Areas to Live on Guam

North: Suburban Living

If you are stationed at Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB), the Northern region is likely where you’ll call home.
This area offers an island suburban feel with primarily single-family homes and some apartments.

The Vibe: Suburban, family-oriented, and community-centric.
Amenities: Home to convenient grocery & restaurant hubs.
Proximity: Excellent for those working at Andersen; max 20–30 minute drive to most central amenities.
Central: Convenience & Entertainment

The central area is the most “happening” place on Guam, with most of the island’s entertainment, nightlife,
and tourist infrastructure located here. This is an ideal location for people who prefer convenience.
While it is a longer commute to the bases, many find the trade-off well worth it.

The Vibe: Urban, energetic, and convenient. This is the closest you’ll get to city living on Guam.
Amenities: All major shopping centers, hotels, Tumon Bay, and the most restaurants.
Proximity: About 45 minutes to 1 hour to the southern tip of the island, and around 30 minutes to the north.
South: Nature & Peace

The southern region of Guam is close to Naval Base Guam, also known as “Big Navy.” This area is characterized
by its natural beauty and lower level of development. Those who prefer a more relaxed and rural setting will
find Southern Guam to be an ideal choice. The south also offers some of the best hiking and adventure on Guam,
with many hidden gems.

The Vibe: Relaxed, jungly, and scenic.
Amenities: Fewer restaurants and smaller grocery stores, trading convenience for nature.
The Commute: Living here means a very short commute to Big Navy. Getting to Central Guam can take 20–45 minutes, depending on where you are.
