    "I’m Retired so don’t commute. But getting anywhere in Anchorage is just an easy 20 min drive. If you’re from any major US city you will laugh when you hear locals complaining about the “traffic” at the 3 major intersections. "

    "The wildlife and quiet. In my yard, over the years, I have seen bears, eagles, owls, a fox, a coyote, porcupines, moose, of course, and even a wolverine on one occasion. Yet it is only a 20 minute commute to downtown and 15 minutes to mid-town or the U-Med area."
