Base Housing options on or off base near Schofield

• Schofield and Wheeler housing units are located on base.

• Helemano and Whitmore Village housing in Wahiawa is located off base.

• Pearlcity Peninsula is about 8 miles to Schofield Barracks and Wheeler and 4.5 miles from JBPHH

The cost of the units in comparison to living off post in terms of quality (wood floors, yard, etc) and price per square foot is pretty reasonable. From my own research off post, a 3bd, 2 bath home at 1400 square foot ran around $2800 which on post you can get up to 1700 sq ft same price. 

Housing said you can expect to wait up to 2-4 weeks before you get a place, however recommended you call at least 30 days prior to your arrival to get on the wait list to see if you can be placed when you arrive. I would call as soon as you get your orders - don’t wait!
