Anchorage Overview
Stand up and walk out your front door. Go ahead. We’ll wait. Did you see any moose? Any black bears, grizzly bears, mountain goats or lynx? No? That’s because you don’t live in an apartment in Anchorage Alaska where mother nature is close enough to hit with a badly thrown rock. Anchorage has more going for it than nature (although some people won’t require any more). It has a good economy, ample job opportunities and recreation.
