If you're thinking about moving to AK, you doubtlessly know that some places can be more expensive to live in than others. Though this isn't a one-shoe fits all, nothing else matters but this one video, it will give you a good feel for approximate costs in certain parts of the state. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, as everyone's expenses are going to be different based on lifestyle. Also, keep in mind, just because $50,000 a year will stretch a long ways in some places, that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to find a job for $50,000 in every town.

For those that come across this and wonder about a point of reference for "it's expensive".... we were in AK scouting things out during the summer a couple years ago. We stopped at multiple small town grocery stores, stores in Anchorage, and a few in Palmer/Wasilla. For reference we live in rural Iowa. The only grocery that was consistently more expensive was meat, with anywhere from 20% to 200% more depending on product. Produce was almost always the same or a little cheaper than our prices here, and the produce was bigger and better. Processed foods was a mixed bag, but generally comparable with a few higher items. Even milk was about 30-60 cents cheaper than here at that point in time. There is so much opportunity to hunt and fish in AK, so meat isn't an issue for many. Where the cost in Alaska will really hit you is the cost of real estate, building materials, and energy costs. That and the cost of all the activities, lol. Not going to move to Alaska to be a hermit in a city apartment. 😂😂

@eleflux6609 4 месяца назад
Further context. Yes I understand prices are likely to be higher on many things during the winter. But it depends in large part how many processed foods you eat, if you have something against bulk purchases, and whether you preserve your produce at all or not. You can, for the most part, plan around winter increases and shortages.

Big Delta and Nenana no property tax, no sales tax, yet close enough to Fairbanks for big box stores. Fairbanks does have an extreme climate, which includes warm summers which is ideal for gardening May-Sept and its dry...annual precipitation averages 12 inches. Fairbanks also has an International Airport which is nice for folks wanting to take a break from winter.

How you doing Jamin? Great videos, but I had another question dealing with apartments. I’m planning on coming up in the next couple of weeks to work for a company in Seward, Alaska and I see different numbers dealing with living in or outside of the city. Could you give me a little more insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for what you do!

@alaska_realtor 2 года назад
Hey Frank! I don't really have numbers on the rental market inside/outside of the city, but what I do know is that the market has gone up. If you're outside the city then you'll very likely be paying less though. Are you going to live in Seward?

I'm not sure if you've done a vid on this, but what is there to do in South Central Alaska/ Anchorage? Does anchorage have bowling alleys, bike trails, or local card shops? Also, what are the requirements for owning a vehicle in [South Central] Alaska? Do you have to have a four-wheel drive go get around? Is it even possible to commute by bike? Great vid btw
@spencerpettus1954
@spencerpettus1954 2 года назад
I'm in Homer right now. People just have regular cars here. Of course in the winter you have to drive carefully when the roads are icy. I feel like you could commute by bike in Anchorage but the smaller towns tend to be hilly so it might be a tough ride, and they don't always have sidewalks so when it's icy and snowy it might not be safe. I've never ridden a bike on snow or ice so I'm not too sure.

You know I don't have it in front of me, but it's not one of the cheapest because of the cost housing. That's why a lot of people live in the MatSu Valley and commute to ANchorage for the lower cost of housing.
