Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst

Cost of Living

JB MDL is considered a high-cost-living area. If you plan to rent off base, be prepared to pay 1 1/2 month's rent as a deposit, plus the first month's rent to lease an apartment. Single family homes to rent are difficult to find at reasonable rates (within BAH). Apartments, town homes, and condominiums are easier to find within or close to BAH. Other than housing and car insurance, the cost of living is average when compared with other areas of the US.
