Places to Live in Alaska
Alaska is the nation’s largest state by land area and offers an unusually remote mix of coastal communities, mountain ranges, forests, tundra and vast wilderness. Most residents are concentrated around Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula, Fairbanks and Southeast Alaska, while many communities are accessible primarily by air or water.
