Mid Hillside pairs mountain living with city convenience, rising above Anchorage on forested slopes where big skies, south-facing light, and panoramic views are part of daily life. Homes often sit on larger lots, creating a sense of privacy while keeping you minutes from groceries, cafés, and services along O’Malley and Huffman corridors. Commuters appreciate the straightforward drive to Midtown and Downtown, and weekend adventurers love that trailheads start close to the front door.
The outdoors is the neighborhood’s signature amenity. Residents tap into the expanse of Chugach State Park for alpine hikes, berry picking, and backcountry skiing, while the multiuse routes of Far North Bicentennial Park weave through spruce and birch right below. Winter evenings are easy to fill at Hilltop Ski Area, a family-friendly hill with night skiing and lessons, and curious kids (and out-of-town guests) gravitate to the nearby Alaska Zoo for a look at native wildlife.
Schools anchored by Service High, with Hanshew Middle and neighborhood elementary options, give families strong K–12 continuity and robust athletics. Community ties run deep, with local trail days, neighborhood watch groups, and quick connections to adjacent hillside enclaves like Bear Valley and Rabbit Creek.
