Some homes in this area have wells and septic systems. I'll make sure they get inspected.

Schools
Comparing schools
Every family weighs schools differently. I'll point you to official school district boundaries and state report cards so you can compare for yourself, and I'll make sure the homes we look at are zoned where you want them.
Your base's School Liaison Officer is another great resource. They can help with enrollment, transfers, and special programs.
School assignments can change. Always confirm a home's assigned schools with the school district.
