Overview of The Havens at Deer Crest
The Havens at Deer Crest is a small, slopeside neighborhood built around one idea: own a newer ski-in/ski-out home in Deer Valley without paying for a long list of shared club facilities you may not use. The project is planned as 32 multi-level townhome residences in duplex, triplex, and fourplex buildings, featuring modern alpine architecture, large-view glass, and practical storage for mountain living. Homes are planned as all-electric and south-facing for sunlight, privacy, and a calmer feel than the busiest base-area footprints.
If you want to stay close to Deer Valley’s terrain and still be about 15 minutes from Park City Main Street, this is one of the more direct new-construction options in the Deer Crest corridor.

Location and Ski Access
The Havens sits in Deer Crest, positioned for direct access to Deer Valley’s Jordanelle-side skiing and gondola connectivity. The core value is simple: step outside, ski to the gondola zone, and connect into the resort network without driving to a base. This area also keeps you away from some of the highest-traffic arrival patterns, which many buyers prefer for day-to-day use.
- Ski access: True ski-in/ski-out from the Jordanelle-side terrain and gondola connectivity (access patterns can vary by snow, operations, and unit location).
- Town access: Roughly 15 minutes to Park City Main Street dining and shopping (traffic and weather vary).
- Year-round use: Immediate access to Deer Valley summer trails, plus quick connectivity to hiking, biking, and Jordanelle recreation.
Important: Ski access descriptions are not a substitute for verifying the exact route from a specific residence. Confirm the route, grade, and return path before you commit.
Developer Background
The Havens at Deer Crest is associated with East West Partners, a group with a long track record in the Park City / Deer Valley market and a portfolio of high-profile mountain projects. Buyers care about execution because it affects layout efficiency, finish consistency, warranty follow-through, and resale confidence.

Features That Matter for Slopeside Ownership
In ski property ownership, the details that hold up over time are usually not the flashy ones. They are the functional ones: storage, drying, parking, access routing, and the ability to arrive, unload, and be done.
- Private ski storage: Dedicated ski rooms and gear storage designed for daily use.
- Outdoor living: Terraces and private hot tubs in many configurations (confirm per residence).
- Garages: Private garages and gear-friendly storage in select plans.
- All-electric systems: Planned all-electric design with separately metered utilities (confirm per offering).
- Lower amenity overhead: Limited shared facilities by design, which can help keep operating costs focused.
Nightly Rentals and “Lock-and-Leave” Use
Nightly rentals are permitted at The Havens at Deer Crest, offering flexibility for owners who plan to use the property personally and generate rental income. Buyers should review HOA documents and local regulations to understand operational rules, management requirements, and any use limitations.
If you want a clean strategy, here’s how I approach it with clients:
- Confirm nightly rental permissions in writing (HOA + city/county rules as applicable).
- Review parking, trash, noise, and hot tub policies because they affect real-world rental performance.
- Ask for a conservative pro-forma and compare it to realistic operating expenses (HOA, utilities, management, reserves).
HOA Dues, Taxes, and Ongoing Costs
Early projections suggest HOA dues scale with plan size and include core items such as water, sewer, trash, building insurance, master association expenses, and reserves. Internet may be available through the HOA as an add-on (confirm current rates).
- Projected HOA ranges: ~$25,000/year (2BR), ~$37,000/year (3BR), ~$43,000/year (4BR) (verify current budgets and what is included).
- Property taxes: Taxes vary by assessment and mill rate; confirm with Summit County and your lender/CPA for your scenario.
Buyers should review draft budgets for new construction carefully. The first few years can shift as reserves, insurance markets, and vendor contracts stabilize.

Construction Timeline
Construction timelines for new development can vary based on permitting, weather, labor, and supply chain conditions. Treat target dates as guidance, and confirm current schedules in the offering materials and contract documents.
Year-Round Use and Long-Term Positioning
The draw here is not only winter convenience. Demand for newer slopeside inventory is influenced by access, base-area infrastructure, and the evolution of the Jordanelle-side experience over time.
If your goal is a newer Deer Valley foothold with straightforward operations, The Havens has a clear value proposition: direct ski access, manageable scale, and optional rental flexibility.
How I’d Approach This Purchase
- Pick the right unit first: route, sun, privacy, and return access matter more than the brochure.
- Confirm nightly rental rules in writing: HOA + local rules + any applicable resort-area constraints.
- Underwrite real operating costs: HOA inclusions, insurance, utilities, management, reserves, and hot tub maintenance.
- Compare to proven comps: similar age, similar access, similar rental rules—then adjust for phase pricing.
- Get the contract right: deposits, build specs, change orders, allowances, warranty, and delivery language.
