Perhaps there is no city more illustrative of Alaska's natural beauty than its capital city. Downtown Juneau sits at the base of Mount Juneau, Mount Roberts, and Gastineau Channel and blends charming old storefronts and quaint homes with stunning views. The town was once a hotspot for gold mining and has a rich history that includes Native American roots and a few remaining tinges of Russian cultural influence. As the second most populated city in Alaska, residents enjoy a lively downtown scene that includes local bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and more that keep residents engaged and warm. Juneau can only be reached by airplane or boat, adding to the city's allure. It's also a destination for whale watching tours and Arctic cruises, as well as hiking both the nearby mountains and Mendenhall Glacier. Mount Roberts Trailhead is a great hiking area, and Savikko Park, referred to as Sandy Beach, overlooks the glistening water and gorgeous mountain peaks. Most of the apartments in Juneau include decades-old developments, as construction is quite the challenge in this secluded city, but there are newer apartments cropping up along with single-family cabins for rent. The cost of living in Juneau has seen increases, with the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment around $1,800 per month.
