Scenic views in a conveniently located neighborhood
With views of the sunrise over the Chugach Mountains and the sunset over the Sleeping Lady, South Addition is a scenic Anchorage neighborhood just a stone’s throw from downtown. Residents of this community enjoy its proximity to the city attractions plus its array of outdoor recreation. “It’s walking distance to downtown. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail connects to South Addition, and we have a park strip that runs for several blocks that separate the more residential South Addition from the downtown area,” says Connie Yoshimura, owner and broker of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Alaska Realty, who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. “Many of our restaurants are downtown, along with the museum and the performing arts center.” Delaney Park borders the neighborhood to the north, providing plenty of recreational space and acting as a buffer between the bustling downtown. Popular destinations such as the Anchorage Museum and highly rated local restaurants are just a few blocks further, making it easy for South Addition residents to take advantage of all that the city offers.

Enjoy Alaska's natural beauty in South Addition
South Addition residents have several parks and green spaces to enjoy the great outdoors within city limits. Delaney Park is a long rectangular city park with several amenities. This public space has a rose garden, a Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, the Anchorage Veterans’ Memorial and recreational facilities like tennis courts and a hockey rink. The park also has plenty of open space that can be used for picnics or soccer games. Westchester Lagoon is another popular destination in the neighborhood. This urban oasis has walking trails, playgrounds and a disc golf course. The lagoon is popular for activities like fishing, kayaking and birdwatching. The 11-mile Tony Knowles Coastal Trail passes through the lagoon, giving residents access to Anchorage’s most popular trail. The boardwalk on the lagoon’s west side offers pristine views of the Chugach Mountains to the east, while there are several points on the Coastal Trail where locals can view Mount Susitna—also known as the Sleeping Lady—to the west.

Desirable properties near downtown Anchorage

Most houses in the community are ranch-style, Craftsman or new traditional homes, with some condos and townhouses mixed in. Buyers can find homes that feel like a mountain retreat in the middle of the city, with wooden exteriors and yards covered with mature pine trees. Yoshimura says the neighborhood is one of the most sought-after in Anchorage. “From C Street over, you have continuing increases in value because the closer you get to the water, the more desirable the properties are,” she says. “It’s the most expensive area to live in as far as single-family homes are concerned.” Two-bedroom condos in South Addition typically cost between $250,000 and $500,000.
