Why Live in Ester

Ester, AK, a historic mining town and artist colony west of Fairbanks, offers a unique blend of history and community spirit. Founded in 1906 during the gold rush, Ester has evolved into a tight-knit community of around 2,400 residents, including professors from the nearby University of Alaska Fairbanks and creative individuals seeking a wilderness retreat. The Ester Gold Camp, with its historic saloons like the Golden Eagle Saloon and Malemute Saloon, remains the heart of the town, offering live music and a quirky dining experience. Flossie and May’s Coffee Shop is a local favorite for fresh-baked pastries. The town hosts numerous community events, including the LiBerry Music Festival and the Fourth of July parade, organized by the Ester Community Association. Ester Community Park features a multiuse field, amphitheater, and playground, with unmarked trails leading to Ester Dome and beyond, ideal for hiking, cross-country skiing, and dog mushing. Housing in Ester ranges from off-grid cabins to traditional two-story homes, often situated on multiple acres of wooded land. The area is known for its energy-efficient homes with holding tanks and septic systems. West Valley High in nearby Fairbanks is a highly rated school, offering career technical education courses. While Ester's roads can be challenging in winter due to heavy snowfall, the main routes, including state Route 3, are well-maintained. Fairbanks, with its additional amenities and the Fairbanks International Airport, is just 5 miles east, providing convenient access to more commercial options.
