Housing

If you are coming to Dahlgren, off-base housing in the local community near the base is limited, expensive and hard to find. Temporary housing is also limited with only one small facility on base and few motels and hotels off base. It is recommended to utilize sponsorship through your command to locate housing. Because the search for housing can be difficult, service members are advised to delay moving their families to NSASP until plans for housing are solidified. The Housing Service Center can also assist you with community housing options. All military personnel must report to the HSC prior to entering an agreement to obtain off-base housing.

HSC is your contact for any problems you may encounter, including discrimination complaints, tenant-landlord disputes or any questions or problems about off-base housing. The HSC will provide you with locator maps and give you information regarding rental homes and communities. All renters should carry renters’ insurance against fire, theft and other damages. Renters’ insurance protects your personal property, while the property owner's insurance only covers the property. Please remember to transfer your coverage after signing any leases or agreements. Ask about the availability of a rental partnership program if you are planning to rent.
