Housing
If you’re looking for a more traditional suburban environment in which to settle down in Juneau, then you should consider the Mendenhall Valley, as your next home. The area features beautiful landscapes, and a glacier- a tourism favorite. It is also home to numerous schools and residential neighborhoods, making it the perfect choice for young families to live and grow together.
One of Juneau’s most desirable areas in which to live, however, is the Auke Bay/Tee Harbor district. As its name suggests, it is an upscale waterfront neighborhood, with outstanding views of the surrounding mountains and bay area. There are also many homes set back from the waterfront, but still have a wonderful view of the Alaskan wilderness. Easily Juneau’s most beautiful place to live, it is an easy 15-20 minute drive to the city.
Regardless of your lifestyle, Juneau and its surrounding neighborhoods offers housing and entertainment guaranteed to suit all personalities and budgets.
