"The Military's Best Housing"
This is the initial reaction of families after they are welcomed at the Fort McCoy Family Housing office. When they learn Fort McCoy is not only a beautiful, scenic community to live and work in, but also offers state of the art facilities, housing and services for training, fitness and entertainment they are very pleasantly surprised.
Of the Family homes, the majority were constructed in 1992. There are both enlisted and officer homes with a community center, maintenance center, tot lots, basketball courts, RV lot, ball diamond, and a hike-bike trail. The well designed 3 and 4 bedroom homes have full basements, garages and beautiful landscaping.

Community Housing
Families and individuals desiring to rent a home will find the services of Family Housing very helpful.
Our Housing Services representative actively coordinates with landlords and Realtors to insure listings of apartments, town houses and homes to either rent or purchase are available. The Housing Services Office (HSO) is your contact for any questions or problems about off-post housing. The HSO will provide you a list of rentals with corresponding locator maps and give you information regarding the communities in which the rentals are located. All renters should carry renters insurance against fire, theft, liability, and other damages. The property owner's insurance will cover the property but not the renter's personal property.
