McChord AFB: The Bricks

The Bricks

On McChord AFB


Air Force, Officer

Previously lived in: Dover, San Antonio, Lakewood

"On base housing"

Shared townhome. It's 3 bedrooms, open concept downstairs. There's a big enough laundry room to accommodate queen size machines, but probably not king. The flooring is hit or miss downstairs. We had carpet, the other 4 people had hardwood. The neighborhood is on the Air Force side, but primarily army families. We loved it, perfect fit for the two of us and a dog. The house could easily have 1 child, but did have lead paint at one point. No AC, and radiator heating. You're not allowed to put up a fence because it's historic housing, but be advised that there is a dog park nearby (also not fenced in). No pantry. Really quiet, low traffic area. We loved it.

Pros Cons

  3. Safe
  1. No AC
  2. Townhome
  3. No fence
  • Recommended: Yes
  • Appearance: well manicured with grass cut, looks uniform, historic, neighborhood parks
