Huffman O’Malley

Huffman O’Malley is one of the more affluent communities in Anchorage with median home values close to $400,000. The neighborhood contains a number of high-quality residential developments, but, at the same time, it's not far from lots of stores, restaurants, and parks.

Hillside

Not surprisingly, Hillside gets its name from the fact that it's on a set of hills. This is a great place to live if you love beautiful views and even more beautiful sunsets. It's also a great place to live if you enjoy watching wildlife as there is plenty of it around. You'll further find homes with large yards, and the schools are really great.
