Park City Heights is a master-planned new construction community in the Prospector area of Park City, built by Ivory Homes. It sits on the south side of Kearns Boulevard, across from Intermountain Park City Medical Center and the National Ability Center, with direct access to the Rail Trail and a short drive to Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley, and Main Street. This page covers what Park City Heights actually is, how the floor plans compare, what the community offers, and which buyer profiles fit best.

Quick Answer

Park City Heights is one of the only true new construction master-planned communities inside Park City proper. Buyers can choose between Cottage Homes, which are market-rate single-family residences from approximately 2,076 to 3,500 square feet of finished living space, and Homestead Homes, which are larger custom single-family residences up to 6,000 square feet above grade and 12,000 total square feet. Nightly rentals are not permitted, which makes the community a fit for primary-residence buyers and lock-and-leave second-home owners rather than short-term rental investors.

Why Buyers Choose Park City Heights

Most new construction inventory in Park City is concentrated at the resort base areas, where price points run high and short-term rental dynamics dominate. Park City Heights is different. It is a true neighborhood, designed for people who want to live in Park City rather than visit it, with the kind of community amenities and modern construction that are difficult to find in the older Park City housing stock.

The community sits on the Prospector side of town, which means an easy drive to Main Street, Park City Mountain Resort, and the Deer Valley Expansion. The Rail Trail runs directly past the community, connecting on foot or by bike to Old Town in one direction and toward Coalville in the other.

Floor Plans and Home Types

Park City Heights offers two market-rate home options for buyers.

Cottage Homes

The Cottage Homes are the entry point into the community. There are 61 market-rate Cottage residences, ranging from approximately 2,076 to 3,500 square feet of finished living space, with total square footage between 4,059 and 5,904 when basement space is included. Each Cottage features a three-car garage. Phase One lots run between 5,373 and 10,388 square feet.

Architectural style blends mountain, mining, and modern design influences. Cottages come with open floor plans, large windows, energy-efficient construction, and the standard Ivory Homes finish package, which is consistent across the community.

Homestead Homes

The Homesteads are the larger custom option. There are 99 market-rate Homestead residences in the community plan, with home sizes ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 square feet above grade and total square footage up to 12,000 when basement and lower-level space is finished. Phase One Homestead lots run from 10,518 to 12,289 square feet, with future phases offering lots up to roughly half an acre.

Homesteads are designed to be fully customizable. Buyers work with Ivory Homes on plan selection, finish selection, and site-specific layout decisions. This is the path for buyers who want new construction in Park City but want more control over the final product than a typical production home offers.

Community Amenities

The amenity package at Park City Heights is more substantial than at most Park City communities outside the resort base areas.

  • 3,000 square foot clubhouse with kitchen, lounge, and game room
  • Outdoor swimming pool and hot tub
  • Pickleball courts and basketball courts
  • Enclosed dog park
  • Children's playground
  • 5.7-acre community park
  • 171.5 acres of dedicated open space
  • Paved and natural-surface trail system connecting to the broader Rail Trail network
  • Community gardens
  • Free Park City Transit bus stop at the community entrance

HOA dues cover common area maintenance, common area taxes, grounds maintenance, amenity access, and reserve funding. The transit stop at the entrance is a meaningful detail. Park City's transit system runs free and covers most of the town, so day-to-day errands, Main Street trips, and resort access do not require a car.

Location and Access

Park City Heights is in the Prospector area of Park City, west of US-40 and south of SR-248 (Kearns Boulevard). The community is approximately:

  • 10 to 15 minutes from Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Village
  • 10 to 15 minutes from Deer Valley Resort
  • 10 minutes from Historic Main Street Park City
  • 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport
  • Direct access to the Rail Trail at the community boundary
  • Adjacent to Intermountain Park City Medical Center and the National Ability Center

For buyers who want to be in Park City year-round or for substantial portions of the year, the location strikes a useful balance. It is close enough to the resorts for skiing and dining, far enough from the resort base areas to avoid the seasonal traffic and short-term rental density, and connected enough to the rest of Park City that the location feels like part of town rather than apart from it.

Construction and Energy Efficiency

Every home in Park City Heights is built to either NAHB Green Silver Certification or LEED Silver Certification standards. That means tighter building envelopes, higher-efficiency mechanical systems, better insulation, and lower long-term operating costs than most comparable Park City inventory. Ivory Homes is the largest residential builder in Utah and applies a consistent specification package across the community, which reduces the kind of finish and quality variability that shows up in custom-built or aging Park City homes.

For out-of-town buyers, the energy efficiency point matters more than it might appear. Park City winters are long and cold. Heating costs on older, leaky Park City homes can run several times higher than on a modern, tight, well-insulated home. The Ivory Homes specification is not the highest-end mountain custom build, but the value-per-dollar on operating cost is strong.

Schools

Park City Heights is in the Park City School District.

Rental Policy

Nightly rentals are not permitted in Park City Heights. This is a design decision in the community plan, not an HOA preference that may shift. Long-term leases are the only rental structure allowed. For buyers, this rules out short-term rental income as part of the investment thesis, but it also means the community holds together as a residential neighborhood rather than a rotating cast of weekly guests.

Investor buyers looking for nightly rental cash flow should look at Canyons Village, Jordanelle, or select Deer Valley properties where nightly rental is permitted and supported by HOA programs. Park City Heights is built for ownership, not for rental yield.

Who Fits This Community

Three buyer profiles fit Park City Heights well.

Primary-residence buyers who want new construction in Park City. The existing Park City housing stock in this price range is dominated by 1990s and 2000s construction. Park City Heights is one of the few options to buy new, in town, at a price point that supports it.

Second-home buyers who want a real neighborhood. Many Park City second-home options sit in resort condo buildings or rental-heavy communities. Park City Heights operates as an actual residential neighborhood with consistent occupancy and community amenities used by residents rather than rotating guests.

Lock-and-leave buyers who travel often. Ivory Homes' modern construction, the HOA-maintained grounds, and the snow-removal coverage at community common areas make the property easier to leave for months at a time than an older custom home with more deferred maintenance risk.

Where Park City Heights Fits in the Park City Market

Compared with other Park City neighborhoods:

  • Versus Pinebrook or Jeremy Ranch: Park City Heights offers newer construction and stronger amenities, but it is further from the I-80 corridor and Salt Lake commute.
  • Versus Park Meadows: Park Meadows has older, larger lots and a more established neighborhood feel. Park City Heights is newer, more efficient, and amenity-driven.
  • Versus Old Town: Old Town offers historic character, walkable Main Street, and short-term rental income. Park City Heights offers modern construction, full amenities, and quieter year-round living.
  • Versus Canyons Village or Deer Valley resort condos: Resort condos offer ski access and rental income. Park City Heights offers a single-family home with a yard, a garage, and a neighborhood, at a typically lower entry point.

Buyers who are evaluating Park City Heights against another community usually come down to one decision: do you want a home or do you want a resort property? Park City Heights is the answer when the answer is a home.

Derrik's Perspective

Park City Heights is one of the easier communities in Park City to recommend with confidence. The construction is consistent, the amenities are real, and the location is genuinely useful for a buyer who wants to be in town rather than at a resort. The community holds its character because the rental policy keeps it that way, and Ivory Homes' build quality means buyers are not signing up for the deferred maintenance roulette that some older Park City inventory carries.

The Homestead Homes are the more interesting opportunity for out-of-town buyers who want new construction without going through a full custom build process. You get the floor plan flexibility, the modern specification, and the community amenities, without the 14 to 24-month build timeline of a fully custom home on a vacant lot. For buyers comparing new construction options across Park City, that combination is rare.

I am not here for one transaction. The buyers who do best in Park City tend to be the ones who choose a community that fits how they actually use the property, not the one that looks most impressive online. Park City Heights fits a specific buyer profile well, and when the fit is right, it tends to be a property the owner keeps for a long time.
