Fifteen minutes north of downtown Anchorage and directly adjacent to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Eagle River sits in a unique slot — close enough to the city for a daily commute, close enough to JBER to be the largest off-base housing community for military families, and close enough to the Chugach Mountains for the trailheads to be a five-minute drive.
That mix shows up in the rental supply. Single-family homes on quarter-acre lots, modern subdivisions, mountain-adjacent properties on well-and-septic systems, and townhomes near the Old Glenn Highway commercial core — all in the same ZIP code (99577).
All Star Realty's office is in Eagle River. We've managed properties here since 1987 — the same broker on the license throughout, the same drive across the metro, the same team owners can call when something needs handling tonight, not tomorrow.
The same six service categories we run across the metro, applied with Eagle River specifics in mind — military-tenant timelines, well-and-septic protocols, longer driveways in winter.
Statewide judicial review, employment verification, landlord-to-landlord calls, and income qualification. For JBER applicants, we coordinate the LES (Leave and Earnings Statement) review and DEERS-aware verification.
Learn MoreOnline tenant portal for automated payments, late-fee enforcement on the lease terms, monthly owner statements covering income, expenses, and maintenance line items.
Learn MoreFrozen pipe prevention, heating system checks (furnaces, boilers, HRVs), snow removal coordination — including the longer driveways common in North Eagle River — and roof ice dam prevention.
Learn MoreRound-the-clock emergency response. Vetted Eagle River contractor network. Proactive seasonal inspections aimed at catching issues before they become emergency calls.
Learn More7-Day and 10-Day notices, 24-Hour notices for illegal activity, FED filings, and court representation — handled by the team under Alaska Statute 34.03 so the owner doesn't have to learn the procedure.
Learn MoreListing photography, the ShowMojo self-showing flow, syndication across the major rental platforms, and inquiry handling — the work that turns a vacant unit into an applicant pipeline.
Learn MoreThree operational realities that show up in every Eagle River property we manage. None of these is a market claim — they're concrete things the team handles directly.
Longer driveways (especially north of Town Center), heating oil coordination, frozen pipe prevention, HRV balancing, and roof ice dam management. The same crew has run Eagle River winters since 1987.
SCRA-compliant lease structuring, PCS-aware termination handling, and BAH-aware rent positioning so the owner isn't navigating military-specific paperwork on their own when orders come in.
Many Eagle River properties run on private water and septic instead of municipal utilities. We manage pump scheduling, water quality testing, and the seasonal protocols those systems need to keep running through winter.
ZIP code 99577 across the board — every subdivision, from JBER-adjacent South Eagle River to rural North Eagle River acreage.
Closest to JBER's gates. Established subdivisions, quick base access, and the most common landing pad for military families on PCS orders into Anchorage.
Commercial core along the Old Glenn Highway corridor — Fred Meyer, Carrs, restaurants, and services. Walkable from townhomes and the apartment cluster nearby.
Mix of established and newer single-family construction. Family-driven tenant profile — Ravenwood Elementary and Eagle River High School are the school anchors.
Mountain-adjacent single-family homes with Chugach views. Larger lots, longer driveways, and many properties on private well and septic systems.
Rural character, larger acreage, and the longest driveways in the area. Tenant profile skews toward residents who want privacy and don't mind the ten extra minutes to Town Center.
Eagle River sits directly adjacent to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, separated by the Glenn Highway. The proximity makes it the largest off-base housing community for JBER families.
Yes. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) allows military tenants to terminate a lease early when they receive PCS or deployment orders, with proper notice. All Star structures Eagle River leases with SCRA-compliant military clauses so the tenant and owner both know what to expect when orders come in.
Many Eagle River properties — particularly outside the Town Center and toward Eklutna — use private well water and septic systems instead of municipal utilities. We manage well-and-septic properties with regular pump scheduling, water quality testing, and the seasonal protocols those systems require.
Under Alaska Statute 34.03, landlords must maintain habitable conditions, make timely repairs, follow proper eviction procedures (7-Day notices for non-payment, 10-Day for lease violations), return security deposits within 14 days of lease termination (30 days when the tenant provides a forwarding address), and comply with AHFC requirements where applicable.
Professional management is not legally required in Alaska, but it's strongly recommended for owners who don't live in-state, who manage multiple units, who have JBER-tenant turnover on PCS cycles, or who own a property on private well and septic. We handle the day-to-day so the owner doesn't have to.
Management fees vary by property type, unit count, and the services included (placement only, full management, well-and-septic coordination, military-tenant focus, etc.). Rather than publish a number that won't fit your specific property, we provide a custom quote after a free property analysis.
