For housing:
I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve only lived in the fort wainwright area, Fairbanks and north pole. But there are nice places off post. My best advice is to live in Fairbanks only because there?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s only a couple fast food places and a Safeway in North Pole. And it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s about a 20-30 minute drive to fort wainwright. Fairbanks has all the stuff you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d need that?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s why I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d say to live in Fairbanks if you can.
Fort wainwright has been building new houses on post but as always theres a wait list. Fairbanks has its good spots and it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s not so good spots. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d say try NOT to live on any street off of Cushman St. That?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìbad?¢‚Ǩ¬ù part. There are two really nice apartments, Sophie Plaza and Jillian Square. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve lived in Jillian square and liked it. Also, when my husband and I first got married we went thru Centry 21 to find a rental and we LOVED our landlord.
As for tips, if you move on post, try to get a new house. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve lived in two older ones. One before it got renovated and one after it was renovated and both had a HORRID silverfish infestation. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d also say a garage is a huge plus in a house because who wants to pay outrageously for an autostart or have to plug in their vehicle? (it sucks. If it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s too cold your car won?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t start!) I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d also make sure there is a military clause in the lease agreement.

French Creek homes and they are VERY nice. Overall folks like it on post. It is small, but nice. Maintenance is very prompt and do an excellent job. The waiting list was not long.
