"JBLM Military Housing"

The military housing on JBLM post army side is not bad at all. Depends on how many family members you can base on how many bed rooms you get. There is always a guest bed room for that family member that likes to visit.
The kitchen has everything you need...for stove to frig to dishwasher. Some housing have hard wood floors and others have carpet.
Lawn care is always taken care of so no need to worry unless to have a fence in area. That would have to be taken care of by you.
Depends on the house or apartment you will have a garage with driveway or huge parking lot with street parking too.
Everything you need is on post and very close together. Here in Washington everything is near by off post too.

Pros Cons
  1. parks of kids to play at
  2. everything you need on post
  3. traffic on post is great
  4. everything is green
  1. i5 is the only main highway
  2. it rains 9 months out of the year
  3. off post traffic is bad
  4. the cost of living is high
  • Recommended: Yes
  • Recommendations: 1. new hillside 2. Clarkdale 3. Davis hill other towns on base are not that nice due to people not taking care of their area
  • Appearance: gated, well manicured with grass cut, looks uniform, curbs, common areas maintained, urban (downtown feel), suburban, neighborhood parks
  • Website: JBLM facebook
