AKfreighter makes a very good (and often overlooked) point about the Southern exposure. Take a close look at what is to the South of your house -- like mountains. I lived in Eagle River in a subdivision that wasn't far from the river (100 yds.), there is a fairly good size mountain just to the south of ER. I lived in a shadow for the limited amount of daylight in the winter months, from October to March. That's on the sunny days. But the view down Eagle River Valley was phenomenal. I would move back in a heartbeat, but my wife's been there done that, got the t-shirt and refuses to go back. Good luck.

Lived in Bootleggers Cove for 4 years near the downtown and loved every minute of it. I never have lived so well in my life as there.
I hope someday to position myself for a return. Must slug it out here in Europe until then...
Good luck,
Lifter

That's hilarious because its true. I heard a couple years ago that the WalMart in Wasilla sells more blue tarps and duct tape than any other. Just drive through Wasilla neighborhoods, it seems to be holding the whole area together.

How about living farther north of Wasilla such as Willow. I have seen some nice homes on Lake Nancy for sale. Would the commute be too challenging even if I only need to make it 3 to 4 times a month? Thanks in advance for the advice.
