MCAS NEW RIVER BASE HOUSING: 8 ON-BASE OPTIONS

Introduction

Welcome to Marine Corps Air Station New River, located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. In 2014, Forbes ranked Jacksonville as the fifth-fastest growing small city in the United States. This is largely attributed to the military presence, as Jacksonville is also home to nearby Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the largest Marine base on the east coast. Jacksonville is adjacent to the Crystal Coast, an 85-mile stretch of coastline that is a popular tourist destination in the summer. We hope this on-base guide for MCAS New River base housing provides a valuable resource.

Submit on-base housing applications to the Family Housing Office. The PPVs offer many unique neighborhoods with a variety of floor plans that meet the needs of most families. There are seven DoDEA schools on MCB Camp Lejeune/MCAS New River, so K-12 schools are within a short walk or drive of all neighborhoods. All communities are also near the commissary and MCX. The communities are near plenty of beaches, parks, and shopping. For the golf fans, Paradise Point Golf Course is a short walk or drive away. Amenities vary at each neighborhood but pets are welcome in each community. Contact the PPVs for specific breed restrictions.
