Claimjumper is a condominium complex in MLS Area 01 Old Town Park City, built in 1974 and 1976 along Homestake Drive within walking distance of Park City Mountain Resort. The complex holds a mix of studio, one-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom units ranging from about 510 to 1,374 interior square feet. Most units are three bedroom, two bath stacked or townhouse layouts, with a smaller set of one-bedroom floor plans and a few four-bedroom units that use a loft stacked above a main floor.
Claimjumper sits at the accessible end of Park City's Old Town condo market. Buyers priced out of newer Old Town buildings or of single-family Old Town homes often end up at Claimjumper because it is one of the few places in Park City city limits where an owner can buy a walkable-to-the-mountain residence at a materially lower entry point. Nightly rentals are permitted under Old Town zoning, which is why Claimjumper also serves as an investor-owned short-term rental pool.

Why Buyers Choose Claimjumper
Three reasons drive most Claimjumper purchases. The first is price. Claimjumper sits at the lower end of Park City's Old Town condo market, which means it is one of the few in-town ownership options still available to buyers who cannot or will not stretch into the seven-figure Old Town condo tier. Sales history over the past several years has kept Claimjumper at a materially lower entry point than Kings Crown, 205 Main Street, or new-construction Old Town condos.
The second reason is walkability. Claimjumper is on Homestake Drive, a short walk to Park City Mountain's main base area and to the free city transit system that moves people between Park City Mountain, Canyons Village, and Deer Valley. Owners can leave the car parked all weekend.
The third reason is rental flexibility. Claimjumper sits in Old Town zoning, which permits nightly rentals. Owners have historically run the units through management companies, through private listings on short-term rental platforms, and as long-term rentals. Rental income supports ownership carry costs for buyers who do not use the unit year-round.
Who Claimjumper Fits
Trade-off: Buildings are from the mid-1970s, so floor plans are smaller, finishes are older than new construction, and HOA reserves address aging infrastructure.
Fits: Buyers prioritizing location and price over square footage and amenities.
Trade-off: Older buildings can mean higher maintenance surprises. Budget for unit-level updates and expect HOA assessments over time.
Fits: Operators ready to manage or place the unit with a short-term rental manager.
Trade-off: Smaller living footprints. Buyers used to 3,000+ square foot homes should calibrate expectations.
Fits: Skiers who will trade floor plan for a short walk to the lift.
Trade-off: Resale pool for sub-1,000 square foot units is smaller, so exit pricing can lag larger layouts.
Fits: Solo owners or couples without pressure to scale the residence.
Floor Plans and Unit Mix
Claimjumper's unit inventory concentrates in a few recurring layouts. The most common is a three-bedroom, two-bath layout around 1,140 to 1,375 interior square feet, typically stacked on a single main level with some plans offering a spiral staircase to a loft used as a fourth bedroom or secondary sleeping area. One-bedroom and studio units in the 510 to 560 square foot range trade less frequently and tend to sit at the lowest entry price in the complex. A small group of four-bedroom units with loft configurations round out the inventory.
Finish levels vary significantly from unit to unit. Owners who have renovated have typically moved to Pergo, engineered wood, or tile flooring, replaced original cabinetry, installed quartz or slate countertops, upgraded kitchen appliances, and added in-unit laundry where it did not originally exist. Units that have not been updated still reflect the original 1970s finish package. Buyers should walk every unit with that spread in mind rather than assuming inventory is uniform.

Call 435.200.5478Location, Walkability, and Transit
Claimjumper is on Homestake Drive in Park City's Old Town, a short walk to the Park City Mountain Resort base area. The free Park City transit system runs from stops near the complex to Canyons Village and to Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge, which means owners can access all three resort base areas without driving during the season.
Main Street dining, galleries, and the Main Street Trolley are within walking distance. Grocery and big-box errands require a short drive to Kimball Junction or Quinn's Junction. Salt Lake City International Airport is roughly 35 to 40 minutes in normal conditions, longer on storm days.
HOA, Parking, and Building Considerations
HOA dues at Claimjumper are billed monthly and cover building insurance, exterior and common-area maintenance, grounds, snow removal, trash, and the reserve fund. Like most 1970s-era complexes, reserve study health and the HOA's approach to major infrastructure replacements (roof systems, siding, mechanicals) is the single most important diligence item. Buyers should request the current monthly assessment, the prior twelve months of operating statements, the most recent reserve study, and any disclosed special assessment history before writing an offer. Call 435.200.5478 for the current figure and the last reserve study summary.
Parking is one assigned covered space per unit for most floor plans, with street and community overflow nearby. Large groups, multi-vehicle households, or owners planning to host extended guests should plan around that constraint. Park City Old Town street parking is seasonal and regulated.

Off-Market Inventory and Why a Local Broker Matters Here
Claimjumper is a larger complex than most Old Town buildings, which means inventory flow is steadier and owners turn over more regularly. Public MLS listings still miss a meaningful slice of the actual market, particularly for buyers willing to negotiate directly with an owner on an unrenovated unit before it lists. Long-time Claimjumper owners frequently sell through private conversations or through brokers who already know the complex's ownership group.
A buyer working Claimjumper seriously should have a broker tracking every unit that is rumored to be for sale, not only the units already on the portals. Derrik Carlson maintains that coverage on the complex. Call 435.200.5478 to surface unit inventory before it hits public channels.
Claimjumper FAQ
When was Claimjumper built?
Claimjumper was built in 1974 and 1976. Some individual units have been significantly remodeled since, so interior finish level varies unit to unit even though the buildings share one construction era.
How big are the Claimjumper units?
Interior square footage runs from about 510 to 1,374 square feet. The most common floor plan is a three-bedroom, two-bath layout in the 1,140 to 1,375 square foot range. Studio and one-bedroom units sit at the smaller end, and four-bedroom units use a loft stacked above the main level.
Are nightly rentals allowed at Claimjumper?
Yes. Claimjumper sits in Old Town zoning, which permits nightly rental. Owners run the units through professional short-term rental managers, on self-managed platforms, and as long-term rentals.
Is Claimjumper walkable to the ski resort?
Yes. Claimjumper sits on Homestake Drive within a short walk of Park City Mountain Resort's main base area. The free Park City transit system, with stops near the complex, also connects to Canyons Village and to Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge.
What does the HOA cover at Claimjumper?
HOA dues are billed monthly and cover building insurance, exterior and common-area maintenance, grounds, snow removal, trash, and the reserve fund. Reserve study health is the single most important diligence item in a 1970s-era complex, so buyers should request the current figure and the most recent reserve study before writing an offer.
How is parking at Claimjumper?
Most units come with one assigned covered parking space. Street and community overflow parking are available nearby, but are seasonal and regulated. Multi-vehicle households or owners expecting frequent overnight guests should verify parking per unit and plan for the constraint.
Is Claimjumper a good investment property?
It can be, depending on the specific unit, the purchase price, the renovation condition, and the rental strategy. Nightly rental rights, walkable ski access, and a lower entry price than comparable Old Town complexes all help. Older building infrastructure, HOA reserve exposure, and the smaller resale pool for studio and one-bedroom layouts are the offsetting factors. Underwriting should be unit-specific.
What common upgrades do Claimjumper owners make?
Recurring upgrades include replacing original flooring with engineered wood or tile, installing quartz or slate countertops, replacing cabinetry, upgrading kitchen appliances, and adding in-unit laundry where it did not originally exist. Renovated units transact at a visible premium over units that still carry the original 1970s finish package.
