military housing

Soldiers' living quarters

Military housing is residences provided for service members and their families, either on military installations (on-base housing) or in nearby civilian communities through housing allowances.

The quality and availability of military housing is a perennial concern for armed forces families: They lived in military housing for three years before buying a home off-base.
