Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Fort Sam Houston, Texas

If you are lucky enough to be posted to Texas, you may find that you need a home in or around Fort Sam Houston. This army base is close to San Antonio and is home to a number of different missions. After a merger with two other bases, it now comes under the command of the US Air Force and you may hear it referred to as Joint Base San Antonio.

This is a base that plays an essential role in the way in which the US is defended and a posting here is not to be taken lightly. There are plenty of period buildings here, thanks to the base’s long history. If you get posted here, you may find yourself moving to a military home that dates back to the 19th century, as this is when the base started life. Much of the expansion on the site took place before the turn of the 20th century, which is why there are so many historic buildings still in evidence.

Moving to military housing in this area is easy. The sheer size of San Antonio means that finding a home off-base is not going to be difficult, although you need to be aware that this is fairly expensive part of the world. Finding a new military home on-base is equally easy with the help of Lincoln Military Housing. There are eight villages and more than 900 different homes available. On-site housing can be bought or rented, depending upon the needs of you and your family.
