Most newcomers to
Fort Carson will live off-post for at least a short time while they wait for on-post housing.
There are a variety of housing styles available for rental; from
apartments to large homes. There are also many new
home communities being built.
If you will be moving off-post
you should first report to the Housing Office for information. This office keeps an
updated list of local rentals. They can also provide information on local realtors.
Housing management can also help with landlord/tenant disputes and housing discrimination
complaints. You MUST consult with this office before entering into a rental contract,
lease or purchase agreement.
