Lakewood Subdivision - Homes w/ Airstrip Access Fairbanks Alaska

Lakewood Subdivision Fairbanks Alaska

With barely 14,000 miles of road in a state covering 570,000 square miles (more than twice the size of Texas), it's easy to see why Alaskans rely so heavily on air travel. And, with 1 in 53 Alaskans holding a pilots license, we do a lot of flying. While many folks opt to keep their planes at Fairbanks International or Metro Field, there's something to be said for stepping out your front door and into your plane. Whether for convenience or security it's a feature most neighborhoods don't offer.Lakewood Subdivision Fairbanks Alaska

Lakewood Subdivision in North Pole is an aviation friendly community. Comprised of 54 one-acre (+/-) home sites surrounding a 150' by 1,500' gravel and grass airstrip. At 1,500' the field is large enough for a super cub, 180 or 185 to get in and out of with little effort, if not fully loaded. As of this writing there are still a few undeveloped home sites available. View the Lakewood Subdivision plat or follow the link for directions.

Most are single family homes, but there are a couple of multi-family properties. Several have incorporated a large hanger into the home design while others simply keep their plane parked behind/beside the house, ready to go wheels up at a moments notice. As an added bonus the home sites on the eastern subdivision boundary border Chena Lakes Recreation Area.

Below are a few of the homes in Lakewood Subdivision.

A few days ago I wrote a post about the Christmas In Ice event happening in North Pole. The Ice Park is just beautiful... it's still open and will even be open limited hours on Christmas Day.

If you haven't had the opportunity to stop by the park, I encourage you to do so. Take the kids and turn them loose on the ice slides while you marvel at the beautiful ice carvings. Admission is $5.00 per day for adults and $3.00 for children under 12. A season pass is also available.
