McChord AFB: The Bricks

The Bricks

On McChord AFB


Air Force, Officer
20-30 years old
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
  1. Historic housing
  2. Quiet neighborhood
  3. Safe
  1. No AC
  2. Townhome
  3. No fence
  • Recommended: Yes
  • Appearance: well manicured with grass cut, looks uniform, historic, neighborhood parks
