Housing

The Housing Management Office is your link to both on-base and off-base housing information. Experienced, knowledgeable personnel will assist you with on-base housing assignments, as well as off-base rental & sales listings of houses & apartments within the National Capital Region (NCR). If specific information regarding on-base or off-base housing is required prior to arrival, please contact the Housing Office.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling is located in Southeast D.C. Local areas considered within a 60-minute commute off base during rush hour traffic include the entire area of D.C., nearly all of Prince George's County, small portions of Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles & Montgomery Counties in Maryland, as well as the city of Alexandria, most of Fairfax County & all of Arlington County in Virginia.

Finding a home off base is fairly easy, however, the associated costs may be higher than what you are currently paying. Pets routinely require a substantial deposit in many local area rentals.

Single Service Member Housing

Single, permanent-party members in grades E-4 & below are required to reside in the dormitory & must report to their First Sergeant and/or the dormitory superintendent upon arrival for room assignment. There is limited single NCO accommodations on base but there are more located within the NCR. Geographical Bachelor housing is possible on a space available basis. USAF Honor Guard & USN Ceremonial Guard personnel are assigned to their own dormitories near their units.

Housing in the local community runs the spectrum from studios, furnished & unfurnished apartments, townhomes, house rentals & new home construction as well as resale – city, suburban, small town, rural. Those seeking a more metropolitan setting may choose to live in the District. Those seeking a rural setting may choose the farther reaches of Charles, Calvert ,or St. Mary's Counties in Maryland. Many choose to live in Alexandria, Virginia, or to commute from further south in Virginia or slightly north in Prince George's County, Maryland.

There are no mobile home lots on base, however, several are available in the local area.

Where you chose to live is a highly personal matter & you need to take into consideration your needs & preferences as well as those of your family. We suggest you visit the area & drive around; talk to people that are already here. If you plan on a house hunting TDY, consider contacting a realtor to show you around the available properties. Regardless of what you choose to do, the housing office should be your first stop. They can provide information on housing availability & lists of housing in the area tailored to your needs. 

Housing Referral Office (HRO) -- Your contact for any problems you may encounter (discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions/problems about off post housing) is the HRO. Staff are available to assist you in a person-to-person basis to make your move to this installation an easy & pleasant one. They can provide a list of rentals with corresponding locator maps & give you information regarding the area in which rentals are located.
