Glen Alps sets the bar for mountain-side living, perched high above Anchorage with front-row views of Cook Inlet, city lights, and the Chugach peaks. Residents step straight into wilderness via the Chugach State Park gateway at the Glen Alps Trailhead, home to the popular Flattop Mountain climb and a network of year-round trails for hiking, Nordic skiing, and fat-tire biking.
Streets curve along the slope with custom homes on generous lots, frequent moose and ptarmigan sightings, and quiet nights ideal for aurora watching. Despite the alpine setting, essentials are within a short drive, and nearby hillside communities like Bear Valley share the same sky-wide vistas and outdoor rhythm. It’s a lifestyle where sunrise over the ridgeline can be your daily cue to lace up boots or clip into skis.
Families are served by Anchorage School District options such as O’Malley Elementary, Hanshew Middle School, and Service High School, with active parent groups and robust academics. Weekend plans often include carving turns at Hilltop Ski Area, strolling the woodland paths at the Alaska Botanical Garden, or simply catching sunset from the overlook before heading home to a crackling fireplace.
