Common questions / Hideout, Utah

Common questions.
Plain answers.

What buyers ask about the homes, Phase IV, visiting, buying and ownership at Shoreline. Prices, availability, plans and specifications are subject to change; confirm a specific home with our team.

01 / The homes

What you are buying.

What is a twinhome?

A twinhome is one of two homes built side by side with a shared wall. Each Shoreline twinhome has its own entrance, two-car garage and lot. Phase III homes are part of a planned unit development rather than condominiums. The primary suite, kitchen and living room share one floor. Owners and the association share maintenance responsibilities; our team can explain the split for the home you are considering.

See the Phase III plans
What are the Phase III floor plans, and how big are they?

The Phase III plans include the Vista (4 bedrooms, about 3,601 interior sq ft), the Peak (4 bedrooms, about 2,879 interior sq ft) and the Skyline (4 bedrooms, about 3,981 interior sq ft). The Vista and Skyline have main-floor living. The Peak has its living floor one flight above the garage. All three include covered outdoor space and an oversized, insulated two-car garage. The three-bedroom Outlook is sold out. Sizes are approximate and exclude garages and covered outdoor areas. Check the map for current availability.

Compare the Phase III plans
What do the homes cost?

Phase III plans start from $1,579,000. We list prices for available homes, with no separate lot premiums. Each price reflects the home and its views. Ask our team to confirm the price, availability and included features of a specific home. Phase IV homes will be priced below Phase III. Prices will be announced before release.

Which Phase III plans have main-floor living?

The Vista and Skyline. Their garage, kitchen, living room and primary suite are on one level, with more bedrooms and living space downstairs. In the Peak, the garage, laundry, two bedrooms and family room are on the entry level. Its kitchen, living room, primary suite and fourth bedroom are one floor up. Every Phase III home has two levels. Entry conditions vary, so ask about access and tour the home you are considering.

Are the model finishes included in every home?

Finishes and features vary by home. The model and photographs show existing Shoreline homes, but some selections may differ from the home you buy. Our team can show you its included finishes and options. Phase IV renderings show concepts; final finishes are still to be confirmed.

How are the homes built for mountain winters?

Phase III homes have R-23 wall insulation, taped ZIP System® sheathing and a ventilated double cold roof. Ice-and-water shield covers the entire roof. Air flows between the two roof decks to carry heat away, helping reduce the melting and refreezing that can cause ice dams. Owners still need to watch for ice buildup and maintain the home through winter.

What do the HERS scores mean?

HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System. Lower scores mean less modeled energy use. Third-party ratings for the Phase III plans are Peak 56, Skyline 59, Outlook 59 and Vista 60. These represent about 40 to 44 percent less modeled energy use than the 2006 reference home. HERS helps compare energy performance; it does not predict your utility bill. Phase IV homes will receive their own ratings after testing.

Understand the HERS rating
Is HERS the same as ENERGY STAR®?

No. HERS is a numerical energy-performance rating. ENERGY STAR is a separate certification program with its own requirements. Phase III homes carry both a third-party HERS rating and ENERGY STAR certification.

Will a score of 60 cut my bills by 40%?

A score of 60 represents roughly 40% less modeled energy use than the HERS reference home. It does not promise a 40% reduction in your utility bills. Actual use and cost depend on the specific home, local rates, weather and household habits.

Does every home in a plan have the same score?

A HERS rating belongs to a particular home. Orientation, selected features and construction testing can affect the result. The Phase III plan scores are useful context; request the completed certificate for the home you want to purchase.

How can I verify a home’s score?

Ask our team for the home’s HERS rating certificate. You can also look up a rated home by address in the RESNET HERS rated-home registry at hersindex.com.

What warranty comes with a home?

Phase III homes include a one-year limited builder warranty on workmanship and materials from closing, plus a ten-year limited structural warranty through Quality Builders Warranty, backed by Liberty Mutual. The builder’s one-year warranty applies to the original purchaser and is not transferable. Structural coverage does not cover every part of the home for ten years. Review the Quality Builders Warranty documents with our team for structural coverage, exclusions and transfer terms, and ask how to request service.

02 / Phase IV

What comes next.

When is Phase IV coming?

The first release is anticipated in early 2027. Designs and timing are preliminary and may change. Join the Phase IV release list for announcements about homes, prices and availability.

Join the Phase IV release list
What are the Phase IV plans?

Six townhome designs by KTGY, a renowned, award-winning architecture firm: Kestrel, Swift, Falcon, Heron, Osprey and Eagle. Standard layouts have 3 to 5 bedrooms and about 1,573 to 3,029 interior square feet, each with a rooftop deck. Three designs step up the hillside from the street; three step down. Layouts, dimensions and features are preliminary and may change before release.

Explore the proposed Phase IV plans
What will Phase IV homes cost?

Phase IV homes will be priced below Phase III. Prices will be announced before release. The first release is anticipated in early 2027. Join the release list to hear when pricing is available.

How large will Phase IV be?

Phase IV is planned for up to 232 townhomes. That maximum assumes the smallest floor plan throughout. The mix will include larger homes and models, so the final number will be lower. Phase IV covers 25.74 acres. The first 14 homes are planned on Groves Edge Drive, and the first four homes are planned as models. Home numbers and plan assignments on the Phase IV map are preliminary; they are not recorded lot numbers or confirmed home offers.

See the Phase IV map
Are Phase III and Phase IV the same homes?

No. Phase III has two-level twinhomes. The Vista and Skyline have main-floor living; the Peak has its living floor one flight above the garage. The Outlook is sold out. Phase IV introduces six new townhome designs across several levels, each with a rooftop deck.

What should I confirm for Phase IV?

Ask about the proposed release, home configuration, final floor plans, finishes, construction specifications, unfinished areas and anticipated delivery. The first release is anticipated in early 2027; that is not a promised move-in date. Plans and timing are preliminary and subject to change.

03 / Visiting and buying

From a visit to a closing.

Can I visit without an appointment?

Yes. Stop by Monday–Saturday, 11am–5pm. There is no need to call ahead. Tour the Skyline model and talk with our team about the homes you like. If you are out of state, ask for a video tour of the model and neighborhood.

Plan a visit
What is available in Phase III?

Availability changes as homes sell. The Phase III map shows which homes are available, which are future releases and which is the model home, and our sales team keeps it current. Confirm a specific home with us before you decide.

Open the Phase III map
How does buying a home at Shoreline work?

Start by choosing a home with our sales team, then review and sign the purchase contract. For Phase III, financed purchases require lender pre-qualification and loan approval by the contract deadlines; cash buyers provide proof of funds. Your deposit goes toward the purchase price at settlement and is nonrefundable except as the contract allows. If the home is still under construction, you choose finishes at the design center. Before closing, you have a walk-through and homeowner orientation. The escrow agent handles settlement, and closing is complete when the deed is recorded and funds are disbursed. Our team explains the terms and deadlines along the way.

Can I use my own real estate agent?

Yes. Agents representing buyers are welcome at Shoreline. Homes are sold by the on-site sales team, represented by Rocklin Real Estate, and the page for real estate agents explains how to plan a buyer visit.

For real estate agents
Are the renderings, maps and floor plans exact?

They help you compare homes, but they are not exact representations of every property. Dimensions and square footage are approximate. Views, orientation and features vary by home. Community maps are illustrations, not surveys. Phase IV designs, home numbers and plan assignments are preliminary. Ask our team for the current details of the home you are considering.

Are the homes and the model step-free?

The model home and all Phase III and Phase IV plans are multilevel. In the Vista and Skyline, the garage, primary suite and daily living share one level; in the Peak, they are one floor above the garage. Entry conditions and access vary by home. Tell us in advance if you need step-free access for a visit.

04 / Ownership

After the keys.

Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?

Yes. Phase III is served by three associations: the Shoreline Phase III Owners Association, the Shoreline Master Owners Association for shared community areas, and the Community Preservation Association for the wider Hideout Canyon development. The Phase III association represents its owners in both master associations. Each phase has its own association to maintain its type of home; Phase III roof maintenance is an association responsibility. An association is also planned for Phase IV. Ask our team for current dues and the responsibilities for exteriors, landscaping, snow removal and insurance, along with any approval needed for changes to your home.

What association costs are due at closing?

For Phase III, buyers pay a $1,295 initial association assessment at settlement to help fund reserves. Buyers are also responsible for dues from settlement onward. This amount is current as of October 2026 and is subject to change. Your settlement statement shows the actual charges for your home.

How are property taxes assessed?

The Wasatch County Assessor values your property, and the County Treasurer collects the tax. Utah uses the property’s condition on January 1, so a home completed later in the year is assessed as a completed home the following year. Qualifying primary residences receive a 45% exemption and are taxed on 55% of market value. Second homes do not receive that exemption. The county may ask for a signed residency declaration. Taxes are divided between buyer and seller at settlement; for a new home, this is usually an estimate until the completed home is assessed. Contact the County Assessor for the value of a specific property. This is general information, not tax advice.

Are rentals allowed?

Rentals shorter than 30 days are not allowed at Shoreline. The community is intended for owners and longer-term residents. Before arranging a longer lease, confirm the minimum term and other rental rules for your phase with our team.

Are pets allowed?

Yes. Household pets such as dogs, cats, birds and fish are allowed, up to three animals per home. Livestock, poultry and reptiles are not allowed. Owners must clean up after their pets. Ask our team for current rules on leashes, registration and noise for your phase.

Can I keep a boat, trailer or RV at the home?

Boats, trailers, campers and RVs require association permission to be parked or stored in the community. Garages, driveways and designated spaces are intended for operable cars, motorcycles, noncommercial trucks and vans. Temporary parking on public streets is subject to the association’s rules. Check the current rules with our team before planning to keep a larger vehicle here.

Who clears the snow?

Owners clear their own driveways. The Town of Hideout plows streets it has accepted as public roads; the association handles other community roads. For Phase IV, snow hauling by the association is planned when designated storage areas fill; final arrangements remain to be confirmed. Remove snow and ice from concrete promptly. Avoid road salt and de-icers, which can damage the surface; that damage is not covered by the warranty.

What utilities serve the homes?

Phase III is served by Rocky Mountain Power for electricity, Enbridge Gas for natural gas and the Town of Hideout for water and sewer. Internet subscriptions are available from Utah Broadband or All West Communications. Wasatch Public Works handles trash pickup, and the Kamas Post Office handles mail. Set up utility accounts in your name for settlement. Confirm providers and available services for your address, especially in Phase IV.

Is fiber internet included?

Fiber-optic internet is available at Shoreline through local providers, with plans up to 1 gig. Service is a subscription with the provider, not part of the home; confirm availability at the specific address and current plans and pricing with the provider or our team.

What happens after I close?

You receive an invitation to schedule a walk-through about 90 days after closing and another near the end of your first year. A construction representative reviews the home, maintenance questions and warranty concerns with you. Routine care includes replacing furnace filters, checking weather stripping and caulking, watching for leaks and keeping drainage clear. Send warranty requests to warranties@gcdcommunities.com.

05 / The community

Hideout, the park and the lake.

Who builds and sells Shoreline?

GCD Communities has built in the Park City area for nearly 20 years: Park’s Edge, Rustler (88 homes) and now Shoreline. Shoreline’s on-site sales team handles home sales, represented by Rocklin Real Estate. Equal Housing Opportunity.

About GCD Communities
How many phases does Shoreline have?

Four. Phase I has 50 townhomes and Phase II has 102, both complete and sold, with the 2.5-acre park in Phase II. Phase III is 47 twinhomes in four plans and is almost sold out. Phase IV is planned for up to 232 townhomes, a maximum that assumes every home is the smallest plan, so the final number will be lower; its first release is anticipated early 2027.

Explore the neighborhood map
Which community amenities are open?

The 2.5-acre park in Phase II is complete, with walking paths and an aspen grove. A village center with a clubhouse and pool is planned for partway through Phase IV. Its design and details are preliminary. Building it later allows more homeowners to share the cost and helps avoid a large increase in HOA dues for the first owners. Ask our team for its current status.

See the community amenities
Is Shoreline on the water?

Shoreline sits directly above Jordanelle State Park, with open state-park land between the neighborhood and the water. The state park is public land that Shoreline does not control, and it is not a future Shoreline phase. Ross Creek offers north-shore trails and non-motorized lake access, and views vary by home and are not guaranteed.

See the area and directions
Is Shoreline part of MIDA?

No. Shoreline is outside MIDA’s project area, including all of Phase IV. Shoreline is in the Town of Hideout. Property taxes here support local taxing entities, including the school district, county and town; no share goes to MIDA. MIDA’s additional resort sales tax does not apply at Shoreline.

MIDA stands for Military Installation Development Authority. It is an independent state entity created by the Utah Legislature, with a board appointed by the governor and legislative leaders. Its project area near Jordanelle includes Deer Valley’s East Village and the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley. MIDA manages land use in much of that area and uses designated tax revenue to support infrastructure and public services. An additional resort sales tax applies within the project area.

Other communities around Jordanelle, including some within Hideout, are inside the MIDA project area. The boundary matters for each property; a Hideout address alone does not tell you whether a home is in MIDA. East Village skiing, dining and recreation are open to the public.

Being outside MIDA does not by itself mean lower property taxes. Rates and boundaries can change. Confirm details for a specific property with Wasatch County or your advisor.

How far is Shoreline from Park City and the airport?

About 15 minutes to Historic Main Street in Park City by car, and about 10 minutes to Deer Valley East Village, with Jordanelle State Park just below. Approximately 45 minutes to Salt Lake City International Airport by car, by way of U.S. 40 and Interstate 80. Travel times are estimates and vary with traffic, weather and your destination.

See the location page
Which schools serve Hideout?

Hideout is in Wasatch County, which is served by the Wasatch County School District. The district approved new middle and high school boundaries in November 2025, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district.
