The vibrant community of Downtown Anchorage
In the heart of Downtown Anchorage, you're at the center of small-town charm, outdoor opportunities and ample entertainment. "One of the biggest perks of living in downtown is your proximity to great dining, local retail and the Park Strip, which has a ton of activities and events," says Realtor Justin Milette of Aspire Realty Group. With its cozy bungalows, community-centric parks and plenty of dining, retail and entertainment, living in Downtown Anchorage is one of the best ways to enjoy all the city's offerings.
A renter-friendly market featuring diverse housing styles
Since downtown is primarily a commercial hub, you'll find that this is a largely renter-based market. New construction is scarce here, but condos overlooking the water are a significant feature. Just a few blocks over on the outskirts of downtown, you'll also find some established bungalows and cottages built in the early-to-mid 20th century. The homes tend to be constructed densely but feature ample backyard space for storage, entertainment or relaxation. Prices here are slightly more expensive than other Anchorage neighborhoods due to its prime location, ranging from $200,000 for a condo and up to $550,000 for a bungalow. But being within walking distance from downtown provides various dining and entertainment possibilities, making the price well worth it.
Education with the local Anchorage School District
Students living downtown will attend schools within the Anchorage School District, including Denali Elementary School. This school uniquely offers a public Montessori curriculum with individualized programming and a preschool. Romig Middle School provides academic, extracurricular activities, including a STEM Robotic Club and a nationally placed Mathletes team. West Anchorage High School is the area's best-rated, scoring above average for college readiness on Great Schools. Students here are offered a unique language immersion program with options in Spanish and Russian.
Downtown parks offer recreation and space for community events
You'll find a variety of parks downtown, with green spaces overlooking the water and distant mountains and urban parks known for their entertainment. Delaney Park is the community's largest park, also known as the Park Strip. Offering thirteen blocks of vast open fields, you'll find athletic fields, a seasonal ice rink, a rose garden, a playground and a giant steam locomotive you can explore. It's also home to seasonal, cultural, and charity events around the year, like The Anchorage Mile Run. Nearby is Town Square Park, a lovely urban park that's a great place to have lunch with a friend or hang out before a show at next door's Alaska Center for Performing Arts. The park is also home to an ice rink in the winter and concerts in the summer. If you want to watch the sunset behind Sleeping Lady Mountain, head to Elderberry Park. It's connected to the Coastal Trail that runs along the edge of the mud flats and offers gorgeous water views.
The dynamic local shopping and dining scene of Downtown Anchorage
Of course, if you live downtown, you're right in the heart of all the city offers. On the weekends, you can easily shop at Anchorage Fifth Avenue Mall, attend a play at Alaska Center for Performing Arts or spend the day browsing art, science and history exhibits at Anchorage Museum. There's also no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants here. Become a regular at Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop for a handcrafted espresso drink and house-made pastries or have an upscale dinner at Tent City Taphouse. When you want something more casual, grab a burger and beer with your trivia team at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse. With just a sampling of the area's offerings, you'll see that living here is a great way to easily access the best of Anchorage.
