Why Bring Your Internet Business and Family to Seldovia?

by Seldovia Chamber of Commerce

At the end of the highway and across the Kachemak Bay, lives a small First Class City, with a big heart.  Seldovia, Alaska nestles between two bays and the mountains, providing postcard views at every turn.  The beauty of the setting is only matched by the spirit of our little city.  One hundred and twenty families live in this secluded, quiet, unspoiled paradise.  Our websites provide photos, information, and web cams to allow you to see for yourself what this community has to offer.

If your profession allows you to work remotely,  please consider Seldovia as your home base.  You and your family will be able to live and work in a picturesque community,  a safe haven for your (children – or family), with friendly people!

Though you may run “big business” from your computer desk, office or laptop – you can run the most important business of family as you enjoy the uncluttered and simple living offered only in a location off the road system.  No malls, theaters, traffic and busy-ness that is created when living on the mainland.  It truly is like a “step back in time” – to a simpler, quieter, and less complicated lifestyle.  This can be a welcome relief from the world of big business – and actually give you energy and the revitalization you need to continue doing great and creative things with your online business.

Safe and healthy environment for families, where young kids can enjoy independence in a way not possible in the big cities. With a low crime rate, we are a community of people who look out for one another and are accountable to each other.  Seldovia is a safe-haven for raising children.

Excellent School facilities and teacher to student ratio with plenty of room to accommodate increased numbers of students.  Swimming pool, large gym and an exceptional vocational shop facility.

If boating and getting out on the water is important part of your waterfront community lifestyle, we still have slips available in a beautiful, ice-free (mostly!) harbor at reasonable rates.  You will be hard pressed to find a similarly fabulously located harbor (close to the big fishing grounds) at such a modest fee, where you can walk from the harbor to the airport to the Post Office – all within minutes.

Enjoy Alaska’s Rural beauty and activities while maintaining “connectedness” to a community and “big business” through the internet. The Seldovia region has a rich cultural history and was once the meeting place for several groups of Alaska Native peoples. This rich cultural history lives on in the Seldovia Village Tribe, which is a federally recognized tribe that provides economic opportunities and health and wellness care for the community. The Tribe offers many free and low-cost services to the entire Seldovia community, including drug and alcohol prevention, behavioral health and alcohol counseling, environmental research and outreach, elder services, housing, food bank, fire department, injury prevention, senior meals and childcare programs. An important economic engine for Seldovia and the southern Kenai Peninsula, the Tribe owns and operates the SVT Health Center, the Seldovia Bay Ferry, the Seldovia Conference Center, the Alaska Tribal Cache Gift Store, Alaska Pure Berry, and the Seldovia Visitor Center and Museum

Low-key environment with minimal distraction that supports individual entrepreneurial efforts.

Be a big part of the success and growth of a community. Because of our community size (small), each person makes a difference – and it is all about giving back, right?  Adding value is crucial in any attempt to have a positive impact – here it is.

Have Alaska in it’s finest form, natural, untouched and pristine – just outside your door.  Kayak, hike, pick berries, go fishing.  You can be working “internationally” in the morning, eat lunch with your family, and go for a sail or hike in the afternoon!  No need for a long drive to enjoy nature in its most natural form – extraordinary.

An active and vibrant Chamber of Commerce and Marketing Committee committed to increasing the awareness of our community businesses and offerings to the Alaska and World Wide.

An outstanding City Government that works diligently to improve the strength and stability of our City and its services and infrastructure.

It is all about balance – you can find that here in Seldovia.
