Nome's downtown and waterfront core, near Front Street (the Iditarod finish line), holds much of the city's housing, businesses, and services within a genuinely compact footprint.
Outlying residential areas
Nome's outer residential areas, along and near the local road system (Nome-Council, Nome-Teller, Kougarok roads), offer more space and a quieter, more rural feel within city and borough limits.
