A falling median means buyers and sellers here should both be working from recent comps rather than last year's.

What schools serve Anchorage and Plainview?

Most of 40223 is served by Jefferson County Public Schools, which uses a school-choice system rather than strict address-based zoning. The city of Anchorage is the exception.

Whether an address sits inside the Anchorage city limits therefore decides which district serves it. Check the address before you assume.
