The Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson was established in 2010 after Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson merged. Elmendorf Air Force Base and nearby Fort Richardson were both built in 1940. The host wing, the 673d Air Base Wing consists of 5,500 military and civilian personnel.
Apartments in the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson area will most likely be found in the nearby city of Anchorage, which is just southwest of the base. Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, home to over 100,000 residents. In addition to military, Anchorage’s economy is also based around government, tourism, industry (especially petroleum) and transportation. Many corporate headquarters are also located in Anchorage, including ConocoPhillips Alaska.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
