Pleasant Valley, AK

Pleasant Valley is a quiet, spread-out community about twenty miles east of Fairbanks along Chena Hot Springs Road. Set in the wooded hills along the Chena River, it appeals to people looking for privacy, larger lots, and an independent rural lifestyle. With the Chena River State Recreation Area just up the road, residents have easy access to miles of trails for hiking, snowmachining, and river fishing. Living here usually means making the drive into Fairbanks or North Pole for work and groceries, but you get open space, quiet surroundings, and dark winter skies for watching the northern lights in return.
