Just a mere 140 miles south of the Arctic Circle, you might think that Fairbanks, Alaska is at the end of the world. But the area has seen seasonal encampments for 10,000 years and European settlers have been in the area since at least 1901. Today, the city boasts a vibrant economy both catering to tourists from the lower 48 and serving as a transportation and train hub for inner Alaska. You can enjoy a modern American lifestyle underneath the stunning northern lights.
The cost of living is higher in Alaska and that applies to housing, too. Rent on a one-bedroom apartment will set you back around $1,200 a month and a median home costs around $250K. Safe to say, you may need a place to store all your gear for enjoying the Alaska lifestyle!
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage locations in the Fairbanks area. Whether you need a short-term option or want to keep your cool new snowmobile somewhere for the long term, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the affordable options near you.
