highly likely that a movie studio would be built in the Quinns Junction area.” Given these circumstances it is in our best interest to work with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios in order to accomplish community goals that “support the lodging industry, protect the Sundance Film Festival from unfair competition, and make this project fit as best as possible with area design guidelines and the Park City brand.”

County Manager Bob Jasper further explained that “while the project will have greater density than our zoning allows on that site, we are pleased to have this lawsuit dismissed and to begin a new chapter with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios.”

 

If the annexation into Park City is approved, the settlement agreement would allow a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex of up to 374,000 gross square feet of density subject to the following limitations:

 

The hotel would be limited to 100 rooms and 100 total keys;

The entire project would be built to LEED standards;

Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios cannot cause any harm to Sundance, and

Raleigh Studios will have to comply with design guidelines included in the agreement. The guidelines are such that the movie studio’s look and feel would be similar to the surrounding buildings, such as the hospital. Additionally, the City’s Planning Department would be heavily involved in the review of the design.

If the annexation is turned down by the Park City Council after a review by the Park City Planning Commission, the project would revert to Summit County for a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital media complex of up to 355,000 gross square feet of density.

The Summit County Manager has approved the Settlement Agreement. The Park City Council will review and possibly approve the Park City Annexation Addendum to the Settlement Agreement and accept the annexation petition on January 26, 2012. Bakaly added that “staff will recommend that the Park City Council and Planning Commission consider the agreement and public annexation process as a way to accomplish our greater community goals.”

Quinns Junction is located at the intersection of State Route 248 and US 40. It is home to Intermountain Healthcare Hospital, the National Ability Center, the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, Physicians Healthcare, the Park City Ice Arena & Sports Complex, Summit County Health Department and People’s Health Clinic.

 

Canyons/Solitude Tram update

Excerpts from the Park Record article:

Proponents of the proposed SkiLink went to Washington, D.C., this week to begin laying the groundwork for a gondola that would link Canyons ski resort with Solitude.


Meanwhile, on the Utah home front, opponents of the project have been mustering their own forces and are characterizing the project as a potential environmental catastrophe.

Representatives of the ski industry have long argued that connecting the area's resorts would be a boon to tourism and the state's economy. In this case, they also suggest the link could reduce traffic in Big Cottonwood Canyon and over Parley's Summit. Environmentalists, though, say it would open up the remaining backcountry to development and destroy a vital watershed.

But what if the two sides were able to negotiate a compromise, one that could actually reduce traffic and offer skiers

I believe this tram would only help Park City's economy by making our resorts even more desirable by linking with the other side of the Wasatch Mountains.
