    Chena Ridge

    Chena, a mining town right next to Fairbanks, disappeared. That’s what many people thought, at least. After its population decline and eventual collapse in the early 1900s, no ruins or concrete maps existed. It was as if the town had just gotten up and walked away. Written histories, though, detailed the port city’s use of the Tanana River, the

    Farmers Loop

    Just north of Fairbanks, Farmers Loop is known for its privacy and seclusion. “Some people say we’re in the middle of nowhere, even though we’re about 5 miles from town,” says Joe Rafson, a golf professional born and raised in Fairbanks. “Not many tourists know we’re up here. It’s pretty quiet, and we get lots of wildlife like moose and foxes.”

    South Van Horn

    South Van Horn isn’t the prettiest or quietest part of Fairbanks, but it’s the central hub for many employers. “It’s the city’s industrial district,” says Anthony Musterd, who’s lived in the area for over three decades and works nearby. “But it’s growing fast, and there's a lot of new businesses coming in here. It’s still industrial, but you’re

    Ester

    Like many towns in Interior Alaska, Ester was founded on gold. Miners first discovered it when panning in Ester Creek in 1906, and people started flocking there soon after. By the end of that decade, the town had grown to 5,000 people, and five saloons were built around the mine. Gold production, though, had started to decline, and some residents

    Goldstream

    Goldstream was rustic and rugged when miners first came here in the early 1900s, and that pioneer spirit has carried into the modern day. “It’s more removed than neighborhoods closer to town,” says Justin Heminger with Apex Realty Group, a Fairbanks local selling here since 2015. “You don’t feel like you’re in the city. You can’t even see it most

    Home to the University of Alaska Fairbanks, College is a small community near the bigger city of Fairbanks.
