Kimball Junction

Welcome to Kimball Junction

Kimball Junction sits at the intersection of I-80 and Highway 224, where commercial development, newer residential neighborhoods, and convenient access to both Park City and Salt Lake City create a practical hub for full-time living. This is where buyers find condos starting around $400,000, townhomes and single-family homes ranging from $700,000 to $2 million+, all with walkable shopping, dining, and the shortest commute times in the Park City area. The TJ Walsh Group works with buyers who want modern construction, daily conveniences, and location flexibility without paying resort-area premiums or sacrificing mountain views.

What Life Looks Like In Kimball Junction

Kimball Junction feels developed and accessible, with residential neighborhoods positioned around commercial centers offering grocery stores, restaurants, and services within walking distance or short drives. The pace is active and practical, attracting young professionals, families with kids, and full-time residents who prioritize convenience and employment access over ski-in/ski-out living or resort atmosphere. Most neighbors include remote workers, Salt Lake City commuters, Park City service industry employees, and families seeking quality schools with reasonable housing costs.

• Redstone Shopping Center anchors the area with Whole Foods, restaurants, retail stores, and entertainment options all within the neighborhood.
• Newpark Town Center provides additional dining, movie theaters, medical offices, and services in a walkable mixed-use development.
• I-80 access makes Salt Lake City commuting realistic at 25 to 30 minutes, the shortest drive time from any Park City area location.
• Park City Mountain Resort sits about 10 minutes away via free shuttle or personal vehicle, close enough for regular skiing.
• Newer construction dominates, with most homes and condos built in the last 10 to 20 years featuring modern systems and finishes.
• Community atmosphere is transient compared to established neighborhoods, with renters, part-time residents, and full-timers mixing throughout developments.

The elevation here sits around 6,700 feet, slightly lower than Park City's resort core, providing milder winters and easier year-round access. Buyers who choose Kimball Junction typically value practicality, walkability to services, and commute convenience over resort prestige or established neighborhood character.
