485 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for Rent in Alaska

Homes for rent in Alaska typically go for $2,000/mo, but pricing varies widely depending on city, location, and inventory. Anchorage is usually the most expensive place to rent in Alaska, with 1-bedroom units at $1,384/mo and 2-bedroom units hitting $1,919/mo.

Many Alaska rentals are pet-friendly since the state’s inventory is mostly cabins, single-family homes with yards, or large duplexes. Landlords in suburban areas are usually more open to accepting tenants with dogs and multiple pets than landlords in densely populated urban condos. However, renters often encounter breed and weight restrictions — even in pet-friendly apartments. Alaska renters should always ask the landlord about their policy directly to avoid application delays.

When it comes to senior housing, Alaska’s biggest cities have the most availability, especially Fairbanks and Juneau. Renters interested in subsidized age-restricted properties in large metros should apply early and consider multiple options simultaneously. Be sure to check on the unit’s proximity to healthcare, and consider how they handle snow removal to accommodate accessibility during severe winter weather.

Landlords often list short-term, fully furnished houses for rent in Alaska, especially around cruise ports and other areas with high tourist activity. To find furnished rentals, Alaska renters can use Rentler’s ‘furnished amenities’ filter. For short-term rental opportunities and flexible agreements, the ‘lease length’ filter on Rentler is a great way to cut through the noise.

Whether you’re looking for luxury apartments or Alaska townhouse rentals, the best place to search for high-end listings is in the South Addition, Hillside, Douglas Island, and Bear Valley neighborhoods. Alaska’s luxury rental inventory includes both waterfront and mountain properties. Renters can sort listings by highest price first and use Rentler’s ‘year built’ filter. Newly constructed units with high prices usually include upgraded features, such as smart home technology, premium finishes, and even heated flooring and parking.
