Its good enough for Palin.....they have a nice place on the lake.

I went through there last year...but didn't stay long enough to see the dirty underbelly that is whats happening in many of these once cool little towns.

Oh but the liberal politicians insist drugs aren't a "crime"...what a crock that is.....

If you're like me and your industry requires you to work from a metropolitan area such as Anchorage, then Wasilla is alright. Palmer is better. I work in Anchoragua so I live in Wasilla (actually Palmer address) near the hospital. Spend a half hour people watching at Fred Meyer in Wasilla, Eagle River, or Anchorage and you will pick Wasilla every time. Los Anchorage is cool if you're into vehicle theft, homeless people, trash, and gun violence. Eagle River is alright but the vibe is an REI commercial and cost of living is probably more than double out in the valley. So i pick Wasilla. You'll see some pretty hillbilly stuff (literally ATV trails next to every road in town, vehicles pieced together that will bend your mind, etc.) but I am a bit hillbilly myself so no big deal.

Chugiak and Peters Creek are nice options, but my wife doesn't like winter driving and holds a great job out in the Valley. She doesn't want to commute and i don't mind my 30 minute drive into work. If you can find a job in the valley or work from home, then there are some really awesome places in the Wasilla area. Fishhook area is bad ass where you can find great prices and privacy. Also on the northwest end of town and north of Palmer there are some nice areas. Butte and Clark-Wolverine areas are alright as well.

There seems to be so much crime in every area of Alaska right now that no one is really in any place to talk much trash. Numerous bad neighborhoods seem to be only a 5 minute drive away anywhere between Anchorage to Willow. But Anchorage......F that STD.

I live in Palmer, I am planning on selling my house. And getting something bigger around Palmer. Wasilla has too many sketch areas and Palmer still has a small town feel with better views in more places. I wouldn't consider moving into the Muni.

I own a house in Palmer. Haven’t lived in it for the last five years but we haven’t had any issues with renters or crime. Could be talked into selling it if the price was right. Nice little neighborhood across the street from Colony High School.

We liked Palmer more than Wasilla when we were up there. Although I’m told it’s all changed quite a bit.
