Deer Vista- Phase Two Coming On The Market

Deer Vista is a gated community, located on the north-eastern side of the Jordanelle reservoir, approximately ten minutes from Park City, and thirty minutes from Salt Lake City. 

The neighborhoods and projects around the Jordanelle Reservoir have exploded in popularity during the past few years.  Real Estate prices in Park City have risen, and the surrounding the Jordanelle Reservoir- just outside of Park City and the Park City School District- are now seen appropriately as a great alternative and value.   Deer Vista’s successful launch- with Phase One selling out quickly- has highlighted the attention real estate in the area is receiving. 

Deer Vista is a community of 103 homesites.  The average…

It’s hard to imagine leaving Park City to go hiking or sightseeing. 

There are so many activities, hiking and biking trails to explore in and around Park City.  The Uintas are Utah largest mountain range, and are easily accessible for those who want to do a little exploring just outside the Park City area.  Many locals, including myself, go to the Uinta mountains, arrive, and frequently say “Why don’t I do this more often??” 

The Uinta Mountains are distinctly different than the Wasatch Mountains that surround Park City and Salt Lake City.  First, their appearance is different- the peaks are higher, but more rounded.  There is also abundant water in the Uintas- most of Utah’s water flows out the high Uintas, and there are hundreds of crystal clear…

The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) has recognized what we have known for years in Park City:  that Park City and the surrounding communities have some of the best mountain biking in the country and world, and that the summers in Park City are the reason most locals decide to stay in Park City long term.

I’ve heard many Park City residents and second homeowners say that they come for the winter and stay for the summer.  As a 34 year Park City resident, I couldn’t agree more.  Winter activities are plentiful- no question.  And...summers in ski and mountain towns are even better.

Property Tax Season-

How do real estate property tax rates in other Utah counties compare to Summit County property taxes?

A quick disclaimer- the following was completed after doing some basic research.   Real estate property tax structure can be complex, and includes multiple tax areas within each county (there are 60 areas in Summit County).   In bringing forward some observations, it’s not my intent to suggest that property taxes are too low or high. 

After selling real estate for years in Park City, Summit County and Salt Lake County, I noticed that for property at similar price points, property taxes  assessed on property located in Salt Lake County are noticeably higher than those in Park City.

I used the PropertyTax101.org to do some…
