Moving to Alaska!
Moving to Alaska is not for the faint of heart; bitterly cold
winters, expensive apartments for rent and vast distances between
communities are factors that deter many, even those who are drawn to
the dramatic beauty of the landscape and wide range of outdoor
activities. However, if you consider moving to Juneau's more
temperate climate, or if Anchorage's or Fairbanks' white winters
appeal to your daring (and ski-loving) side, Alaska may well be the
land of your future.
Alaska is the country's largest state, and the state with the
lowest population density (only 650,000 Americans call Alaska home).
That means there's plenty of room for newcomers, if you're up for
the challenge. Residents and tourists alike seem to focus mainly on
two aspects of life in Alaska: appreciating the scenery and
surviving the weather. No other state offers more breathtaking
natural beauty than Alaska, with its mountains, coasts, glaciers and
diverse wildlife. Nature lovers and outdoor-sport enthusiasts are in
heaven here—during the summer, anyway.
Long hours of sunlight and temperatures in the 70s and 80s in the
most populated areas of Alaska make for pleasant living from late
spring to early fall. Come winter, the temperatures drop well below
zero and sunlight is scarce, making residents flee the great
outdoors for the comfort of their apartments. But the hard winters
make residents appreciate the glorious summers all the more.
Alaska ranks 20th among the states in per capita income. Alaska's
three major cities—Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage—rank among
the country's 10 most expensive cities to live in, with pricey
apartment rentals high on the list of what cleans out pockets.
Combine a high cost of living with above-average unemployment and
slow economic growth, and Alaska may not seem to be the most
welcoming place to settle down. But for those who have steady
employment and can afford to live here, the advantages of this
unique locale are abundant.
