Housing in the Local Community
The Housing Management Office (HMO) provides all DoD personnel with personalized services to assist in locating suitable housing in the local community. Although moving is sometimes stressful, it can also be an exciting opportunity to live off base and experience a new location. The HMO will assist you every step of the way to help you find your new home in the local community.
Housing Services
Contact the HMO as soon as you know you are moving. The government housing team will provide you the latest information on the local housing situation and offer complete referral services and relocation assistance to make sure you find a quality place to live.
Support services range from helping members understand their lease agreements and the necessity for a military release clause to assisting in resident and landlord dispute resolution, among many others.
The HMO partners with landlords, realtors and property managers to make sure you receive the most current information about the local housing market. The HMO also monitors housing units offered for rent to the military community.
Rental Partnership Program
At Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station, the HMO supports the Rental Partnership Program to help military members obtain adequate housing in the community. The HMO and local landlords enter into agreements to offer service members special rental benefits above what other tenants receive. Typical benefits might include a waiver of security and utility deposits, no credit checks or application fees, a discount on market rental rates and immediate access to housing. Contact the Weapons Station HMO for more information about this program.
Community Housing Units
Prior to seeking off-base housing accommodations, military members are encouraged to check in with the HMO (Building 323 on Joint Base Charleston) for a briefing and for counseling. The HMO will provide you with invaluable assistance regarding both on and off base housing availability. Off-base housing is readily available and within close proximity to the base. Charleston offers a wide variety of housing options to include apartments, houses, townhouses and condominiums.
Rental Options
Generally, rental rates are moderate to high with the average unfurnished apartment ranging from $650 for a two-bedroom to $900 for a three-bedroom. The vacancy rate in the local community averages 9%.
Purchase Options
Homes for sale are plentiful, but there is limited public transportation. Typical prices for homes range from $165,000 to $336,000 for new three and four bedroom houses.
Contact HMO for any concerns or issues you encounter (discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions/problems about off base housing). Housing Referral Assistants are available to assist you to ensure your move is an easy and pleasant experience. For information about the housing allowances that financially support your move, see Referral and Relocation Assistance.
Personal Property Insurance
You need to obtain legal liability and personal property insurance for your possessions and should choose the options and amounts that best fit your needs and lifestyle. Before purchasing your insurance, please consult the HMO for more information about coverage.
School Information
For families, we understand that where your children attend school plays a large factor in the decision of where to live.
The Charleston area includes schools located in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. Parents of school-age children are encouraged to research schools prior to signing leases for housing.
