Despite being 1,700 miles south of the actual north pole, North Pole, Alaska proudly advertises itself as the hometown of Santa Claus and the post office processes thousands of letters to Santa every year. Outside of the Christmas season, permanent residents of the town enjoy a number of parks, ice rinks, and bike trails, as well as the local flat-track roller derby team, The North Pole Babes in Toyland. If you’re craving a truly small-town, outdoorsy lifestyle, you could do worse than North Pole.
Housing in North Pole can be expensive, though. Rents average about $1700 a month and the median home price is $337K. Prices show no sign of slowing down, either. You might find yourself with far less space than you’ve hoped for.
Thankfully, there are affordable self-storage options in and around North Pole. Whether you need a short term solution while waiting for housing to open up or want some place to store your snowmobile for the long term, you’ll be surprised at how cheap and convenient your choices are. Don’t let storage space slow down your Alaska adventure.
