📞 Click to Call ✉️ staceylynnhomes@gmail.comMost Schriever Space Force families don't realize that buying off-base with a VA loan puts thousands of dollars back in their pocket every year. Here's the math.
The closest communities to Schriever Space Force Base are Falcon (15 min, homes from $480K), Black Forest (20 min, $600K+), Briargate (25 min, D-20 schools, $500K+), and Northgate (28 min, $500K+). Most Schriever families choose Falcon for its short commute, newer builds, and strong value. Using a VA loan, qualified buyers can purchase in any of these areas with $0 down and no PMI.
When you live in on-base housing at Schriever SFB, you forfeit your entire BAH — the government keeps it to cover your housing cost. When you buy off-base with a VA loan, you keep your BAH and use it to pay a mortgage — building equity instead of handing money back.
These neighborhoods offer the best combination of commute, value, and quality of life for Schriever Space Force families.
