Steele Creek, Alaska: Enjoying fresh growth prospects from the ashes of the gold rush.
Whoever says that Steele Creek is just a ghost town from the remnants of the gold rush should come and see for themselves what it is now. Rich in mineral deposits, it was part of the Fortymile Country in the Interior Alaska region that thrived during the mining boom of 1886. With proofs of its mining legacy withered in time (a post office, trading house, marathon mill, mine camps and miners' cabins), residents refocused their livelihood towards education, healthcare and social services while modern developments are seen in Steele Creek's construction boom. The town was part of the Athabascan Indian homelands, before they were driven away by aggressive mining activities. Today, it is a Census Designated Place belonging to the Fairbanks North Star Borough. It covers a vast 92.84 square miles but only has a population of 6,662 as of the 2010 Census. See more
Steele Creek apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.
Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.
It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.
Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
