For many service members, the decision to buy often comes down to how a monthly mortgage payment compares to their Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH).
In many cases, the estimated monthly mortgage on a base-priced home in Pembroke is comparable to the BAH received by eligible buyers stationed near Fort Bragg. For military families, that means their housing allowance may cover all or a significant portion of their monthly payment, depending on financing and other costs.
"Most of the conversations we have with military buyers start with the monthly number," said Patty Sloan, at McKee Homes. "They're looking at their BAH and trying to figure out what actually fits without feeling tight every month. It's a little different than a typical buyer, because they're also thinking about timelines, orders, and what happens if they move again in a few years."

Location can also affect future plans. Homes near Fort Bragg tend to remain active in both resale and rental markets, which can be relevant for buyers who receive new orders after a few years.
"A lot of buyers are thinking ahead a bit," Sloan said. "If their orders change and they end up moving later, can they rent it? Does the location still work? Does it hold up as an investment? That's part of the decision for them. And it's part of why we picked this location for Pembroke. We believe it offers a lot of options."
Homes are currently available in Pembroke, starting in the $300s, including for buyers working within specific timelines.
