30 minutes puts you in other cities and counties around FORT BRAGG. Please let me know your price range and the quality of apartment you are looking for. Everything CLOSE to post (within 10 minutes) is pretty shabby as majority of those were built pre-1990 and look the part. There are a few areas on Reilly rd and Yadkin rd (2 busy gates that go directly to PSYOPS area, Reilly rd goes right passed the newest commissary complex) have some new construction due to the tornado system that came through a couple years ago. Please share more specifics and I can give you some specifics.
Single Family Homes are much more popular to rent and much easier to customize your location. I always recommend them because I don't like living amongst people (neighbors above, below and side by side). I also have a car that I like to keep in the garage, 80% of apartments don't even have covered parking and it rains a lot in NC not to mention Pine tree Pollen season.
The prices of homes are just as comparable as the apartments with the major perks of having privacy and more comforts of your 'own home'.
I recommend an extremely comprehensive and personable real estate agent who has several properties available for rent -
