Perryville, Alaska, is truly a world apart. The borough of Alaska it sits in, the Lake and Peninsula Borough, on Alaska’s long eastern “tail,” is larger than the state of South Carolina. Volcano eruptions and earthquakes are not uncommon occurrences and the Russian Orthodox Church is one of the more prominent denominations. With an economy based mainly on fishing, this isn’t a lifestyle for everyone, but those who love it can’t imagine any other way.
Alaska’s generally high cost of living doesn’t take a break in Perryville. Rents and homes are pricey and with such a small housing stock, you might wait awhile for something permanent to open up. Many residents also prefer to build their own homes, which can take awhile in such an unpredictable climate. Having storage space is a necessity.
Thankfully, there are some affordable storage options in Perryville. Whether for the short-term or the long-term, you’ll find a place to store extra furniture, outdoor gear, or anything else. Don’t let storage be what holds you back from an Alaskan island life.
