Homes.mil

HOMES.mil is an official Department of Defense (DoD) website, dedicated to helping Service Members, DoD civilians, and their families find housing.  The website enables Navy Housing Service Center (HSC) professionals, property managers and Service Members to find and share vital information about non-discriminatory rental listings.

Create an account on the secure HOMES.mil website and start searching, it's as easy as entering the installation name. You can refine your search to include what is most important to you in your housing search:

  • HOMES.mil contains listings for most CONUS and OCONUS installations.

  • Registered users can view listing details and property manager contact information.

  • You can use any email account to register; a “.mil” email is not required.

  • You can compare listings side-by-side, and save preferences and favorite listings.

Some Installations on HOMES.mil are abbreviated or part of a group. For Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story search “JEBLCFS” and for Northwest Annex search “Hampton Roads”.
