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.
Why live in Anchorage, AK?
Apartment living in Anchorage is perfect for people who like an intimate social life with familiar people. The small town experience is at your finger tips. You can choose a favorite hangout and form sturdy friendships with the people you meet there. The outdoors is within walking distance of the front door of your apartment.
