FORT STEWART

 

Your Name (if you would like it to appear): Amy Clayton
 
Base Name: Ft. Stewart
 
Base Location: Hinesville, GA
 
How long have you been here? 2005-2007
 
What is housing like? On-post? Off-post? The new housing on post is absolutely beautiful. We lived off post in Eagles Landing!  It was perfect for our family. We paid $800.00 for our rent - 3 bedroom 2 bath 10 year old ranch. Our neighbors bought their houses for right around $90,000 in 2007. 
 
Rate the PX & Commissary. Liked the PX.  Really didn't use the commissary it was too busy.
 
Activities on base? Bowling, Movies, Golf, Plenty of celebration opportunities!! 
 
Active Spouses Club? Did not participate
 
Things to do in area? There are ALOT of things to do in the area you just have to look,  We liked J.F. Gregory Park in Richmond Hill, Henry Ford Plantation in Richmond Hill, the civil war forts Ft. Pulaski, Ft. McAllister..there are a couple more just can't remember the names!!  Tybee Island, Oatland Island (known as Savannah Zoo) and of course in Savannah there are tons of things there...the museum, Savannah Ogeechee Canal and nature center I could go on and on!!  Like I said you just have to research things to do. 
 
School System? My children went to school off post-Liberty county schools.  It was fine for my second son.  My older son is Autistic and in my opinion don't provide enough services for Special Education.
 
Any colleges in area? Savannah Tech has a campus in Hinesville
 
Jobs? I did not work so I can't comment on this.
 
Favorite aspect of this base/surrounding city?  I loved Ft. Stewart I thought it was beautiful.  I liked Savannah and Richmond Hill.  Hinesville was okay, you just have to drive a little ways to do things.
 
Least favorite aspect? Like I said before - traveling to do things.
 
 
Any other tips? Don't look at this area as "there is nothing to do".  Just take the time to look.
