Living Quarters<br />

The first stop in finding a place to live for anyone<br />

moving to <strong>Little</strong> Rock AFB is the military Housing<br />

Referral Office at 538 Thomas Ave. (two blocks away<br />

from the Fitness Center). The Housing Referral Office<br />

also operates out of The Welcome Center at 101<br />

Arkansas Blvd. (in the base housing area). In addition to<br />

helping you find a home, the Housing Referral Office has<br />

a number of handouts for newcomers that include<br />

phonebooks, maps, utility company information and<br />

public school information.<br />

Housing options in and around <strong>Little</strong> Rock AFB are<br />

many, varied and for the most part, very affordable.<br />

There is plenty of family housing on base. The off-base<br />

rental market ranges from small apartments to very<br />

large multistory homes, and there are normally plenty of<br />

new and pre-owned homes for sale.<br />

Because you will likely be here for a few years, consider<br />

all possible options and choose carefully the one<br />

that is best for you. The Air Force has moved you to<br />

<strong>Little</strong> Rock AFB and will move you to your next duty station<br />

when you leave here, but it won’t pay to move you<br />

from neighborhood to neighborhood in the local area<br />

while you are here. The one exception to this rule is if<br />

you are placed on a waiting list for on-base housing,<br />

which requires you to rent a place in the local community<br />

prior to moving on base.<br />

Dormitories<br />

Single Airmen in pay grades E-1 through E-4 with less<br />

than three years of service are required to report to the<br />

Consolidated Dorms Management Office in Building 723<br />

upon arrival. As dorm space is at a premium, your rank<br />

and date of rank determine whether you will be assigned<br />

a room in your squadron’s dorm, or sent to the military<br />

housing referral office to investigate the possibility of<br />

living in on-base family housing in an unaccompanied<br />

status or finding a place to live off base. As a general<br />

rule, any E-1 through E-4 with less than three years of<br />

service will be assigned a dorm room.<br />

The dorms are centrally located on base and within<br />

easy walking distance of the BX, commissary, chapel<br />

and other recreational facilities.<br />

With one exception, all of the dorms are essentially<br />

the same. They are equipped with a private room with a<br />

shared bath. Furniture in the room will include a full-size<br />

(double) bed, a dresser, an armoire suitable for holding<br />

a television, and a chair. Residents can also request a<br />

desk and a recliner. Telephone and cable television service<br />

are available in the rooms should a resident elect to<br />

subscribe and pay for either service.<br />

One dorm, Bldg. 846, is designed with pods of six<br />

rooms, each with a private bath, sharing a common<br />

kitchen and living room area. Each dorm has a dayroom<br />

with pool tables, a sofa, a large-screen television and a<br />

DVD player, among other amenities. Each dormitory<br />

floor has a shared kitchen space with appliances and<br />

utensils. Washers and driers are also available.<br />

The dining facility serving all the dorms is the<br />

Hercules Dining Facility, located a couple of minutes’<br />

walking distance from them all.<br />

The dining facility operates on the following schedule:<br />

Monday through Friday:<br />

Breakfast: 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.<br />

Saturday – Sunday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.<br />

Midnight Meal: Monday through Friday: 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.<br />

Saturday – Sunday 11 p.m. to midnight<br />

Dorm residents who advance in rank and/or time in<br />

service may be authorized and/or asked to move out of<br />

the dorm into family housing or the local community to<br />

make way for more junior Airmen being assigned to <strong>Little</strong><br />

Rock AFB. Determining who gets to move out of the<br />

dorms is done exclusively by rank and time in service.<br />
