It really depends on where, but if you enjoy anything to do with the outdoors, especially harvesting/growing your own food (berries, fish, moose etc), it's hard to beat. I've only lived off the road system (and only in the summer) and there are a lot of things that suck about that (cost of food/fuel, availability of utilities/phones/internet) but all of my friends that have lived in Anchorage/any of the smaller towns in Southcentral and the Kenai Peninsula have only great things to say about it.
