NS Pearl Harbor Navy Base in Oahu, HI

NS Pearl Harbor – also referred to as Pu’uloa among the natives – is by far the most important base in the history of American wars. It is actually the reason for which the United States decided to join World War II, after the famous attacks conducted by the Empire of Japan on December, 7-th, 1941. The station is among the largest bases in the world. Its services are easily comparable to a huge city. For instance, over 2.5M passengers go through it every year, as well as 200K vehicles on over 65K boat runs. The base is located west of Honolulu, in Hawaii.

Housing

The housing system is very important and diversified, mostly because of the size of this base. The long term inhabitants will most likely get a home from the army. Although it is not free, the overall costs are light and insignificant. Those who are dispatched there for short periods of time can opt for an army based housing system or a hotel. The citizens who are unable to find a home fast can also choose the privatized system at NS Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The prices are usually higher, but the conditions are definitely better.
