If you’re like many members of the United States Armed Forces, you’ve joined the military to build a better life for yourself, your family and the vast population of citizens residing across the country. However, now that you’ve officially become part of the military, you’ll have other concerns on your plate—such as where you and your family will live. Some people choose to live on base, while others decide it’s better for them to live elsewhere. Which decision is right for you? Here are a few tidbits to help you as you weigh between living on base or in military housing in Chula Vista.
Quality Control
You may expect on-base military housing to be fairly regulated; because they’re kept and granted by the government, each residence will be well taken care of and perfect for your family’s needs. The reality is this idea couldn’t be farther from the truth. Much of today’s existing governmental military housing is in astoundingly poor shape. In fact, nearly half of housing you’ll find now (43 percent, to be precise) aren’t suitable to live in, and are wrought with such problems as outdated construction or appliances, or even disrepair.
This isn’t the case with military housing in Chula Vista! By choosing off base housing, you will be able to preview your new family home before you decide on it, so you know you’re choosing the best possible option for yourself and your family.
Considering Your BAH
Of course, it’s also important to keep your BAH (basic allowance for housing) in mind as you search for a primary residence. This stipend will typically cover both off- and on-base housing, so all you have to worry about is finding suitable arrangements. Military housing in Chula Vista is perfectly compatible with your BAH and, in many cases, may present as the most affordable and comfortable option for you and your family’s needs.
