South Van Horn Home for Sale

South Van Horn in Fairbanks is a predominantly industrial neighborhood with a mix of manufactured homes and more upscale residences. The east end features single- and double-wide trailers along Lakeview Terrace, adjacent to a gravel pit that doubles as a small lake. These homes benefit from city water and sewer services, and a homeowners association manages snow removal. The west end, between Industrial Avenue and Peger Road, has ranch-style and two-story homes surrounding a private lake, often with large driveways accommodating boats and RVs. The neighborhood experiences slower property sales compared to the national average, and homes tend to stay off the market for extended periods. South Van Horn has a lower crime risk compared to the national average. Residents often drive due to the lack of sidewalks, with Van Horn Road and Lathrop Street providing key connections to local businesses and the expressway. Fairbanks International Airport, located just west, offers both private and commercial flights. Dining options include Spice It Up for Mediterranean fare and Hotspot Café for hearty meals, while Black Spruce Brewing Company is known for its award-winning craft beers. For shopping, Downtown Fairbanks is about 3 miles north, with a nearby Safeway for groceries. Cushman Lake, part of the Tanana Lakes State Recreation Area, is a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and bird watching. The lake is frequently stocked with fish, and migratory birds, including bald eagles, are common sights. The neighborhood also features Ascension Rock Club, Fly Trampoline Park, and South Davis Park, which hosts various sports leagues and the Big Dipper Ice Arena.
