Why Huffman - O'Malley
Huffman-O'Malley is one of Anchorage's premier residential areas, offering larger properties and mountain views. The area attracts higher-income tenants and offers excellent long-term appreciation potential.
This is one of the closer Hillside-adjacent submarkets to actual retail infrastructure, which sets it apart from other south Anchorage neighborhoods with similar views and lot sizes. Huffman Commons, a 7,116-square-foot retail building anchored by Starbucks, sold to Aleut Real Estate shortly after being built in 2023, and its proximity to the Dimond Center mall and a nearby Costco keeps commercial interest in the corridor steady even as the surrounding area stays primarily residential.
Area Highlights
- Premium residential area
- Mountain and inlet views
- Larger lot sizes
- Higher rental rates
- Strong long-term appreciation

Huffman - O'Malley FAQ
Why does Huffman-O'Malley command higher rents than other south Anchorage areas?
Larger lot sizes, mountain and inlet views, and closer access to major retail than most Hillside neighborhoods offer. Tenants here tend to be higher-income and stay longer, which supports both rent levels and property appreciation.
Is there investable commercial real estate in Huffman-O'Malley, or is it all residential?
It's residential-dominant, but not exclusively. Huffman Commons is a recent example of institutional interest in the corridor's small-format retail, and the neighborhood's proximity to Dimond Center and Costco makes standalone retail sites along Huffman and O'Malley Roads more viable than in most purely residential submarkets.
What kind of buyer typically invests in this submarket?
Investors targeting long-term appreciation over immediate cash flow. Entry prices run higher than Abbott Loop or Eagle River, but the combination of view lots, larger parcels, and proximity to retail infrastructure has historically supported steadier long-term value growth.
