In a recent survey, Wyoming scored third in a poll that rated variables such as mental, physical and economic health. Utah took first place and the islands of Hawaii took second. Combined with a low state unemployment rate, Wyoming is one of few states in the nation that can boast of such health and happiness.
Nestled in the center of the valley, the Town of Jackson keeps the Old-West alive with its wooden sidewalks, historic Town Square and buildings.
Jackson Hole is considered safe and friendly. With a low crime rate and a hospitable attitude, residents are community and civic- minded. A modern hospital, an airport with daily jet service to major airline hubs, a wide array of stores, wine shops and restaurants all offer the big-city comforts anyone could want, but without big-city attitude.
Jackson is one of the most scenic areas in the United States offering limitless opportunities to explore or to just sit back and enjoy the views. With Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks at its doorstep, 97% of the lands in and around Jackson Hole are permanently protected as conservation easements or as National Forest and BLM lands. It is comforting to know that today’s scenery will be preserved for future generations to come.
Like the Center for the Arts and an array of new cosmopolitan restaurants and galleries. The arts scene continues to thrive, with gallery shows, movies, wildlife festivals, live music and comedy, theater performances, and a steady stream of special exhibits at the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
To top off the benefits of Jackson and Wyoming - there is no state income tax.

The definition of art in the town and the surrounding valley of Jackson Hole has expanded with a popular international lm festival, dedicated state-of-the art studios, and organizations such as the Art Association.

Led by music director, Donald Runnicles, the summer line up includes a stunning festival orchestra each weekend as well as sought after visiting musicians from around the globe and delightful chamber music.
The ease of flight travel in and out of Jackson Hole is another reason this Rocky Mountain destination makes perfect sense for the purchase of Jackson Hole real estate, with non-stop flights from 13 major cities.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is America’s first national park. Located ninety miles north of Jackson, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world’s most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
On the north end of Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park preserves a spectacular landscape rich with majestic mountains, pristine lakes and extraordinary wildlife. In the winter, the park’s main roadway is plowed and open for winter travel from the town of Jackson to Flagg Ranch near Yellowstone National Park’s south boundary. The Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose is open year-round, except for December 25th.
Easily accessed by Jackson Hole, Bridger-Teton offers more than 3.4 million acres of public land for outdoor recreation enjoyment. With its pristine watersheds, abundant wildlife and immense wildlands, these forest lands comprise a large part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem – the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 States. Offering nearly 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness, over 30,000 miles of road and trails and thousands of miles of unspoiled rivers and streams, the Bridger- Teton offers something for everyone.
Did you know that only 3% of Teton County, Wyoming, is privately owned? This leaves 97 percent of Jackson Hole’s land protected as national parks and forests, so it’s easy to assume that elk, mule deer, antelope and other key wildlife species have plenty of room to roam between their winter and summer stomping grounds.
Jackson Hole is part of a much bigger, scientifcally important region, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and the tiny 3 percent of land here that is privately owned is part of a network of critical migration corridors through the ecosystem.
The Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy are on a mission to protect enough open space for the Yellowstone region’s wildlife to get where they need to go. Through conservation easements and other land-preservation tools, they are working acre by acre to protect important terrain ensuring our valley maintains it’s visually spectacular character and remains open for wildlife.
Jackson Hole is very tight in terms of real estate. The scarcity of remaining available land and limited land development going into the future, ensures the character and openness of our valley will always remain.
