The People Mover and two major highways
Public transportation is hard to access in Taku/Cambell, with the only option being Anchorage’s People Mover routes 35 and 85. Sidewalks are far and few, so many residents drive or bike to get around. The neighborhood’s central location puts it between Walter J. Hickel Parkway (also known as Minnesota Drive) and Seward Highway, two major commuting points, making it easy for locals to get to more dense areas, like Downtown Anchorage. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is about 5 miles west of Taku/Campbell, making travel easy for locals.
Shopping at Diamond Center
With close proximity to ample retail options and downtown Anchorage, residents have found that living here comes with a plethora of benefits.

In the neighborhood's southeast corner, residents shop at Diamond Center, a family-owned shopping center that features a bowling alley, ice rink and movie theater. The mall also features Anchorage market, the largest open-air market in the state. Every summer, locals visit the market to pick up fresh produce from local vendors and a quick bite from food trucks. For date night, Taku/Campbell residents grab dinner at reHARU Sushi. On weekends, many locals head to the Anchorage Brewing Company to grab fresh, frosty craft beer.

I love this area of town because it is close to everything and is extremely safe and beautiful. The people are very nice and everyone is welcoming. The area is close to trailers and parks, I've lived in the diamond area since I moved to Alaska.

I never see the police. We did have a teenager that was a trouble maker and the police would come in the neighborhood to check on him years ago. I haven't seen him around and we rarely ever get cops in the neighborhood.

Everyone is great here, super friendly and out going people. I grew up here with lots of friends never having to worry about being in danger. Its a great place to live but there are better places to live. Its a small neighborhood so not a ton of people are around. I don't see this area changing much, its been the same since I was a little kids.
