Housing

Housing options off post include apartments, condos, townhouses and single family homes. Furnished apartments are difficult to find. Most landlords require a one-year lease. It is extremely important that your lease contain a military clause allowing you to terminate your lease early should you deploy or receive permanent change of station orders. You may have the Army Housing Office (AHO) or Legal Assistance Office review your lease prior to signing it.

The AHO provides off-post housing assistance and referral to service members, their families and DOD civilian personnel. Military personnel must in-process through the AHO after signing in for duty and in-processing with Military Personnel Division. Soldiers may contact the AHO with any questions prior to signing a lease.

For information please call 845-938-2500 or visit the website.

Rental Options

Contact AHO for any problems you may encounter such as discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions or problems about off-post housing.  All renters should carry renters insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner’s insurance will cover the property but not the renter’s personal property.

Purchase Options

The cost of living for the area is extremely high. Local realtors can assist you in finding a suitable home to purchase.

Mobile Homes

West Point does not have a mobile home park.
