Multi-Family Homes & Duplexes for Sale in Knik River, Anchorage

The Knik River area is primarily undeveloped, with a scattered collection of remote log cabins and ranch-style homes, offering its residents seclusion and pristine landscapes 30 miles from Anchorage. “When I first came here, I felt this instant peace and calm,” says Laura “Lulu” Wilson, owner of Lulu’s Tent & Event Glamping in the Knik River area. “You’re right on the river, which is fed by the Knik Glacier with mountains all around.” Salmon fishing is a common hobby on the waterfront, and hiking trails wind through much of the region. Many locals keep greenhouses and small livestock, though they must rely on private wells and septic tanks instead of municipal utilities. Aside from Anchorage, locals can head to neighboring small towns like Palmer for groceries and restaurants. The quiet surroundings earn the community a Cap Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, compared to a national score of 4. Log cabins and small ranch-style homes are set close to the riverfront on half- or full-acre parcels, typically enveloped by mature pine forests that maximize privacy. Some use the extra space to keep chickens or other small livestock, while others are just looking to enjoy the quiet.
