All military personnel reporting for duty to Kingsville are required to check in at the Housing Service Center, located on the first floor of the Administration Building on base, to determine housing needs. The Housing Referral Of-fice will assist you in locating suitable, affordable temporary housing in the community, or, possibly, permanent housing for your full tour at Kingsville.
The Housing Service Center (HSC) is your contact for any problems you may encounter such as discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions or problems about off-base. The HSC will provide you a list of rentals with corresponding locator maps and give you information regarding the communities in which the rentals are located. All renters should carry renters insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner's insurance will cover the property but not the renters personal property.

Family Housing
Privatization -- NAS Kingsville does not have government family housing available. However, we do have two Public-Private Ventures (PPV), "Hawks Landing" and "Hunter's Cove". Both military and civilians live in these complexes.
Hawks Landing offers 2 and 3 bedroom units and Hunter's Cove offers 3 and 4 bedroom units. Both complexes are located about 5-10 minutes from the base and are located close to shopping and schools. Pets are allowed in the PPV Housing units. The Kingsville Police Department has jurisdiction over the private-public ventures.
Eligibility -- All enlisted and officer personnel with accompanying family members are eligible for housing. Assignment to a housing unit is based on family size and availability of housing units.
Availability -- Because of the demand for quarters, generally personnel must be placed on a waiting list for a varying amount of time. It is the policy of the Station to fully utilize the PPV’s located in Kingsville. While you are awaiting assignment to PPV housing, our Housing Service Center will assist you in locating suitable, affordable, temporary housing in the community, or, possibly, locating housing for your full tour at Kingsville. Your orders will instruct you to come by and check in at the Housing Service Center, located on base in the Command Building. There are times when immediate assignment into housing is possible, so be sure to check through the office before you make any arrangements for off-base housing. The wait times vary depending on your requirements. It could be as little as a few days up to more than 1-2 months.
Application -- To be placed on the waiting list prior to your arrival at NAS Kingsville, you must fill out a DD Form 1746, Application for Assignment to Housing. Forward this form to the Kingsville housing office along with a copy of your official, signed orders (with detachment endorsement), and 1 copy of your page 2 ( with a "verified by" signature) or RED Page, Record of Emergency Data (Marines/Army), DD Form 1172 (U.S. Air Force) or a DD Form 93 (U.S. Army).
The two PPV housing developments, Hawks Landing / Hunters Cove, allow two pets (any size - no exotic - no vicious breeds). Both complexes require a pet deposit.
Incoming service members may also call the HSC at 361-516-6498 or 361-516-6448 and the staff will forward an electronic welcome packet going over the PPV requirements and some basic information regarding Kingsville. Please take advantage of advance applications for PPV properties.
