~Steph~

I've never been there. Don't even think we can go to that one. Hope you get some help!

I have heard it is beautiful but I have never actually seen them:confuzzle

Hey!!! i was just there!! OMG i soooo wanted to live in the officers houses, they were like freakin mansions lol...anyhow the temporary living quarters i stayed in had two rooms 3 beds, a kitchen and laundry room, and lots of stuff included for 30 bucks a night...it was really great...do have a specific question or something you were wondering about?? i'd be happy to help :hi

Well my hubby was wanting us to live off base but where we are going to be new I didn't really want to just jump into an apartment I don't know anything about ,so I was trying to find some good info to tell my hubby WHY we should live on base at first..

Hey :) That was my base before this one and I LOVED it!! It's been 3 years but 3 years ago...I would say rent in Surprise or buy a house in Surprise. I loved it there. It was quiet and pretty and right near all the shops. It's also about 10-15 from base. Now base housing I lived in the newest housing they had. They didn't even have gate Guards there yet. But it was beautiful housing and very spacious.

I was never stationed there because we are Navy but I am from that area. If you can afford to buy there then it may be a good investment if the market goes up when you need to sell. Home prices have gone way up in the last few years but it is definitely a buyers market because people are having a really hard time selling so the negoiation is alot better. I am not sure what the BAH is but I can pretty much tell you that its probably not enough to cover rent/mortgage and utilities.

Oh, I was there yearssssssssss ago! Haha....I lived there as a girl when my dad was stationed there, but that was in the 70's(YIKES!) so I know it has changed a bunch!

My mom lives right by luke! In Litchfield Park. I love watching the planes play around when I am there!

the city of suprise has some nice nice houses, if i were you i would stay off base...i mean if it doesn't matter too much to you the off base houses in the surrounding city are really nice and spacious

Thank you all soooo much for all the advise
