Military Housing without the Military

If you ever wanted to live on a military base, but didn't want to join up, now's your chance.  The realignment of Brooks AFB into the civilian Brooks City-Base is making it possible. 

Available: 163 rental homes and duplexes in quiet, shady, 1950s ranch-style neighborhood. Two to four bedrooms, carports, guarded gate. Smaller pets OK.

There are plenty of shopping options practically within walking distance:  HEB, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, etc. The school district is San Antonio ISD, which may hold some of you back, but if you are good parents and spend time teaching your kids the things that you know, I think they'll be fine.  You might even be able to get a job on the base.

You better hurry because over half of them have already been leased.  Prices range from $850 for a small two-bedroom to $1,750 for a large four-bedroom.
