So, youâre thinking about moving to Park City?Canât blame you â this mountain town has a way of pulling people in. Between the world-class skiing, endless trails, and small-town charm, itâs hard not to fall in love here. But before you pack up and make the move, here are a few things I wish more people knew about living in Park City.
1ď¸âŁ The Seasons Are Real
Here, you donât just see the seasons â you feel them. One day youâre wearing shorts, the next youâre scraping ice off your windshield. Fall colors? Unreal. Snow in May? Happens. My advice: embrace it. Layer up, keep a shovel handy, and enjoy how nature runs the show.
2ď¸âŁ The Altitude Will Surprise You
Weâre sitting around 7,000 feet, and yes, that takes some getting used to. Youâll probably drink twice as much water as usual your first week â and you should. The airâs thinner up here, but the trade-off? Cooler temps, crisp mornings, and sunsets that make you forget about city life completely.
3ď¸âŁ The Lifestyle Is Built Around the Outdoors
If you like to ski, hike, mountain bike, golf â or just want to hang out with people who do â youâll fit right in. Around here, itâs normal to catch a few runs before work or hit a trail after dinner. Park City makes it easy to live healthy without even trying.
4ď¸âŁ The Real Estate Market Moves Fast
Homes here donât sit for long, especially anything close to Main Street or the resorts. Whether youâre looking for a cozy condo or a bigger home with views, having your financing ready goes a long way. A little prep makes a big difference when the right place hits the market.
5ď¸âŁ The Community Is the Heart of It All
Sure, Park Cityâs a resort town â but itâs also a community. Locals know each other. Youâll see familiar faces at the coffee shop, on the slopes, and at the farmerâs market. Itâs friendly, laid back, and everyoneâs got a story about how they ended up here.
Moving to Park City isnât just changing your address â itâs changing your lifestyle. If you love the mountains, the seasons, and that small-town-meets-luxury feel, youâll wonder why you didnât do it sooner.
