We're interested in the ANC area, but know very little besides what's on the forums. Besides south ANC and Eagle River (and a southern exposed house), what are the other areas with reasonable commutes (within 60 minutes)?
We're seeking more of a rural feel with great mountain views.
Thanks y'all,

Just rented a car yesterday and saw what some of you mean by southern exposure! I drove in the neighborhoods south of Eagle River Rd and wow, in the shade by 1:30pm already, no thanks! Great tip and glad I saw it for myself.
Shifting my focus around a little bit. I liked several neighborhoods off of Muldoon.

S. ANC is nice, but I am commuting to the Hilton (crew pickup), not the airport, and the traffic sucks up to downtown.
I am getting to the point of giving up on this as it seems any decent house in a decent neighborhood is pushing $400,000, which is just nonsense.
