Why buyers choose Sutton

Sutton is a small, historic coal-mining community northeast of Palmer. It appeals to buyers who want quiet, mountain surroundings and easy access to hunting, hiking and the Matanuska River valley.

Homes and cabins here often sit on larger, wooded lots, and land prices can be attractive for people planning to build. Continuing up the Glenn Highway leads to Chickaloon, the Matanuska Glacier and some of the most scenic driving in the state.

It's a great fit for folks who don't mind a longer drive to town in exchange for space, privacy and views.
