Homer, AK Homes for Rent

Homer unfolds along the southwestern coast of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. The city is anchored by the Homer Spit, a narrow piece of land extending into the Kachemak Bay, lined with shops, galleries and weathered boardwalks. “It’s known as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, but it offers so much more, from world-class art and food to endless outdoor recreation,” says Homer resident and Realtor Gina Pelaia with Berkshire Hathaway. “You’ll find artists, fishermen, entrepreneurs, scientists and outdoor enthusiasts living side-by-side.” Additionally, Homer has big-box shopping and highway access, bringing convenience to an otherwise rugged, natural setting. Housing in this community mainly consists of single-family cabins and ranch-style homes, many with views of the bay or set among spruce-covered hillsides. The median price hovers around $450,000, just about the national figure. New Traditional and contemporary builds, often with custom designs, may surpass $1 million. Residential areas don’t follow a traditional grid or suburban pattern. Instead, homes are typically spread out across the landscape off country roads.
