There is plenty of variety when it comes to housing in Italy. Whether you end up living on-installation or find a house locally, it will be exciting to settle into your new home.

Aviano

There is no government housing for accompanied personnel on base at Aviano. You will receive an extensive Housing Brochure at the Wyvern Welcome that outlines the steps that must be taken to secure a rental home. Spouses are also welcome to the briefing.

Unaccompanied airmen E-1 to E-3, and E-4 with less than three years of service will be assigned to an on-base dormitory at the UH Campus near the flight line in area F.

Key and essential personnel have access to governmentally leased housing that is within 15 minutes of the base.

Family Housing

Government family housing is available on-post in the Villaggio Della Pace community. The community includes the DoDEA schools, child development center, youth centers and a shoppette. You will not receive an Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) if you are assigned on-base family housing.

Government-leased Housing

Government-leased homes are typically entire apartment buildings or multi-home units leased by the U.S. government. The housing office is responsible for assigning homes to incoming families. The government pays for rent, utilities and maintenance, much like traditional on-post housing. You will not receive an Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) if you are assigned government-leased housing.

If no family or government-leased housing is available, you will need to seek a rental home off-base.

USAG Italy - Camp Darby

You will meet with Housing representatives during mandatory In-Processing. There is no family housing on Camp Darby, however, government-leased homes will be offered. Barracks are available for single soldiers.

If no government-leased housing is vacant, you must secure a private housing rental. Lists of approved homes are available at the Housing office.
