Welcome to Fort Sam Houston

The Fort Sam Houston Community offers 925 housing units from 2 bedroom - 1 bathroom to 5 bedroom -6 1/2 bath homes.  The community is divided into three housing villages, each with its own community center and housing office. Community centers feature a large pool, playground and resident center, with the full-sized Jimmy Brought Fitness Center located on-post. 

The original Patch/Chaffee village was constructed from 1931-1934 as two bedroom houses in the Spanish Revival style.  The village features single-story homes on broad lots with rear service lanes.  The Army recently completed the development of 60 MilCon units adjacent to the historic homes.  These new three and four bedroom units were completed in 2004.

Each pet-friendly home allows a two-pet maximum, and comes equipped with central air, refrigerator, stove and dishwasher.

In addition to ample playgrounds, each village has three tot-lots and the Fort Sam Houston Youth Center is located on-post.  Bowling, arts and crafts, fitness classes and eating vendors like Burger King®, Charley’s Steakery and Popeyes® are located on site.

Surrounding scenic parks include Salado Creek and McAllister, with ample shopping available along I-35 north.  The Corpus Christi beach is a scenic 2-hour drive away, while Rock Port, Port Aransas and Mustang Island also make wonderful places to visit.

Several pre-school and elementary schools are available on-post, and the Brooke Army Medical Center is located less than a mile from Fort Sam Houston.
