MCRD San Diego Housing
If you're about to make a military move, the list of PCS "to-do's" can feel overwhelming. One of the first items on your move list is likely finding a place to live at your new base. If you've gotten orders to MCRD San Diego, this article can help you learn about your options for MCRD San Diego housing. San Diego is a great place to live, and fortunately, you have lots of options when it comes to military housing. According to Military OneSource, military family housing in the San Diego region is the largest housing complex network in the world. But with so many options, where do you start? Right here! 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). If you live in non-military family housing, factor in these costs along with rental or mortgage costs when making your housing decisions.MCRD San Diego Barracks
