Why ANCHORAGE Alaska Is A Better Place To Live Than Wasilla #alaskapurchase #movingtoalaska
This video compares Anchorage and Wasilla (Mat-Su Valley) as places to live in Alaska, arguing that Anchorage offers significant advantages. The main points focus on better job prospects and higher wages in Anchorage, reduced commute times, more cultural activities and shopping options, less wind, more established parks, and better access to schools and the Kenai Peninsula. While acknowledging Wasilla’s appeal to some (e.g., less government regulation), the presenter ultimately advocates for Anchorage due to its superior amenities and convenience.

    I’ve been in the Anchorage area for about 3 months after moving from Alabama to here for a job. The commute from the Valley seems better than the commute from Decatur, AL to Huntsville, Alabama. I’m looking at real estate in the Valley and like the slower pace and the more rural setting. I’ll trade the commute for going home to a nice size acre over constant foot traffic at all hours day and night in Anchorage. I’ve heard several call Anchorage Los Anchorage in the short time here. It’s going to come down to each person’s personal preference.

      I make that commute seven days a week. A few things you need to consider first. If the weather is bad or there is a wreck then that commute turns into a nightmare. There is only one way in and one way out. Also, I feel that I’m the only person who works in Wasilla. All the stores are almost always crowded. Lastly, traffic is worse in Wasilla than Anchorage. This may surprise you. Before you move to the valley, try driving around and going grocery shopping between 4-6pm.

      There’s a bus system called Valley Transit that goes from the Trunk Road area to downtown 6 days a week. I learned about this from some of my coworkers. That’s the option I was looking at taking if I moved to Wasilla. The bus is like a large charter bus that looks very nice. There’s info out there on the web if that’s something that would help you during the winter.

    I will agree and disagree. If you are outdoorsy there is a lot to do! Rivers glaciers, blueberry picking. Nature, rivers on all sides! Mountains surround Palmer. In the Spring Summer and Fall downtown Palmer has something going on everyday. Wasilla is a part of Palmer basically. The state fair is in Palmer. Pony Wheel Rides, the Reindeer Farm, Climbers everywhere. The winds are as big you say! Palmer is a tourist town, so the downfall to me is living by down town there is too much going on. Also you would think that tourists would bring more business to all business, not so much. The tourist are very directed to the downtown business and entertainment and you can't get into the events as a new business. They are very loyal to the same old businesses. The Friday Fling and The Fair, won't budge, even though they need to shake things up. With food, if you know you are grandfathered in, some give out less quality to bring more profit to your pocket, not everyone mind you! Palmer is also a dryer weather, so winter is milder. Go anywhere outside Palmer and you will find the cold. Beautiful place to live or visit!
