Park City Real Estate
Park City, Utah is not only the #1 ski town in America, but is also one of the best-preserved historic mining towns in the Mountain West. When silver was discovered in 1868, Park City quickly grew from a small mining camp into a boomtown full of colorful characters, including miners, merchants, saloon owners, gamblers, and ladies of the evening. Mining defined the town until the 1930s, but by the 1960s, a new industry emerged to save Park City from ghost town status. In 1963, what is now Park City Mountain Resort opened and offered new lifeblood that continues today.
Today, Park City has found the perfect balance between preserving the past and embracing the future.
