A growing community outside of Anchorage
The neighborhood of Abbott Loop is a bridge between the city of Anchorage and the dynamic natural beauty of the Chugach Mountains. A suburban community less than 8 miles from downtown, Abbott Loop offers a range of entry points into highly rated schools, convenient shopping and dining and abounding parkland for both exploration and exercise. “There’s a real pride of ownership in Abbott Loop,” says Sarah Kathryn Bryan, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “You can tell the homes are well maintained.” Bryan lives and works in Anchorage, and notes that Abbott Loop residents are highly engaged in local politics, applying the care they give to their homes to the rest of the community.
Affordable options in suburban Abbott Loop
In Abbott Loop, buyers can find quiet cul-de-sacs of townhouses and single-family homes built from the 1980s to the present. "It's a very desirable area,” says Sandra Nunes, a Realtor with RE/MAX Dynamic Realty with more than 20 years of experience. Abbott Loop is “good for first-time buyers because it has a lot of budget-friendly homes and condos available.” Older, two-bedroom condos and townhouses in the southwest corner of Abbott Loop can start around $160,000, with newer, larger units throughout the neighborhood selling above $350,000. Here, ranch-style homes, New Traditionals and sloped-roof split-levels are common, often with two-car garages and fenced backyards large enough for a shed for sleds or tools. Two-bedroom builds can start above $250,000, though most homes hover around $375,000. Brand-new construction with sleek modern stylings can climb above $400,000. Those looking to capitalize on this expanding community can purchase vacant lots; a quarter of an acre sells around $100,000.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
