    Soft orders.... Lol can change. Speaking from experience. Don't buy a house! Do not actually make promises to friends or family about anything if they live in the area. Lol mostly because it's painful to break that news when you are already hurting over changed plans. Sponsors are military wide. Sometimes they do a great job and sometimes they are just a name in an email.

      I really like the housing so far. We haven’t had any issues. Maintenance has been quick to respond when we need anything. The only thing I would complain about is we constantly have spiders in the house and I have no clue how to get rid of them, but I do have housing spray for bugs every month. If you have your eye on a certain neighborhood or floor plan don’t be afraid to ask for it. They worked to get us the floorplan we wanted, our move in date was just a little later.

    • @lizlorette8976
      @lizlorette8976 4 роки тому

      Hey love! Not intrusive at all. Because he is an E-7 you guys will live in a different neighborhood. I believe they have nicer finishes on the houses in the neighborhoods you qualify for. I think you guys will also get a two car automatic garage instead of the single car manual garage we have. (Sooooo jealous!!! lol) When you live in base housing, your rent will be equal to whatever your BAH amount is. Search Fort Lee Family Housing and you'll find the website for the housing office. On there, you can put in his rank and how many dependents he has, and it will show you the houses you qualify for. 💕
