A conveniently located, established community

Surrounded by wilderness to the east and the highway to the north, Northeast Anchorage is a scenic, conveniently located neighborhood that gives residents access to all that the city offers. "I would say the location is the main draw. It's a great location within Anchorage. If you're heading downtown, it's right there, less than a five-minute drive. If you're heading to the military base, it's convenient," says Janis Tolbert, an associate broker and realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Service Alaska Realty, who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. Living in Northeast Anchorage puts residents just minutes away from the popular attractions and activities of downtown while still providing daily needs and recreational opportunities at home.

With scenic vistas to the east and a major highway to the north, NE Anchorage is sought after.

Local and national retailers in the neighborhood

Residents of Northeast Anchorage have easy access to all of their shopping and dining needs. The community is centered around a Walmart Supercenter and Fred Meyer at the intersection of DeBarr Road and Muldoon Road, where locals can pick up groceries and other household items. Just north of Glenn Highway is Tikahtnu Commons, an outdoor shopping center with stores like Target, Burlington, Lowe's and Costco. Residents can catch hit movies at Regal Tikahtnu or dine at popular chain restaurants like Texas Roadhouse and Olive Garden. For one of the most popular restaurants in town, residents can hop on Glenn Highway for a quick 5-mile drive to Lucky Wishbone. "Not only is the chicken really nicely fried, but they have homemade strawberry milkshakes. Maybe not everyone is a strawberry shake person, but OMG. You get real pieces of strawberry in there," Tolbert says. For other downtown options—like Glacier Brewhouse, 49th State Brewing and Simon & Seafort’s Saloon & Grill—residents can make the quick 5-mile drive along Glenn Highway.

Established homes at the foot of the mountains

Buyers can find various housing styles in Northeast Anchorage, but midcentury ranch-style homes are among the most common. "There are older, quaint homes in there. They've got a lot of homes that were built in the 1950s and 1960s," Tolbert says. The area has a suburban feel, but some homes are situated on larger lots that offer more privacy and room for activities. In the neighborhood's more secluded and forested parts, buyers can find A-frame log cabins surrounded by mature pines. Many homes in the neighborhood offer a glimpse of the towering Chugach Mountains to the east. Buyers can find three-bedroom homes for $350,000 to $500,000. Four-bedroom houses typically cost between $400,000 and $600,000.
