Trying to balance a fast Salt Lake City commute with mountain living for your family? Jeremy Ranch may give you both. You get quick I‑80 access, neighborhood trails, and an on‑site elementary school, all inside Park City’s 84098 ZIP. In this guide, you’ll see how Jeremy Ranch stacks up on commute times, daily convenience, outdoor amenities, and pricing compared with nearby options. Let’s dive in.
Why Jeremy Ranch works for commuters
Jeremy Ranch sits along I‑80 on the northwest side of Park City, which makes it one of the easiest places in 84098 to hop on the freeway toward Salt Lake. The neighborhood centers around the golf course and residential streets that feed directly to the frontage road and ramps. You are close to the canyon mouth relative to other Park City areas, which trims daily drive time. You can confirm the location and context through the neighborhood’s Jeremy Ranch overview.
Typical drive times to downtown Salt Lake vary with conditions. Plan for about 25–40 minutes off peak and 35–55 minutes during weekday peaks. In winter storms or chain‑control events, the trip can stretch past an hour. For planning, run a live check with a maps app and this SLC-to-Park City drive reference.
Transit option to Salt Lake
If you prefer not to drive daily, High Valley Transit Route 107 connects the Jeremy Ranch Park & Ride with Salt Lake Central on weekdays. The schedule includes multiple departures both directions, and you can transfer to broader UTA lines in the valley. Review the latest timetable and stop details on the Route 107 commuter page.
A practical winter note
I‑80 through Parley’s Canyon is the primary link to the valley. During storms, Utah’s traction law can require snow tires or chains, and enforcement can slow or restrict travel. Before a winter commute, check current notices and rules on UDOT’s site for traction and chain requirements.
Family life, simplified
Jeremy Ranch Elementary (K–5) is located inside the neighborhood, which many families find convenient for school routines. Attendance areas can change, so always verify the specific property’s boundary with the district. You can start with the school page on the Park City School District site.
You also get direct access to popular singletrack and loop trails. Local favorites include Flying Dog, Bob’s Basin, and connections through Moose Hollow and RTS/24‑7. These routes support year‑round activity from family hikes to beginner and intermediate biking. For a sense of the trail scene and group outings, browse the Park City Mountain Sports Club’s hike descriptions.
The private Jeremy Ranch Golf & Country Club anchors the community. Members enjoy an Arnold Palmer signature course plus social programming that brings neighbors together. Explore current offerings and family programming through the club’s official site.
Day to day, Kimball Junction is a short drive for groceries, medical services, and retail. That blend of mountain quiet and quick errands is a key reason families choose this area.

How Jeremy Ranch compares in 84098
Pinebrook: similar commute, more wooded feel
Pinebrook sits just across I‑80 with a comparable commuter profile. It also offers strong trail access and a blend of condos and single‑family properties. Pricing trends in 2025 ran slightly below Jeremy Ranch for single‑family, though still above many valley suburbs. Families often consider Pinebrook when they want a more wooded setting while keeping a similar drive time.
Kimball Junction: fastest hub for commute-first buyers
Kimball Junction is the transit and retail hub of 84098. You are closest to the freeway and local bus network, with more condo and townhome options that can reduce maintenance and entry price compared with golf‑front single‑family homes. The tradeoff is a denser, more commercial environment with less of a secluded neighborhood feel.
Summit Park and Silver Creek: more seclusion or more land
Summit Park sits higher and feels more rustic with thicker trees and a slightly longer approach to I‑80. Silver Creek offers larger parcels and a more open, planned community setting. Both appeal to buyers who want added space or privacy and are less focused on a daily downtown commute.
Glenwild: private, top-tier golf and privacy
Glenwild is a gated community with a private Tom Fazio golf course and a higher overall price tier. It is a strong lifestyle choice for buyers who prioritize privacy, club amenities, and estate‑level homes over commute convenience.
