Old Seward-Oceanview unfolds along the waterfront in South Anchorage, offering a blend of suburban living and immediate access to outdoor recreation. Here, historic and modern homes sit within short reach of several parks, including Kincaid Sand Dunes Park. Quick commutes also lead to various shopping and dining options, as well as access to Route 1.
Ocean View Bluff Park is one of several green spaces within walking distance. “It’s a favorite local spot, especially in the winter when it becomes a popular sledding hill for families,” Pelaia says. “During the rest of the year, it’s a peaceful place for walking or taking in expansive views of Cook Inlet, with sunsets that never get old.” She also notes nearby Kincaid Sand Dunes Park as another hub for outdoor fun. “It’s an epic, rare mix of rolling sand dunes, forest and coastline that feels worlds away from the city. It’s popular year-round for walking, biking, skiing and simply exploring the landscape that’s unlike anywhere else in Anchorage.” Locals also enjoy salmon fishing, and you can cast a line at Ship Creek throughout the year when the runs are open.
The neighborhood’s wide, tree-lined residential streets feature homes built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These range from ranch and split-level styles to New Traditional and contemporary styles. “Thanks to the neighborhood’s waterfront location, many homes – particularly those along the bluff or elevated lots – enjoy views across the water toward the Turnagain Arm and surrounding mountains, giving the area a distinctly coastal feel,” says Gina Pelaia, an associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Alaska Realty. Most homes sell between the low $300,000s and the upper $600,000s. However, prices for larger, more recently built homes can exceed $700,000 and reach up to around $1 million. Townhomes are also available, and range in price from the upper $100,000s to the upper $300,000s.
Within the community, residents pick up groceries from Carrs and daily essentials from Walgreens. Shopping developments located off the Old Seward Highway, a couple of miles north, offer big-box stores such as Walmart Supercenter and Sportsman’s Warehouse. Several nearby restaurants also offer a variety of dining options.
Within just a few miles of home, you can:
Anchorage School District serves children across the community, through schools like the highly rated Ocean View Elementary School and the top-rated South Anchorage High School. However, the district offers a school choice program, allowing students to attend any school within the district, as well as virtual and part-time options.
Residents can hop on Route 1, directly east, for a 10-mile commute into downtown Anchorage. Pelaia says that getting around the city is relatively easy, and Anchorage People Mover buses service stops in the neighborhood. Providence Alaska Medical Center, the state’s largest hospital, and Stevens Anchorage International Airport are both 8 miles away.
