Quick Answer
A military move can involve compressed timelines, remote planning, housing decisions and coordination among several parties. For people moving to or from the Las Vegas area, Nellis Air Force Base provides official newcomer and housing resources, while local real estate representation can help with the purchase or sale of a home.
Start With Official Nellis Resources
Nellis provides current newcomer information covering matters such as lodging, in-processing, housing, installation resources and relocation support. Use the official Nellis Air Force Base newcomer page as the source, and for a deeper look at the area see living near Nellis Air Force Base.
On-Base vs. Off-Base Housing
Military members may have different housing choices depending on eligibility, assignment and circumstances. The official Housing AF Nellis AFB page should be your source for current base housing information.
Buying Off Base
If you purchase in Greater Las Vegas, consider commute, timeline, financing, HOA, property condition, resale considerations and your situation during a remote tour. Start with the PCS to Nellis housing guide and the VA home loan guide.
What Should You Know About VA Financing?
VA loans can provide significant benefits to eligible borrowers, but lending guidance should come from the Department of Veterans Affairs and an appropriately licensed mortgage professional. Start with the VA home loan resources on VA.gov.
Selling During a PCS
If orders create a tight timeline, begin early when possible. A seller may need to coordinate preparation, listing, showings, offer review, inspection, appraisal, closing and move timing. See selling during a military relocation for the step by step.
