             Choosing a place to live is a challenging task and it’s 
important to consider many things. Once you have identified that Alaska 
is the place for you, you need to select the landing site for your new 
adventure. Below are some of the top places to live in Alaska.<br />

<h3>
1. Anchorage</h3>
<a href="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Anchorage.jpg"><img alt="Anchorage" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-586" height="320" src="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Anchorage.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

For you city lovers there is really only one choice and for some of 
you die-hard city-goers the biggest city in Alaska, Anchorage, might not
 just cut it, but for the average city dweller it is just fine. 
Anchorage boasts a substantially large international airport that hosts 
hubs for Fed-Ex and UPS alike, a downtown that has been growing since 
its founding and continues to grow-one way streets and all, two malls, a
 professional hockey team, the Captain Cook Hotel, many attractions, the
 Iditarod, three Wal-Marts, and the list goes on.<br />

Although the city possesses only 250,000 people or so, Anchorage is a
 bustling place that even in the dead of winter is chock-full of traffic
 jams and busy boardrooms. Anchorage is one of the fastest growing 
cities in the United States (if you take New York and Los Angeles out of
 the mix) for the amount of population in the state and the state of 
Alaska is even considering moving the capital from Juneau to just north 
of Anchorage to the Matsu Valley.<br />

<h3>
2. Fairbanks and Juneau</h3>
<a href="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Fairbanks_and_Juneau.jpg"><img alt="Juneau waterfront" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-589" height="333" src="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Fairbanks_and_Juneau.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

For those of you who enjoy the city-life but on a smaller scale, 
there is always Fairbanks in the north with its bitter winter 
temperatures and scalding summer temperatures (it does get into the 90s 
which feels like 120), but if you are not really sure about the 
temperature swings there is always the state capital, Juneau. Last year,
 I visited Fairbanks and stayed here for a couple of weeks. Even though I
 liked this place, I think the food choices are a little bit strange 
here. Some foods were extremely expensive, while others were 
rediculously cheap. Since I was on a tight budget, I had to change my 
eating habits to stretch my budget. But what I liked the most is that 
people in Fairbanks are amazingly friendly to strangers; they’re easy to
 talk to and get along with.<br />

Juneau is also a great city to live in. Sure Juneau is the only state
 capital in the United States not accessible by road, but the city is 
expanding and offers a lot to those who choose to live there. Juneau is 
smack-dab in the center of a temperate rain forest and boasts city life,
 ocean living, mountains, and a sense of adventure.<br />
Sure it rains a lot there, but it has to be one of the most gorgeous 
secrets of Alaska. The job market is ever expanding, the school systems 
are good, and the ability to make a life for you and your family are 
limitless. If you had to choose a state capital to live in then you 
should choose Juneau over many others based on the short assessment 
above pretty easily.<br />

<h3>
3. Soldotna and Kenai</h3>
<a href="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Soldotna_and_Kenai.jpg"><img alt="Soldotna_and_Kenai" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-585" height="333" src="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Soldotna_and_Kenai.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

If none of those places appeal to you then maybe you should head down
 south to Soldotna and Kenai where you are not far from major amenities 
and stores, but the small-town feeling and rural setting makes you feel 
like you are in your own world.<br />

During the winter months Soldotna and Kenai offer the resident close 
relationships with friends and locals, feet of snow good for 
snow-machining or sledding, countless numbers of moose wandering around,
 great coffee at numerous coffee houses and drive-thru coffee shacks, 
and hundreds of other things.<br />

When summer hits Soldotna and Kenai transform into the Salmon fishing
 capital of the world. The world famous Kenai River flows right through 
the center of these twin cities and the riverbanks and streets are 
jammed-packed with fisherman vying for the biggest fish in 22 hours of 
sunlight.<br />

The opportunity for growth here is astonishing as the city-limits of 
both Soldotna and Kenai expand every year and the inclusion of a Home 
Depot, Lowe’s, and a Wal-Mart are making these cities the hub for the 
Kenai Peninsula. The housing market is relatively cheap where a house on
 the river is the same as a shack in a run-down neighborhood in 
Maryland.<br />

The school system is great with a few private schools including Cook 
Inlet Academy, where teachers strive to give students a faith-based 
education that rivals any major Christian school in the lower 
forty-eight. All that can be said is give the twin cities a try, even on
 a vacation and you will be immediately hooked to the amazingness that 
is Soldotna and Kenai.<br />

<h3>
4. Rural Life</h3>
<a href="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Rural_Life.jpg"><img alt="Waterfront Homes at Petersburg Alaska" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-588" height="333" src="http://cafe4g.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Rural_Life.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

Last but not least, for you rural folks, Alaska has that too. Other 
than the hubs of Anchorage, Soldotna, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska’s 
population is spread-out over hundreds upon hundreds of small towns and 
villages that spot the largest state in the union like chicken pox. If 
you like living out deep in the woods far from civilization, Alaska has 
it.<br />

If you want to live within ten minutes of town but feel like you are 
in the middle of nowhere then Alaska has it too. All-in-all, Alaska has 
every setting you could possibly think of (minus white-sandy beaches…oh 
wait, Kenai has one of those) when it comes to places to live. I think, 
Alaska is a housing jewel often not seen by most. One day I’ll 
definitely move to one of these best places to live in Alaska.</div>
