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,
Nozz

Wasilla. Next to the Palins could be very exciting. Brawls, lots of kids, maybe some boozing. It's a nice mix out there of those Wild Alaska shows and Cops. Good luck!

There are plenty but I would also make you aware that it ones with Southern exposures command a premium.

WM (PS---I'm clearly bored on a layover)

That action could've been one heartbeat away from the Presidency!! Keep it classy, Wasilla!

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.

Muldoon is kind of a sketchy area. Make sure you look in S. Anchorage on the flats...Oceanview, etc. Also check out the area between Spenard, the water and the airport. Some nice areas down there.

I've read that about Muldoon. It seems very pocketed.
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.

Unfortunately, that's pretty typical of ANC. You'll get more bang for your buck out in the MatSu valley. The trade off is the commute, the Bible bangers and gun nuts that live out there.

Got any advice on where to move to avoid the coloreds, ragheads, chinks, or spicks? Just want to check the moderators to see what they find offensive.
