Palmer Alaska Homes for Sale

Palmer is a beautiful small town just 40 miles from Anchorage and 13 miles from Wasilla. Palmer exudes small town charm with its quaint downtown area. With a population of just 6500, Palmer is smaller than Wasilla, and the outlying area hosts most of the agriculture for this part of the state. With just a few big box stores (Fred Meyer and Carrs), Palmer doesn’t have quite as many shopping options, but is still well serviced. The mountains are close – Hatchers Pass to the north, the Chugach Mountains to the east and south. The iconic Pioneer Peak is a dramatic presence, with a steep 6,000ft+ elevation gain. Palmer is also home to the yearly Alaska State Fair.
