Military Housing PAX River - Need Advice

[bulldog]

Just got out of a meeting with the housing reps and there are currently 22 homes available for Enlisted folks. These are brand new homes with garages that you could be assigned to today, NO WAIT.
Good luck.

Are they still building homes in Challenger Estates? If there are other homes available, why not go to them instead of waiting?

I believe the issue was schools. In that they wanted the kids to go to Evergreen, and not ones they would if they were on base.

Tina--We're moving to Pax and should be there in a couple weeks. I'd be happy to take some pictures of the Lovell Court (or Cove, I've heard it called both, lol) housing when we get there! Housing said it's exactly the same as Challenger Estates and there are 3 and 4 bedroom units, brand new. We wanted to live off base but they are reserving those for Officers for the most part, so we'll probably end up in Lovell.

Thank you! I called housing today and the guy was very insistent that we would like Lovell because it is newest and on base. I do like living on base, but I need space and so I have emailed him and asked him to let me know which ones have the largest square feet, I don't know that he can even do this. I know a lot of the newer houses would have the nicest appliances and such, but sometimes the older houses have more square footage per room. I think we will probably end up in Lovell also, we have to put in our applications ASAP, and at this point it sounds like the most likely place we will be put.

Not around here. None of the older stuff is going to have the square footage of the new stuff. Not in enlisted quarters anyway.

Really, thank you for the info, that makes it easier!

Do you know if they are still letting enlisted move in there? I know some of the enlisted housing is being used for officers.

From what the Housing Manager told me, they are pretty much reserving the Colombia Colony housing, which are the only single family homes and probably the biggest, for Officers as this is apparently the only housing for them? They said the wait would be long if we wanted one.

The 4-bedrooms at Lovell average about 2100 square feet and are townhomes.

I think they are trying to put everyone in Lovell at this point. There is no wait for them as far as I know and I was told we would probably be able to pick one (by the manager) though the rep wasn't so sure.

Anyways, I sent you a PM with my e-mail address, just email me and I'll forward you the floor plans!
