Affordable options in suburban Abbott Loop
In Abbott Loop, buyers can find quiet cul-de-sacs of townhouses and single-family homes built from the 1980s to the present. "It's a very desirable area,” says Sandra Nunes, a Realtor with RE/MAX Dynamic Realty with more than 20 years of experience. Abbott Loop is “good for first-time buyers because it has a lot of budget-friendly homes and condos available.” Older, two-bedroom condos and townhouses in the southwest corner of Abbott Loop can start around $160,000, with newer, larger units throughout the neighborhood selling above $350,000. Here, ranch-style homes, New Traditionals and sloped-roof split-levels are common, often with two-car garages and fenced backyards large enough for a shed for sleds or tools. Two-bedroom builds can start above $250,000, though most homes hover around $375,000. Brand-new construction with sleek modern stylings can climb above $400,000. Those looking to capitalize on this expanding community can purchase vacant lots; a quarter of an acre sells around $100,000.

Steps from Chugach State Park
Residents have access to well-kept community parks and some of the most stunning and expansive parkland in the nation. Within Abbott Loop, Whisper Faith Kovach Park has ample space for kids and dogs to play, with a refurbished playground and two fenced-in fields for small and larger dogs. Abbott Loop Community Park has forested trails, baseball and soccer fields and a central shelter with a fireplace. For locals looking for a deeper delve into nature, the neighborhood is adjacent to Chugach State Park, among the largest state parks in the U.S. Chugach offers nearly every form of outdoor recreation, including hiking, skiing and kayaking. In the summer and early fall, people from around the region flock to the park to pick wild blueberries around Eklutna Lake.

Access to highly rated Anchorage schools
Neighborhood children are split between Kasuun Elementary, which has a B from Niche, and Trailside Elementary, rated a B-plus. They continue on to B-minus-rated Hanshew Middle, which is one of the most diverse middle schools in Alaska, according to Niche. Service High has an A-minus and a Biomedical Career Academy. Students there have organized many after-school activities, including clubs for crochet and knitting, environmental activism and Dungeons and Dragons, in addition to more traditional organizations such as Model United Nations. Families seeking a private option can send kids to Pacific Northern Academy through eighth grade. The school is within the neighborhood and has a 7:1 student-teacher ratio.

With Alaska Route 1 hugging the neighborhood, residents have a mere 7-mile drive to museums, restaurants and offices downtown. Anchorage International Airport is 6 miles away, and Alaska Regional Hospital is just over 5 miles north of Abbott Loop.Catching up with neighbors at Midnight Sun Brewing
Locals don’t have to travel for dining and shopping options. The neighborhood is home to Anchorage’s oldest brewery, Midnight Sun Brewing, serving signature IPAs and Belgian ales in an industrial setting. Visitors can order lunch, dinner or weekend brunch from The Loft, the brewery’s eclectic onsite restaurant. Abbott Loop is also home to fast food staples and a Fred Meyer grocery store.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
