Does anyone know why this part of housing is nearly empty? We lived in Trace Covenant in the same area when we first moved to Va and I noticed the Garrison Way Area hardly had any tenants. Anyone know why?
Just a guess. BAH rates for the area with dependents $1116 for E-1 to $2103.00 for E-9. I have noticed this in many areas. Many military families can now really afford to buy a home.

yeah, we were only in the neighboring trace covenant for 3 months before we bought a house. I just thought it was weird that even the housing apartments there are full, but these little townhouses with a little yard and more space were virtually empty. thought maybe there was a mold problem or something.
Garrison Way is empty due to black mold. The housing moved military in knowing of this and when residents started complaining they found them new homes. I know this cause I had friends living there.
I just took a peek inside one of those homes in Garrison Way last month. It's bad, really bad. Walls, floors, windows, molding....all rusting, rotting, collapsing--black mold on the walls is just part of the problem. Those houses were there in the early 1960s. In fact, I recall living in one of those houses when Neil first walked on the moon. I remember the Naval Weaps Station there being a bustling center of activity. It's mostly a big forested base now. The WW2 buildings are all but gone from NWS Yorktown. My dad was stationed there. This area was my favorite assignment that dad ever had. It breaks my heart to see that area sitting as a ghost town now. It'll be even sadder when the wreckers come in and flatten that whole housing complex. A big part of my life will vanish, like it never happened. If anyone else lived in that area during the late 60s, please reply and contact me. I'd sure like to trade stories about the last years of my and America's innocence. Cheers!
Update. Garrison Way continues to stand as a ghost town. The funds to demolish it and/or rebuild are not in the DoD budget as of 9-30-21. Furthermore, you will not see anything in local papers about the issue. It's kind of like a Chernobyl situation that nobody talks or writes about online.
Yeah. Demo money is scarce. We got lucky at China Lake and had a couple of back-to-back earthquakes!
