For those of you that aren't as familiar with Anchorage, it's on the very back of Hawaii Kai Drive on Makaa Street. It runs primarily along the marina. It's a great neighborhood and a quiet street. You have homes both on the marina and off the marina. As of today, in MLS, there's not one home for sale in Anchorage... Read More
