The Poland Housing Military Community primarily relies on Privatized Rental Housing to meet the housing needs of service members (SM) and their Command sponsored families. The HSO collaborates with local landlords, agents, and realtors to find suitable housing that meets mission needs. We have not encountered significant challenges in locating adequate housing, and on average, SM can find housing within two weeks of arrival and move in within the first thirty days.

Housing in Poland consists mainly of modern, newly renovated buildings and/or new constructions that meet or exceed U.S. standards. Most apartments are fully furnished; however, houses may range from fully furnished to unfurnished. Please consider the differences in property sizes, roads, and parking when deciding what to bring regarding your Household Goods (HHG) and Privately Owned Vehicle (POV).

Upon Arrival

Make sure to attend the mandatory in-processing briefing for all newcomers, held every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in Building 28 Auditorium, Camp Kościuszko Base, Poznan. You have 48 hours to report to Housing once you land. Remember, your TLA entitlements begin upon arrival.

HSO Poznan

Offers economical, fully furnished, modern apartments and houses to rent from landlords and managers within minutes of the gate.  Most owners are familiar with the process of renting to service members and DoD civilians. Upon your arrival, based on your needs and requirements, we will provide currently available rental offers. Polish vacant real estate is relatively volatile, decisions are directly dependent on your arrival time.
 

HSO Powidz and HSO Zagan

Offers housing that is usually 30 minutes or more away from the Forward Operation Site (FOS). These FOS are in remote areas and have limited transportation options. Finding suitable Housing options in these locations are possible but can be challenging. Please keep this in mind when viewing potential rentals.
