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.

Alaska is a great place to live.....flew the bush there for a while. Full of social rejects, alcoholics, anarchist and high numbers of people with abundant mental disorders....Most of which go untreated. Its cold as a witches clit....and the further north towards the slope you go it gets darker are more suicidal. That state tends to attract some odd ball people.

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. 10min from base gates, 5min from Costco (critical), 2min from Carr's, 20-25min from the airport, 45min to Alyeska, 2min walk to Ft Rich land. If you're interested, PM me. |

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.
Yeah, parts of it are sketchy but honestly, there's no place in Anchorage that I ever felt uncomfortable walking at just about any time of the day. Most crime is idiot on idiot it seems and doesn't often involve virtuous folk such as ourselves. That being said, it always pays to keep your head on a swivel and your brain engaged. If for no other reason that the copious numbers of bears and moose living in town! |
Less than $400K!? You either have found the best priced home in a decent neighborhood or have low standards for homes and/or personal safety. If you want a "lower 48" house you'll be spending a good deal more than $400K, or you'll adopt the Alaskan ideal that a home just a box you sleep in and spend most of your money on a remote cabin, snow machines, at least one airplane, guns, a boat, good winter gear, good fishing gear, etc. you get the idea. Most of my friends that are truely happy up here have spent more cash on "stuff" than on a house. Alaska is awesome. Anchorage blows. The best part about anchorage is alaska is only 50 miles away.

Well, there are new condo's in jewel lake area, three stories high over looking Campbell lake. They run 369,000 to 389,000 not including upgrades. I know nonsense but gosh the views! Plus it is a lot of money! Not many many new home builds, would give it a chance if you work for Ups or FedEx! :)
