Rogers Park is a classic American suburb with residential cul-de-sacs, sidewalks and modest front lawns. But it’s also right near MidtownAnchorage , 3 miles from Alaska’s largest downtown district. Though it’s not far from the heart of the city, lakes and trails are just a walk away, creating a blend of urban and rural lifestyles.
You’ll find single-family homes from the 1960s and ‘70s throughout the neighborhood. There are also a few townhouse communities and condos. Some common architectural styles include:
• Rustic midcentury modern builds
• Ranch-style homes, both single-story and raised
• Split-levels
• Bungalows
A house in Rogers Park typically starts in the mid-$300,000s and can reach the upper-$700,000s. “You’re talking a $350,000 house that needs renovating or a fully renovated $750,000 house,” says Realtor Gary Cox , known as the Alaska Real Estate King, with Real Estate Brokers of Alaska. Townhouses and condos are occasionally available for rent, with monthly prices ranging from $1,500 to about $3,000.
Children attend schools in the Anchorage School District, including the top-rated Rogers Park Elementary School. The district offers school choice through magnet programs, district-wide open enrollment and out-of-district transfers. Holy Rosary Academy, located closer to downtown, is a top-rated private option for students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. For higher education, Alaska Pacific University is 2 miles away.
The area has a lively suburban feel, where people are often out and about. “It’s a centrally located neighborhood, and every street has sidewalks and alleys — it’s a walking neighborhood with a real sense of community,” Cox says. “There are lots of people walking their dogs and with their kids.”
Though everyday amenities aren’t necessarily accessible by foot, commuting by car is quick and easy, especially with Alaska Route 1 running nearby. Downtown Anchorage is 3 miles away, the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is within 5 miles, and the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson military facility is 10 miles away.
The neighborhood is steps away from a greenway, so there are plenty of recreational options. The Chester Creek Trail is a 4-mile stretch that runs through the city, just along Rogers Park. “There’s trail access, so people can run, cross-country ski and bike,” says Melissa Worrell , an agent with Firebird Realty who has sold in the area for about 10 years. “There are lakes for kayaking, and you’re not far from the mountains or the Westchester Lagoon downtown.” Carlson Park is another outdoor space with a playground and athletic field, and Lake Otis is stocked with rainbow trout for fishing. You’re also 1 mile from Goose Lake Park, a popular spot for kayaking, walking the waterfront trails and relaxing on the beach during the summer. For those who enjoy skiing and snowboarding, Hilltop Ski Area is 8 miles away.
There are several shopping centers off Northern Lights and Benson boulevards within a 1- to 2-mile radius. For everyday necessities, you may visit:
• Fred Meyer for groceries
• Midtown Mall for retail, just across Seward Highway
• Midtown Farmers Market for regional goods in June through October
• Walmart Supercenter, 1 mile away
