Learn More About Hunter Army Airfield
This is a tiny installation with limited on-base housing. There is a medical clinic on post, notably missing an emergency room, so many families utilize civilian healthcare services. The gym on post, Tominac Fitness Center, is top-notch and replete with an indoor swimming pool. Did you expect any less with the Rangers and the 160th SOAR occupying the base? The commissary and PX are tiny but adequate.

If you are looking for a true downtown with off the charts walkability, lots of culture, and an artsy vibe then Savannah is for you. If you’re looking for your typical “city-living” with all the major box stores at your fingertips, then Pooler or Richmond Hill may be more your style. Feeling a beachy vibe? Live on one of The Islands – Tybee, Whitemarsh or Wilmington. If rural, country living suits your fancy; you head out to Effingham County. Military families stationed at Hunter AAF seem to be spread out, choosing their location based on commute, schools and area vibe.
