Park City Tara

One of the first things I ask my buyers is: What do you actually want your life in Park City to look like?

Because “I want a home in Park City” can mean five completely different things.

🎿 1. If you want true ski-in/ski-out living:
Look at Empire Pass, Deer Crest, or The Colony.

These are some of the first places I’d look if maximizing your time on the mountain is the priority. Empire Pass and Deer Crest put you right into the Deer Valley lifestyle, while The Colony offers incredible ski access at Park City Mountain.

🍸 2. If you want to walk to Main Street:
Look at Old Town, especially around the Town Lift and Upper Woodside.

This is for the buyer who pictures walking to coffee in the morning, dinner and drinks at night, and getting on the Town Lift without having to get in the car.

🏗️ 3. If you want new construction:
Look around Jordanelle, Hideout, and Deer Valley East Village.

Some of the most exciting growth around Park City is happening here right now, from custom mountain homes overlooking Jordanelle Reservoir to brand-new luxury communities near Deer Valley. I’m actively working in this market and also have access to new construction opportunities that don’t always hit the public market.

⛳ 4. If golf is just as important as skiing:
Look at Promontory or Glenwild.

These are great places to explore if your ideal Park City lifestyle includes private club amenities, beautiful golf courses, mountain views, and plenty to do year-round.

🏡 5. If you’re moving to Park City full-time:
Start with Park Meadows, Jeremy Ranch, Pinebrook, or Silver Springs.

These areas offer more of that established neighborhood feel while keeping you close to trails, skiing, schools, restaurants, and everything else you want to enjoy around town.

There really isn’t one “best” neighborhood in Park City. It depends entirely on how you want to live once you get here.

Tell me your #1 Park City non-negotiable, and I’ll tell you where I’d start looking. 👇

A few more favorites from an unforgettable few days on the road. 🏎️🏔️

From leaving Park City and driving through some of the most beautiful stretches of Utah and Colorado, to mountain resorts, winding roads, incredible cars, and a lot of laughs with this group, the rally was such a fun way to experience the Mountain West.

But as much as I loved the driving and the scenery, the people really made the trip. New places are always more fun when you get to experience them with good friends.

And yes, I had to include the poker hand that somehow ended with me winning the tournament and taking home a watch!

Park City → Aspen → Telluride → Moab and plenty of memories in between. Already looking forward to the next adventure with this crew. 🤍

Another big milestone at Soaring Hawk—the walls are going up, structural steel is in, and this home is really starting to take shape. 🏔️

This is the part of new construction I love: when you can finally stand inside the footprint of the home and begin to see how the original vision will translate into the finished space.

And with Jordanelle Reservoir and the surrounding mountains right outside, you can already understand why this home was designed around the views. Expansive walls of glass will eventually frame that landscape and make it part of the home from nearly every angle.

Swipe back through the renderings and then look at where construction is today—it’s pretty incredible to watch the two start coming together.

Designed by , 11425 Soaring Hawk Lane is well underway in Hideout, Utah, and I’ll keep sharing the progress as this luxury mountain home gets closer to becoming a reality.

Day 3 of the rally took us from the mountains of Telluride to the red rocks of Moab. 🏎️🏜️

We covered another 234 miles, following Highway 141 along the Dolores River, stopping in Gateway, Colorado, and watching the scenery completely change as we made our way back into Utah.

There’s something pretty incredible about seeing a lineup of exotic cars against the red rock landscape in Moab — definitely one of my favorite views from the trip.

And apparently the driving wasn’t my only lucky streak that day… I ended the night winning the poker tournament and taking home a beautiful watch from !

Mountain roads, great cars, even better company, and a poker win to finish it off. I’d say Day 3 was a success.

Day 2 and apparently we’re still choosing the scenic route. 🏎️🏔️

We left Snowmass bright and early and headed toward Telluride with , driving through Independence Pass, stopping in Buena Vista, continuing over Cottonwood Pass, and making our way through Gunnison before finally arriving in Telluride.

And I’m not sure there’s a better way to end a full day of driving through the Colorado mountains than checking into , hopping on the gondola, and taking in that 360° view over Telluride.

This entire trip has been such a fun reminder of how much there is to explore throughout the Mountain West — especially when the drive itself is half the experience.

Aspen → Buena Vista → Cottonwood Pass → Gunnison → Telluride.

Another incredible day with . Now on to Day 3. 🏔️

Another milestone at Soaring Hawk. 🏔️

Construction is well underway at 11425 Soaring Hawk Lane, and it’s exciting to watch the vision for this home become a reality one step at a time.

Designed by , this modern mountain residence was created around its incredible setting, with expansive windows and living spaces positioned to capture sweeping views of Jordanelle Reservoir and the surrounding mountains.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but seeing concrete going in makes those beautiful renderings feel a little more real!

I’ll continue sharing progress as this home takes shape in Hideout. I can’t wait to watch it all come together.

410 miles, two states, some incredible cars, and one very good reason to take the long way to Aspen. 🏎️🏔️

Day 1 of the rally started bright and early in Park City and took us east through Utah and Colorado, with stops in Vernal, Rangely, Douglas Pass, and Grand Junction before finally pulling into Aspen Snowmass.

The best part of a trip like this isn’t just the destination. It’s the mountain roads, the scenery, the cars, the people, and all of the stops along the way. We wrapped up the drive at , followed by cocktails and dinner at — a pretty perfect ending to 410 miles on the road.

One of my favorite things about is the community they’ve created around car culture here in Park City. Events like this bring together people who love beautiful cars, great drives, and experiencing everything the Mountain West has to offer.

And this was only Day 1… 👀

September is one of my favorite months in Park City. 🍂

The summer crowds begin to thin, the temperatures are perfect, the aspens start turning gold, and there’s still so much to do before ski season arrives.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or lucky enough to call Park City home, here are a few events and activities worth adding to your calendar this month:

🍂 on Historic Main Street
🚵 Deer Valley Resort for the FOX US Open of Mountain Biking
🚠 Scenic chairlift rides at Deer Valley Resort and
🥾 A hike to Bloods Lake or a scenic drive over Guardsman Pass
🚤 A lake day at Jordanelle with rentals from
🍻 Deer Valley’s Mountain B**r Festival
🎨 Last Friday Gallery Stroll with Park City Gallery Association

One of the reasons I love living here is that every season feels completely different. September is that sweet spot where you can spend the morning on a mountain trail, the afternoon on the lake, and finish the day with dinner on Main Street.

Save this post for your next Park City weekend, and let me know—which one are you checking out first? 🤍🏔️🍂

One of the first questions I ask a buyer is:

"What do you want your Park City lifestyle to look like?"

The answer usually points us to a completely different part of town.

🎿 1. You want to ski as much as possible.

If being first on the chairlift is your dream, we usually focus on areas like Deer Valley, Old Town, Empire Pass, or Canyons Village, where you're close to the slopes and can maximize your time on the mountain.

🏡 2. You're looking for a second home.

Many second-home buyers want a balance of privacy, beautiful views, and easy access to restaurants, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Communities around Jordanelle, Hideout, Promontory, and Deer Valley East Village are worth exploring depending on your priorities.

💼 3. You're buying an investment property.

Not every neighborhood has the same rental opportunities. Areas like Canyons Village, Old Town, and parts of Deer Valley are popular because of their strong vacation rental demand and proximity to skiing and Main Street. Every HOA and community has different rental rules, so it's important to understand those before you buy.

🌲 4. You're relocating full-time.

If you're planning to call Park City home year-round, we often look at neighborhoods like Trailside, Silver Creek Village, Jeremy Ranch, or Pinebrook, where you'll find great neighborhoods, schools, trails, and a true sense of community.

The best neighborhood isn't the most expensive one—it's the one that fits your goals and the way you want to live.

If you're thinking about buying in Park City, I'd love to help you narrow down the options and find the area that's the right fit for you. 🤍🏔️
