Discover Anchorage

Housing

One of the most enduring myths about Alaska is that the cost of living is exorbitantly high. While this may be true in certain remote parts of the state, prices in Anchorage, a modern city of 270,000 people, are actually lower that those found in many major U.S. cities. Consider the following:

Average cost of:

1-2 bedroom apartment $745 - $942/month
Utilities (gas and electric) for apartment $183/month
Food (two students) $209.22/month
