Wasilla, Alaska Real Estate
The Valley's largest city and its retail hub — lakefront living, newer subdivisions and an easy Parks Highway commute.
Why buyers choose Wasilla
Wasilla is where most Mat-Su buyers start their search. It offers the widest mix of housing in the Valley: newer-construction subdivisions, established neighborhoods close to shopping and schools, and homes on the many lakes in and around town, including Lake Lucille and Wasilla Lake.
Because Wasilla sits right on the Parks Highway, it's a popular choice for people who commute toward Anchorage or JBER and want more house and more land for their money. Just outside city limits you'll find larger lots, shops and outbuildings, and fewer restrictions — something many buyers come to the Valley looking for.
Wasilla is also known as the home of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race headquarters, and it's a gateway to Hatcher Pass, Knik Arm, and the lake-and-trail recreation Valley families love.
Wasilla is a great fit for
- Newer construction and move-in-ready homes
- Lakefront and lake-access properties
- Shorter commutes to Anchorage and JBER
- Easy access to shopping, healthcare and schools
