A mix of 20th-century homes and brand-new builds

The homes come in a variety of styles and are surrounded by trees that add a sense of privacy. “Buyers will find well-kept single-family residences alongside pockets of new construction and custom builds,” says Gina Pelaia, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alaska Realty, with nearly three decades of experience in the area.
