Why Anchorage is different
Anchorage is the hardest place in the county to keep a roof clean, and the reason is the thing everyone moves here for. The city sits in wooded hills and valleys along branches of Beargrass and Goose Creeks, under a canopy of oaks and magnolias. The Anchorage Historic District has been on the National Register since 1982, so a lot of that housing is old, and the tree cover keeps houses sitting in shade rather than lined up for the sun.
