For families and quality of life, you can't beat i

I was prompted to join this website and write a review on Park City based on the other two reviews posted. I have lived in Park City 4 years and started my family here, which by now has grown by two boys. Yes, cost of living is somewhat higher than the U.S. "average", but, hello, we live in the mountains, in a ski town! Compared to other similar areas (ie; Colorado, where we lived previously) the cost of living is less.
I have found a very large, strong, and active group of middle class families that live and work here full time (not ski bums!)and are not just surviving but thriving and loving it! Our friends and ourselves are very middle class and I can assure you, have jobs with good wages and living in nice homes. There is definitely an "in-between". Plus we have the amazing benefits of every outdoor activity imaginable right outside our doors! I have literally lived in states all over this country and for raising my family and enjoying quality of life, Park City, UT beats out every one, hands down!
P.S. the alcohol laws are really not that big a deal to work around. And by the way, Colorado also serves 3.2% beer! When you are at our altitude, you won't even notice a difference!
