Homer,

At the end of the road is Homer. You drive as far south as you can from Anchorage along the Kenai Peninsula and you end up in this wonderful Alaska village. It is also known as the Halibut fishing capital of the world but it is so much more and if you are ever in Alaska well worth the time to visit.

Nestled on the shore of Kachemak Bay there is breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains and wildlife. In addition to the fishing there is an active art community, quaint café’s and a few very nice restaurants. Whether it is fishing, kayaking, bear viewing, shopping, dining or site seeing Homer has it all and then some. For a community this small it has a very cosmopolitan feeling.

This is one place where the local real estate market appears to being doing just fine. In the past few years there as been large increase in the population as the town has been discovered as a great vacation spot and, interestingly, a growth in retired people moving to Homer.There is no doubt in my mind, if we ever return to Alaska to live, it will be to Homer!
