FAIRBANKS, AK - Weidner Apartment Homes, a privately-held global real estate investment and property management company, acquired the single-family townhome community, Birchwood Homes in Fairbanks, AK. Birchwood Homes is an excellent off-base housing choice for U.S. Military families who prefer to live outside Fort Wainwright Military Base and frequent business travelers due to its fully furnished options. This acquisition marks Weidner’s first property in Fairbanks and their 45th community in AK.
Birchwood Homes holds 400 one and two-story townhomes and offers 11 different floor plans of spacious three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes ranging in sizes between 1,860 to 2,185 square feet. Each home includes two and a half baths and a temperature-controlled insulated garage. The community also offers multiple ADA-accessible homes. Each layout features an in-unit washer and dryer, a private patio or balcony, oversized closets, a cedar front and back porch, and 12-inch-thick insulated walls to reduce noise transfer.
The townhomes are also built to withstand AK’s elements with features like high-quality triple-pane windows with wood grills, a heated arctic entry to reduce heat loss, an electric thermostat, and a state-of-the-art heating system designed for noise reduction and efficiency.
Residents have access to several outdoor amenities that contribute to the community’s neighborly atmosphere. Birchwood Homes’ amenities include two tennis courts, a playground, a basketball court, an extensive jogging path, and 17 tot lots. The community also has on-site maintenance and management teams and is pet-friendly.
Birchwood Homes is located at 1066 Turnagin Loop Fairbanks AK, 99701, in the Hamilton Acres neighborhood. It is less than ten minutes east of downtown Fairbanks and six minutes west of the area’s major employer, Fort Wainwright Military Base. The community is also approximately 15 minutes from Bassett Army Community Hospital, the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, and Fairbanks International Airport. Residents live in The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and are a short commute to the zoned elementary, junior high, and high schools. The neighborhood places residents in the center of Fairbanks’ natural attractions with the Chena River, Birch Hill Recreation Area, Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, and Hamilton Acres Park minutes away.
