Frequently Asked Questions About Alaska Senior Moves & Senior Moving Services

What Is the Cheapest Way to Move to Alaska?

The absolute cheapest way to move to Alaska is to downsize everything you own to a suitcase or two, then hop on a flight.

For some people, that’s not a practical solution. In that case, you might consider:

A “less-than-container move” to Alaska – Tell one of our experts exactly what you want to move, and we’ll put together a custom-sized relocation package. Instead of paying for a full 20-foot or 40-foot container, you’ll only pay for the space you need. It’s one of the more economical ways to move to Alaska.

A “do-it-yourself” (DIY) move to Alaska – This might mean packing your vehicle with as much stuff as you can, hitching a trailer to your truck, or negotiating directly with a steamship line to move your container to Alaska. Before you go that route, read this article to make sure you understand exactly what you’re getting into. While the DIY route might save you some money, there are a couple of pitfalls that can end up costing you big. Our article will help you avoid them.

The other key to saving money on moving to Alaska is downsizing. Paring down your possessions will make your move simpler, and it can also keep your costs down since you’ll simply move fewer items.

If you’re a senior looking at an upcoming move, downsizing may already be on your radar. Check out our six tips for downsizing before your Alaska move, and we’ll help you lighten your load before your relocation.

Is It Expensive to Live in Alaska?

The figures from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC) rank Alaska as the sixth most expensive state to live in, with a cost of living that’s 26.4% higher than the national average.

However, MERIC’s data put the cost of living in New York, California, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and Hawaii as higher than Alaska. If you’ve been living in one of these areas, Alaska may feel less expensive to you.

What's It Like to Retire in Alaska?

Alaska offers a unique situation for seniors. Compared to other locations in the U.S., the state has a fairly low population of residents aged 65+. That said, the poverty rate for these residents is lower than you’ll find in the U.S., hinting at a good quality of life for seniors in Alaska.
