Eagle River Alaska Real Estate |
A companion town of the nearby Chugiak, Eagle River lays along the Glenn Highway between Fort Richardson and Chugach State Park and within a short drive to Anchorage. First reported to the U.S. Geological Survey in 1839, Eagle River was settled by homesteaders and continued to prosper based on agricultural activities. Today, Eagle River serves as a suburban area of Anchorage, offering residents a more rural setting than the larger city.

As the largest suburb of Alaska’s largest city, Eagle River’s nearly 23,00 residents are welcoming new residents who are seeking a place to live that is a little removed from the larger city, but with its own attractions and a vibrant real estate market. The population of Eagle River continues to grow as those seeking a short commute for jobs in Anchorage in the nearby Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base. As the population has increased so have Eagle River’s housing options and improvements in local services. New local restaurants, each providing a new menu to choose from, and increased shopping opportunities are opening to meet resident demand.
Eagle River residents enjoy incredible access to one of America’s most amazing outdoor playgrounds. Popular activities include rafting, biking and hiking on local mountains or along the spectacular Crow Pass Trail. Ice skaters can enjoy strapping on the skates for hockey, figure skating or just making the rounds at the Harry J. McDonald Center ice rink and fishing in the Eagle River and local lakes makes an enjoyable family pastime, too. Local festivals and special events in Eagle River include the popular Highland Games at Lion’s Park in June and the Bear Paw Festival in July.
