A military apartment is an apartment on a military base, giving tenants in the military quick access to the base. It offers discounts and benefits to members of the military and their families, making housing more affordable and convenient for them.
Living in a military apartment means you're living in a gated community, providing extra measures of safety and a close group of people in similar life situations. Military bases also have everything you need to live in comfort, such as grocery stores, gyms, schools and parks.
But living in such a tight community can feel different as you're living separately from other civilians and are around the same group of people each day. There's less privacy and everyone is usually in each other's lives and business, and work life is hard to separate from your home life.
