The fourth-largest city in Alaska and part of the Anchorage metro area, Wasilla is the Alaskan version of big city living. Of course, that still includes glorious mountain views, acres of parks and nature preserves, and many city residents who make their living on fishing boats. While over a third of residents commute to Anchorage for work, Wasilla has a diversified economy with plenty of local services. This combination of the urban and rural has made Wasilla one of Alaska’s fastest growing cities.
Growth, of course, generally means high housing prices and Wasilla is no exception. Rents average $1,000 a month and house prices averaging $294K for a 2 bedroom. Moving to the wide open spaces of Alaska might mean having a little less space indoors.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage locations in the Anchorage area and Wasilla proper. Whether you need short-term storage while you wait for a property or want long-term storage for all the outdoor toys you’ll be acquiring, you might be surprised at how affordable and convenient your options are. Don’t let storage be the reason you miss out on your big Alaskan move.
