JACKSON HOLE AREA GUIDE
TOWN OF JACKSON
The Town of Jackson was named in 1894 after Davey Jackson, who spent a winter in the late 1800s on Jackson Lake. Today, residents like to think of Jackson as the heart of the valley. Town is one of the most fun places to enjoy the Jackson Hole lifestyle with a bustling arts and culinary scene. Properties in town range from one bedroom condos to large family residences all within walking or biking distance to the town square.

The area north of the Town of Jackson towards the airport, most commonly known for the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, which boasts a blend of the rugged west and a Robert Trent-Jones II -designed golf course. As you continue north, the area features subdivisions, such as Solitude and Upper and Lower Cascade as well as properties in Moran, Wyoming, which offer full views of the Teton Mountains. Many of these subdivisions are tucked off main roads and have Snake River access.
SOUTH OF JACKSON
The area known as South Park is the open expanse of land that spreads south from Jackson Hole High School and High School Road. South Park offers property that can feel separated from town, but is quite convenient to the bike path and services of town.
