Unaccompanied Housing
Nellis provides 11 unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing facilities for nearly 1,074 Airmen. Facilities are centrally located and comfortable homes for the base's single community -- spacious dayrooms, laundry facilities, parking and ample storage space. Other feature individual bathrooms and storage, outdoor entertainment and barbecue areas.

Privatized/Military Family Housing
On May 1, 2006, the United States Air Force entered into a series of executed legal agreements with Nellis Air Force Base Properties LLC (Hunt Building) to privatize 1,178 housing units in two areas: Nellis Terrace and Manch Manor. This housing privatization project is intended for military service members and their families. Tenants will be required to sign a lease permitting military members to terminate due to military orders. Also, if a tenant's dependent or military status changes or the tenant is discharged from military service, such that the tenant would no longer be eligible for housing under this lease, this lease shall be terminated.

Military members will pay rent via allotment. The rental rate will consist of the military member's BAH minus a utility allowance of 110 percent of the estimated utility consumption for the unit, and will include all operation and maintenance as well as refuse collection. Rental and utility rates will be adjusted anytime there is a change in the tenant's BAH (Government increase to BAH, promotion, demotion, change in dependent status or an increase or decrease in utility rates). No additional deposits -- such as security or pet deposits -- will be required.

Nellis Air Force Properties LLC is responsible for all aspects of operation and maintenance of the lease premises for the duration of the project. Hunt, the property management company, is responsible for the day-to-day operations, to include maintaining a waiting list of qualified government/ military personnel based on grade and unit type. These prospective residents will be notified of unit availability and have first priority in leasing the unit(s). Privatized/Military Family Housing Neighborhoods
Privatized/Military Family Housing on base consists of Nellis Terrace and breaks down to the following categories:
• Junior Enlisted -- 685 two-, three- and four-bedroom single and duplex units range from 900- to 1,425-square-feet
• The Landings -- 569 three- and four-bedroom townhouses range from 1,519- to 2,028-square-feet
• Senior Enlisted -- 113 three- and four-bedroom single-family units range from 1,943- to 2,384-square-feet

• Field Grade -- 30 three-bedroom and 15 four-bedroom single-family houses range from 1,847- to 2,223-square-feet

The Developer
Hunt Building Corp., from El Paso, Texas, developed and manages the property. So far the company has demolished 915 units, renovated 363 units and constructed 815 new homes. Construction began in late 2006 and is expected to be completed by 2011. The first set of new homes opened at The Landings in March 2007, with new homes opening each month since then.

Off-Base Housing
Contact the base housing officials for a list of houses and apartments for sale or rent. Prices vary widely. Most rentals are furnished with stoves and refrigerators, and many prohibit pets or require a deposit. Houses for sale range from townhomes to four-bedroom ranch homes with pools.

Many companies specialize in locating apartments and houses. You can find free publications in convenience stores and supermarkets that list apartment complexes with pictures, maps, rental rates, length of leases, amenities and other useful information. Las Vegas is one of the most expansive and developing cities in the country, so a multitude of real estate agencies are more than willing to match homebuyers with their dream home and community.

But remember: Military members are required by AFI 32-6001 to report to the Housing Management Office (HMO) before entering into any rental or sales agreements for off-base housing.
