Turnagain Heights delivers westside living with big-sky views of Cook Inlet and a front-row seat to Anchorage’s outdoor heartbeat. Step onto the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail for miles of biking, running, and winter skiing, or wander the bluff-top paths of Earthquake Park, where interpretive signs recount the dramatic 1964 landslide that shaped the neighborhood’s terrain. You’re minutes from the galleries and eateries of Anchorage and the eclectic energy of Spenard, while Lake Hood and the Alaska Aviation Museum offer plane-spotting and aviation history right in your backyard. Sunsets here can stop traffic; on clear evenings, you may catch Denali peeking over the horizon.
Families appreciate strong school options, including Turnagain Elementary School and West Anchorage High School, with Romig Middle nearby. Neighborhood parks like Lyn Ary and Point Woronzof invite picnics, kite-flying, and spring birdwatching; in winter, locals trade bikes for skis and fat-tire tires, making the most of well-kept trails. Housing spans mid-century ranches to thoughtfully updated homes, set along mature trees that buffer city bustle while keeping commutes easy—airport, downtown, and major employers are all close.
