A park-like locale west of Downtown Anchorage

Scenic • Mountain Views • Commuter • Suburban • Convenient • Affordable •

Located about three miles west of Downtown Anchorage, Russian Jack Park is a scenic neighborhood in a convenient locale. Russian Jack Park lies just north of the University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Pacific University, making the neighborhood a top choice for numerous students, faculty, and staff. Elmendorf Air Force Base is also just north of Russian Jack Park, drawing plenty of military personnel and their families to the area.

The sprawling Russian Jack Springs Park forms much of the neighborhood’s west side, featuring ample opportunities for outdoor recreation with a sledding hill, dog park, Frisbee golf course, nine-hole golf course, greenhouse, playground, natural spring, ball fields, and picnic areas to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for an apartment, townhome, or house, you can be sure your Russian Jack Park rental will be within close reach of the expansive namesake park.

Although the neighborhood is largely residential, Russian Jack Park is convenient to excellent shopping options at Glenn Square and Tikahtnu Commons, which are both just off of Glenn Highway.

I love living in this neighborhood and have almost never felt threatened while living here. I grew up in this neighborhood, I would never want to grow up any where else. I have very fond memories or riding my bike around the block, dancing in sprinklers and even learning how to skateboard with my dad. The housing could have been a little better but I am overall very satisfied.
