Scenic views from the mountainside in south Anchorage
With each switchback on Rabbit Creek's winding, hilly roads, the views of Anchorage below get better and better. Those who live near the top of the neighborhood get a constant reminder each time they step out their front door of why they chose this residential community in southeast Anchorage. "There are nice views in the area and lots of trails, which is another big plus. It has great access to the Chugach Mountains," says Elizabeth Hooper, a Realtor with RE/MAX Dynamic Properties, who has sold several homes in Rabbit Creek. "It's an area where a lot of people want their kids to go to school. There's a lot of new construction. Some of the areas, specifically the Goldenview subdivision, have public water and sewer, which is unique for Hillside properties." Part of the greater Hillside community of Anchorage, Rabbit Creek is located just east of Seward Highway, offering a blend of wilderness adventure and city convenience.

Exploring the natural beauty of the Chugach Mountains
Rabbit Creek offers several ways to get outside and enjoy the scenery of Anchorage. Potter Marsh, and its 1,500-foot boardwalk, is a wildlife viewing area on the neighborhood's west side that faces the Turnagain Arm. The marsh is home to birds like Canada geese, northern pintails and eagles. Animals like muskrats and moose are also known to frequent this area. Ray E. Storck Homestead Park is a more traditional city park with a playground, baseball field and picnic shelter. This green space also has open fields that can be used for flying remote-controlled aircraft. With the Chugach Mountains and Chugach State Park east of the neighborhood, there are several natural areas to explore. The highly trafficked Rabbit Creek Trail begins at the end of Canyon Road, about a 7-mile drive from the neighborhood. This trail leads 4.4 miles to Rabbit Lake, a scenic mountain spot where visitors can have a picnic or sit and enjoy the views.
