Print article A clutch of small new houses on a busy street near downtown offer what city officials say is a rarity new home ownership opportunities at relatively low prices in the heart of Anchorage. At 840 square feet or less, the five tightly aligned, two-story units at 11th Avenue and Cordova Street aren’t much bigger than a typical one-bedroom apartment. City officials say the houses represent an experiment in urban planning that might help address Anchorage’s housing shortage.
