The 2013 BAH rates have been released. Troops and their families stationed at Fort Meade get to look forward to an increase in their monthly housing allowance come January 2013.
Below is a break down of the 2013 BAH rates for the duty zip-code 20755
(Fort Meade, MD):
For comparison, the average rent for a 3 bedroom home in communities popular with military families stationed at Fort Meade was $1,913/month for Odenton and Gambrills in Anne Arundel County and $2,252/month for Columbia, Ellicott City and Elkridge in Howard County, MD during 2012.
With continuously low interest rates some will find that a mortgage payment is more affordable than paying rent. It is not the right choice for everyone, however, and depends on many variables, length of orders, future plans, family etc.
