Communities in the Quantico area
There is a variety of
off-base housing options available in the communities within commuting distance
of Quantico. Military personnel live both north of the base in Prince
William County (Triangle, Dumfries, Dale City, Montclair, Woodbridge & Lake
Ridge), and south of the base in Stafford & Spotsylvania Counties and the
city of Fredericksburg. Housing allowances, BAH, appear to be
appropriate for the surrounding area, but be prepared to pay some monthly
out-of-pocket expenses for off-base housing. Junior enlisted families
requiring two bedrooms or more will face a higher percentage of out-of-pocket
expenses.
