Off Base Housing

Single service members and geographic bachelors are strongly encouraged to check in with housing before starting an independent housing search. The Housing Service Center assists service members to find housing in the local. The Housing Service Center has listings of affordable apartments, condos and mobile homes as well as a database of available houses for rent. Most rental properties require a 6-12 month lease; be sure your lease includes a military clause. There are very few furnished apartments for rent. The Housing Service Center can help with lease screening, and tenant rights and relations.
