**The Best Thing About Anchorage?** Incredible natural beauty

It isn’t always easy to get to, but Anchorage -- and Alaska in general -- offers views and vistas,  and for winter lovers -- snow, show and snow. Alaskans in general eschew dressing up, opting to dress for the weather rather than for each other. 

**The Worst Thing About Anchorage?** Dark and gloomy winters

The sun is in hibernation during most of the winter, leaving those who live in Anchorage with precious few moments of actual sunlight. The persistent darkness can try the hardiest of souls, but for those who weather the storm, a summer full of sun is their reward.

**How You Living?** Expensively

Anchorage is expensive, with basic foodstuffs at some of the highest prices in the nation. Some of this is mitigated by lack of sales tax, but it can affect the quality of life. But there are good jobs to be had, and the remote and picturesque lifestyle might be worth the trade-off.


**Why You Should Move Here Now?** 

Anchorage has no pretense and it is not going under any major change. If you are looking for a place away from the states -- and don’t mind the cold -- Anchorage might be the place for you.
