Location Characteristics: Girdwood has two characteristics. It is a resort town featuring a world class ski area and resort hotel, and it is an area where Anchorage residents "escape" to upscale condos and other unique residences.
Girdwood, however, is not the southern most part of Anchorage. Portage is.
