Government Housing

Nearly 6,880 housing units are available for Camp Pendleton personnel at a variety of housing areas aboard the base. Housing areas and units are detailed in the charts below.

Application 

Application for assignment to family housing may be made in person by submitting DD Form 1746. This form can also be sent by U.S. mail or faxed to 760-725-5559. The application will be activated upon receipt of the check-in endorsement and other documents pertinent to each individual family. Normally, personnel who wish to live in off-base housing will be permitted to do so. For more information, call 800-843-2182, 760-725-5995 or DSN 364-1656; email pndlfamiliy@housing.mil. Barracks are available for single service members.

Availability

The waiting list for base housing will fluctuate due to the time of year as well as family size and number of bedrooms required. The housing waiting list also depends on the housing area location. Please contact the Housing Office to determine how long the wait is for your desired housing needs.

Eligibility

Eligibility for assignment begins with a control date which is normally the date of detachment from the last permanent duty station. Waiting periods range from one to 16 months and may vary according to rank, family size and area requirements. Once checked-in, you have 30 days to be placed on the waiting list with a control date of your detachment date. If you go beyond the 30-day limit, your effective date on the housing list will be the day you sign-up.

Insurance

It is highly recommended that everyone living on base housing gets rental and liability insurance (to include water damage). Personnel living on base housing are liable for up to $49,000 in damages to their place of living.
