West Sound Housing currently consists of 1,341 Public Private Venture (Forest City) units and 870 Navy owned units. Forest City units are located on Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, Bangor and Keyport. The Navy owned units are located within Jackson Park Naval Housing area located next to the Naval Hospital about 4 miles north of Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton and about 9 miles south of  Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. All referral services for the combined 2211 units are currently conducted by the Naval Base Kitsap Housing Office located at Bangor Plaza on Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. Housing eligibility requirements can be foundonline.

If you complete and submit an application within 30 days of reporting, your control date (the day you will be eligible for housing) will be your previous duty station's detachment date. If you complete an application after this 30-day window, the date you turn in your application becomes your control date. Control dates set your position on the wait list. Waiting times vary depending on bedroom entitlements, pay grade, and pet considerations. It may be necessary for you to make other arrangements in the civilian community until base quarters become available. You may want to consider a pre-move house-hunting trip to facilitate your move to Naval Base Kitsap.

All residents must complete the following for placement on the Housing Waiting List:  

• Application DD Form 1746
• Addendum to DD Form 1746, Registered Sex Offender Form. (Sex offenders are prohibited from Navy Housing)
• A copy of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders or Change of Homeport Certificate
• Detaching Endorsement (can be forwarded at a later date)
• Exceptional Family Member Program endorsement, if applicable

There are pet units available, having a pet is a conditional privilege and residents are financially and legally responsible for any damages or harm caused by their pets.

Forest City provides some Renters Insurance in the amount of $10,000.00 for personal property.  It is recommended that all Navy Personnel that rent housing acquire Renters Insurance from a private carrier whether they are in Navy Housing or in local community housing.
