The neighborhood within the greater Oceanview community is called Flying Crown, and is one of only 3 neighborhoods in the Anchorage area that is built around a private grass airstrip. The 50 homes in Flying Crown all have titled ownership of this exclusive airstrip. There are no tie down fees. The strip is insured through the $280/yr HOA fee. This house is the farthest house from the airstrip that still has tie-down rights, meaning low noise impact from departing aircraft, but complete access to use the strip. The airstrip is 1100' long with neighbors sharing in the maintenance and mowing of their areas of use. Many days when Anchorage is marginal weather, Flying Crown has a beautiful sky to the south.

A custom installed commercial heat exchanger system provides economic natural gas hot water supply for a future hot tub or, as the current owner uses, an in ground swimming pool. The house is oriented on the very front edge of a 12,000sqft cul de sac lot, which creates a huge and usable back yard space with mature birch trees and a well kept lawn. A 2010 installed cedar fence with a man gate, dog run space, and covered wood storage on southeast side follows the 55yd back property line around to the northwest side with a double vehicle gate and gravel parking pad to keep boats and rvs up to 30' out of the second driveway. A grade-level, maintenance free Trex PVC deck, wraps around a 14' "trampoline pit" that has kids jumping injury free at ground level during most of the year. In the warmer months, the trampoline gets pulled out and the "pit" converts into an in-ground heated swimming pool. Natural gas stubbed out below the deck can run a future outdoor fireplace or grill. Exterior wood beams and cedar trim highlight the 50 year no maintenance cement siding prestained in a weathered wood color.The front yard is abbreviated with a small garden space and serves primarily as home to the nicest spruce tree in the neighborhood along with lilac and birch trees. This large spruce has LED lights installed to the top and is a favorite during the winter season while providing privacy for front upstairs bedrooms. The front door is framed by a local harvest and milled rough cut red cedar timber porch awning that keeps the entrance well lit and dry. Two driveways provide flexible parking for Alaskan toys and family vehicles. The cul de sac is level, low traffic, and family friendly for basketball, chalk drawings, and learning to ride bikes. Two neighbors are retired couples, the other two neighbors have school aged children that are friendly and considerate.
