A nature-filled South Anchorage neighborhood
Located on the South Anchorage coast and centered around Old Seward Highway, Old Seward-Oceanview is a fitting name for this suburban neighborhood known for its proximity to nature. "Some of these homes have inlet frontage or views. There are two different parks that both have walking trails, and you sometimes see moose or bears," says Alison Lane, a Realtor with RE/MAX Dynamic Properties who has sold homes in the neighborhood. "There's lots of wildlife. It's all coastal protected wildlife refuge. We have bald eagles and lots of seabirds." While nature might be the main draw to this community, residents are just a short drive from local restaurants, shops and some of the highest-rated schools in the Anchorage School District.

I lived in Oceanview for 11 years. It was great. Good people, nice neighborhood with shopping close by. Never had an issue, people watched out for each other and no crime what so ever. We were sad when we sold our house in Beachcomber Dr.
