San Diego is a great place to live, and fortunately, you have lots of options when it comes to military housing.

Read on to learn about MCRD San Diego housing, other military housing available in the area, San Diego BAH, and how to find your next home sweet home.

San Diego BAH

San Diego BAH, or Basic Allowance for Housing, can be used for military family housing or for non-military housing, apartments, and rentals. The official BAH calculator can be found here. You can use the MCRD San Diego zip code of 92140 to see what housing allowance you rate for MCRD San Diego housing. Keep in mind, while military family housing may take all of your BAH, it also typically covers basic utilities (like electricity, water, sewer, and trash).
