Alpine Meadows is 36 miles south of Jackson on newly renovated Highway
89 through scenic Snake River Canyon. A public ‘express’ bus
is in operation between the two towns for those who commute
to the Jackson area. Jackson also has an airport with year-round service
to several large cities in the region, including Salt Lake City and Denver.
Properties within Alpine Meadows enjoy a system of paved roads and
bike paths. Several large and small tracts of open space have been preserved for public recreation and as wildlife
migration corridors. Property owners
are part of the Alpine Meadows Property Owners’ Association, whose annual dues pay for road maintenance, including snow plowing
and repairs of common roads, as well as continued up-keep of the open
spaces.
Each lot has immediate access to utilities. Telecommunications
are provided by SilverStar Communications. Water and sewer are
provided by North Star Utility. Utility rates are not included in the
homeowners’ dues.
The Design Guidelines and CC&Rs provide flexibility to lot owners while still ensuring that the neighborhood
retains its community
appeal. For example, these rules also restrict the time that large vehicles
may be parked in the neighborhood and preclude horses from being stabled
on the property. However, independent storage units and stables are within
walking and driving distance.
The east side of the development includes includes three commercial
spaces for ‘mixed’ use.
Efforts are taken to promote
occupancy by tenants who offer goods or services that complement the neighborhood.
The town of Alpine contains several restaurants, a large, modern grocery
store, and many other commercial operations. The towns of Thayne and Afton
to the south contain additional, larger commercial districts.
Alpine Meadows is situated within walking distance of Palisades Reservoir,
which offers world-class fishing and other water sports.
Northern Lincoln County and nearby Teton and Sublette Counties are renowned
for their natural beauty and numerous wildlife. From hiking and hunting
to snowmobiling and skiing, the wilderness around Alpine has recreation
and scenery for everyone.
