10. Kenai
The final spot on our list goes to none other than Kenai, “The Village with a Past – City with a Future.” And that future is looking pretty exciting, judging by these numbers.
First of all, Kenai had the fifth most active life options per capita out of anywhere in the state. That includes gyms, rec centers, outdoor activities, etc.
It also ranked well for its number of restaurants, arts, and with places like Rainbow Bar, Kenai Joe’s, and Back Door Sports Bar, the sixth most nightlife listings per capita. Not exactly your Miami-style clubs or anything, but, hey, who doesn’t love a dive bar?
More Exciting than A Bear Attack
People think a lot of different things about Alaska—it’s cold (true), beautiful (very true), and, sure, there may be some bears milling about; but dotted around this rugged and sparsely-populated state are cities and places that are actually quite exciting. Places filled with restaurants, nightlife, and young people. Places like the ones above.
If you could use a little more excitement in your life, feel free to get in touch. Aside from creating thrilling lists like this one, we sell houses. Besides, we hear Ketchikan is just lovely—and very exciting—this time of year.
