Most Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start searching for off-base housing in Jacksonville?

What are the benefits of living in an off-base apartment in Jacksonville instead of base housing?

With an off-base apartment, you won't need to worry about waiting lists for base housing. You'll also enjoy more flexibility to choose an apartment with features and amenities that match your monthly budget. Speaking of amenities, many of the apartments near the base in Jacksonville offer luxury perks (that are included with the monthly rent!) like swimming pools, fitness centers, dog parks, and outdoor kitchens. Depending on your monthly rent, you might find that you have leftover money from your housing allowance each month that can help pay other bills such as utilities or cable/internet. Apartments offer you the flexibility to choose a level of luxury that meets your lifestyle and budget, without worrying about a waiting list!

What are the cons to living in an off-base apartment in Jacksonville instead of base housing?

There are a few things you should consider before making the decision to live off-base. In an off base apartment in Jacksonville, you'll have a longer commute time to get to base. Traffic in Jacksonville can be a challenge, so do your research and check Google Maps to see what your commute will be like during peak times. By choosing an off base apartment, you're also putting more distance between your family and other military families. But, many of the apartments in the area host resident events where you can get to know your neighbors, so there's plenty of opportunity to build relationships with people in your community.
