Nestled in the valley adjacent to the Matanuska River, the beautiful Matanuska Valley region offers affordable rental properties in the more suburban areas around Wasilla and the more remote lands south of Point MacKenzie.
The breathtaking Matanuska Valley was carved by glaciers some tens of thousands of years ago. What’s left? Thousands of stunning lakes filled with sockeye, pink, coho, chinook, and chum salmon. The area houses over 30 state parks and offers easy access to gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, and campgrounds. Matanuska Glacier, the largest and arguably the most awe-inspiring roadside glacier in Alaska is literally at your fingertips.
The straight-shot commute from Wasilla to Anchorage is part of what makes this valley one of the most settled regions in the state. Nearly one third of residents will make this 45-mile commute to Anchorage each day. However, Wasilla is a smaller bustling hub of its own. Here you’ll find the world-famous Iditarod Sled Dog Race Headquarters, local and chain stores, and delicious eateries.
