I have a Question About Real Estate And Lot Size in Alaska?

2
Hope this helps asked:


Someone who lives in Alaska or even sells real estate in Alaska could help with this question.

I live in Florida, but I'm thinking about moving to Alaska (okay - sounds odd, but let's continue.)

I am looking at houses on realtor.com in the areas surrounding Anchorage. It seems like even in towns like Eagle River and Willow, the lot size is small.

I currently live on 1 acre, and all of the lots in my neighborhood are 1 acre. A quarter-acre lot is about the smallest we get here.

But the Alaska suburban properties have much smaller lots - 1/10th of an acre -- something like that.

So - I figure I'm MISSING something here. There must be a good reason for this. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. Because I have little/no knowledge of Alaska real estate, I'm looking for some help. Thanks!

Our daughter used to sell real estate in the Anchorage area for about 5 years, then due to health problems she moved to FL. Not all peoples bodies can handle the short daylight hours
in the winter, about 6, and the long daylight hours in the summer, about 18, but having visited there many times it is a wonderful place to live but we are to old to move there. Send me you email address and I will send you hers, I don’t want to post hers.

In Anchorage and the immediate surrounding areas the lot size is so small because the city literally has no where else to build. The area is surrounded by mountains and water so the only way they can build more homes is to cut the lot size.
