Stretching across less than half a square mile, the Tudor Area is one of northeast Anchorage's smallest neighborhoods. But the community's closeness to the University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Pacific University, and the Providence Alaska Medical Center more than makes up for its pettiness.

Bound by East Tudor Road and the Seward Highway, this neighborhood's winding streets feature dozens of ranch-style and split-level houses from the 1960s and 1970s. Many of these houses have mid-century modern design elements like floor-to-ceiling windows, slanted rooflines, and, in some cases, a light blue or green exterior paint job that mimics the sky or trees surrounding them. They typically sit atop 7,000 to 10,000-square-foot lots with plenty of mature trees that often tower overhead. These houses fetch $350,000 to $650,000, depending on their condition. A two-bedroom unit at one of the condominium complexes in the neighborhood's northeast corner will fetch just under $200,000.

Perhaps the Tudor Area's most prominent feature is the 14-acre Helen Louise McDowell Sanctuary, which came from an effort to preserve a section of the Fish Creek wetlands on the neighborhood's southwest corner that had survived the city's rapid residential and commercial development. Visitors to the sanctuary have logged seeing more than 46 species of birds while walking down its mile-long boardwalk. The eight-year-old timber playground at David Green Park awaits children of all ability levels on East 36th Street.

Children who live in one of the Tudor Area's western subdivisions will attend Roger's Park Elementary School, which received an A- on Niche.com and was ranked the state's 13th-best public elementary school. They'll move on to Wendler Middle School and East High School, which received a B+ on the website. Children living on the neighborhood's east side will attend Lake Otis Elementary School before moving on to Wendler and East. These four schools are all within a two-mile drive of the neighborhood's center – adding to the convenience that comes from life in the Tudor Area.

Also within a two-mile drive is a cluster of three grocery stores – a Carrs, a Fred Meyer, and a Walmart Supercenter – that you'll find at the intersection of Seward Highway and East Benson Boulevard. Luckily, you don't need to drive nearly that far to sample the nine grilled cheeses at the Bread and Brew Restaurant on East Tudor Road. This restaurant, which bills itself as "a definitive neighborhood joint in Midtown Anchorage," also boasts a wide selection of soups, salads, and a 20-tap system that should satisfy any beer lover's desires. Other popular spots in the neighborhood are Blaine's Kitchen Carryout, which shares a parking lot with the Tudor Bingo Center, and the 24-hour Golden Donuts Coffee Shop. This last stop is a favorite among the night shift at Providence Medical Center or college students working an all-nighter and don't mind driving a mile and a half to get some French crullers and a fresh cup of coffee.

Being so close to these restaurants and so much makes northeast Alaska's Tudor Area a great place to call home.
