Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Park City in Utah cater to the ultrawealthy with luxury homes and high living costs. In September 2024, Jackson Hole showcased ranch-style mansions and a cost of living 78% higher than the Wyoming average. Following this, a visit to Park City in January 2025 revealed similar vacation amenities, yet the livability varied. The experience provided insights into each community's lifestyle, determining that only one of these destinations resonated as a potential home.
In September 2024, I escaped the bustle of New York City to visit Wyoming's most luxurious valley, Jackson Hole, and got a peek at how the rich live.
I knew I was traveling to the most expensive place in Wyoming: Teton County, which encompasses Jackson Hole, with a cost of living 78% higher than the state's average.
A few months later, in January 2025, I visited Park City, the most expensive place in Utah, according to Realtor.com.
From a vacationer's point of view, the destinations were quite similar, but after learning about life in each area, only one seemed like a place I could move to.
