Alaska's Fastest Growing Area

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough, known as the "Mat-Su" covers over 25,000 square miles with a diverse collection of communities and is the fastest growing area in Alaska.

The Mat-Su is a great place to raise a family, get an education and run a business. The Mat-Su offers more land and more house for less money. The Mat-Su is close to the amenities of a large city, yet retains its pioneer-like lifestyle.

Where else can you see a musher driving a dog team alongside a stretch of pavement?

A lot of quality-of-life issues add up here. A person can work alongside big fish, big mountains, and moderate climate. Why live anywhere else?

When looking for things to do, check this calendar.  There are a variety of museums, theatres, libraries, and more than 2,000 miles of trails.
