Alaska Apartments For Rent

Cross the border into Alaska and the first thing you hear is “welcome to the great state of Alaska.” Believe it. Alaska is the biggest state in the United States of America, being twice the size of Texas. Alaska is also one of the wealthiest states in the Union so you can expect that many Alaska apartments for rent are at the high end of the scale. In fact, cost of living is relatively high, compared to most other states.

The economy runs on oil and while it has a low individual tax rate and no sales tax, the cost of goods, supplies and necessities can run you due to transportation costs of delivery to rural areas. If you plan on moving to Alaska then be advised that the winters are very cold with harsh winds and very little sunlight. So it is important to choose your Alaska apartment carefully because you will be spending a lot of time indoors.

Anchorage is located in south central Alaska and is the state's largest city. No wilderness in sight as the skyline looks like any other big city skyline complete with high rises and highways encircling. The climate is mitigated at bit here due to the nearby seacoast. The average price for a one bedroom here, starts at about $600 per month. If you need two or more bedrooms, then expect to pay upwards of a thousand dollars rent depending on the neighborhood you select.

Fairbanks is in the middle of the state, about 120 miles from Anchorage. Cost of living here is not as bad as Anchorage. However a two bedroom apartment will run you about $800 per month. Fairbanks, Alaska apartment costs have actually declined over the past five years because of a decrease in the cost of living in this area. This city also boasts the biggest temperature changes from season to season.

Juneau is the capital of Alaska with apartments for rent in the mid $800 range for two bedrooms, making if less expensive than Anchorage but more expensive than Fairbanks. It is not an easy city to get to in the first place, however Alaska apartment rentals here may be a more realistic choice for the novice, in particular, since the climate is a bit more moderate. The city averages temperatures above freezing. The population of the city is right around 30,000 people and is only accessible by boat or plane. In other words, there are no roads that lead to Juneau. None the less, it is a summertime tourist attraction which is a major source of city revenue.
