What makes a home a "military home"? Military homes are defined as homes either for sale or rent in a military town.

Key Points for buying your military home:

1. Doesn't Need to be the Nicest House on the Block - If the home is located in the right area that fits the miltiary familiy's needs, they will choose a house that might be less attractive because they know they will only be there temporarily.

2. School Districts - Most military families with kids will only search for homes in a specific school district. They will move into a smaller home and make sacrifices to put their kids in a good school disctrict. Since military families move so often they make sure to find the best school each move.

3. Distance to Base - Commute times can make a big difference when choosing a miltiary home. Service members are gone so much throughout the year, most families would like them home as much as possible and not spending hours in the car commuting each day.

4. Family Friendly & Social - Some military families are looking for sense of community and want an off-base neighbrohood to be family friendly and social. When a service member is away, it's nice to have friends close by.

5. Safe Nieghborhood - Service members go in and out of town a lot, military families need a safe neighborhood where they know they will be safe day and night.
