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 />
