Old Town is the historic heart of Park City—a rare blend of charming miner-era architecture, luxury ski homes, and effortless access to both Park City Mountain Resort and the shops and restaurants of Main Street. For second-home buyers and ski families, Old Town offers the dream combination of walkability, ski access, and unbeatable four-season energy. For investors, it remains one of the strongest nightly-rental markets in the entire state due to its limited inventory, iconic location, and year-round tourism demand.
The neighborhood stretches from the base of Park City Mountain to the top of Main Street, creating a dynamic mix of historic cottages, remodeled luxury homes, contemporary new builds, and ski-in/ski-out estates tucked into the hillside. Many properties offer direct or fast access to the Town Lift, making Old Town one of the most convenient neighborhoods for car-free skiing and après.
Luxury buyers appreciate the architectural diversity—modern glass hillside homes, meticulously preserved historic miners’ cottages, and rare buildable lots with protected mountain views. Investors target Old Town because homes here command premium nightly rates during ski season, Sundance Film Festival, and summer festivals. With strict preservation rules and minimal land available for new construction, Old Town’s appreciation has remained consistently strong.
Main Street’s restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and events create a vibrant atmosphere that appeals equally to families and second-home owners. In summer, residents enjoy hiking and biking from their doorstep, weekly farmers markets, and outdoor concerts. In winter, it becomes one of the most charming ski villages in the West.
With its irreplaceable location, timeless architecture, and strong rental performance, Old Town is one of the most desirable and enduring real estate markets in Park City.
