Spanning the “middle” of the mountain at Deer Valley
Upper Deer Valley Living: A Real Estate Buyer’s Guide
Perched high above Park City, Upper Deer Valley—centered around the Silver Lake Village area—is the pinnacle of ski-in/ski-out living. Known for its elevated mountain views, luxury real estate, and unbeatable ski access, this neighborhood offers buyers a rare chance to live at the heart of Deer Valley Resort. Whether you're seeking a legacy family retreat, a vacation home with rental potential, or a primary residence with alpine charm, Upper Deer Valley delivers on every front.
Upper Deer Valley sits at mid-mountain, providing a true ski hub that connects to virtually all of Deer Valley Resort. From Silver Lake, skiers can launch in multiple directions—toward Bald Mountain, Flagstaff, Empire Canyon, or back down to Snow Park—making it the most centrally connected location in the resort.
Thanks to its elevation, snow tends to linger longer here, and ski-in/ski-out access is among the most consistent in town. For buyers, this means not only convenience but also long-term value. Whether you're just steps from the lifts or tucked into a private ski-access enclave, the proximity to the slopes is unmatched.
Upper Deer Valley is home to some of the most prestigious real estate in Park City. The neighborhood includes high-end condos, luxury townhomes, and sprawling custom estates, many of which feature panoramic views, private ski runs, and top-tier design.
Condo developments like Stein Eriksen Residences, Stein Eriksen Lodge, Stag Lodge, and Goldener Hirsch offer turn-key living with access to resort amenities including spas, dining, concierge, and shuttle services. Single-family homes in neighborhoods like Bald Eagle Club and Knoll Estates provide a more private, estate-style experience—often with direct ski access and grand, lodge-inspired architecture.
With limited available inventory and strict development guidelines, Upper Deer Valley real estate holds its value well and appeals to buyers seeking exclusivity and lifestyle in equal measure.
Though tucked into the mountains, Upper Deer Valley doesn’t compromise on cuisine. In fact, it may have some of the most elevated dining experiences in all of Park City. The iconic Stein Eriksen Lodge is home to both the Five-Star Glitretind Restaurant and a legendary après-ski lounge. It's a destination in itself for both guests and locals alike.
Newer additions have added even more flavor to the scene. The Alpinist, with its alpine bistro feel and curated wine list, brings a fresh, European-inspired energy to Silver Lake. And for a playful, adults-only twist, the Sticky Wicket—a 21-and-over retro bar tucked into the village—offers craft cocktails, vintage vibes, and the perfect place to wind down after a day on the slopes.
These dining options, combined with luxury lodging and boutique shopping in Silver Lake Village, create a complete, self-contained alpine experience.
Buyers in Upper Deer Valley are often drawn to its sense of quiet luxury. Though just minutes from the hustle of Historic Main Street, it feels worlds away—peaceful, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. The neighborhood attracts a blend of seasonal homeowners, long-time residents, and investors who prioritize ski access, views, and tranquility.
Many properties allow for short-term rentals, making it an attractive area for those interested in generating income when not in residence. But even rental-friendly properties here tend to maintain a high standard of design and privacy, preserving the neighborhood’s elite status.
Upper Deer Valley is where luxury living meets legendary skiing. With direct access to Deer Valley’s best terrain, high-end real estate options, and a growing collection of sophisticated dining and après experiences, this mid-mountain neighborhood offers everything a discerning buyer could want—plus a little altitude.
For those seeking the true height of Park City living, Upper Deer Valley is not just a destination—it’s a dream realized.
