Nswc Carderock Division

What Nswc Carderock Division does

NSWC Carderock Division is a dedicated housing and relocation information portal (NSWCCarderockHousing.com) serving active-duty military personnel and their families assigned to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in Maryland. The site aggregates off-base housing options (rentals and homes for sale), connects users to local service providers (real estate agents, mortgage lenders, home inspectors, rental agencies), and provides relocation resources such as BAH rate information, gate locations, schools, and base directory entries. The site explicitly notes that on-base housing is unavailable at NSWC Carderock, positioning the portal as the primary off-base housing resource for incoming personnel.

The portal is operated by Post Housing Corporation (DBA "Post Housing Inc."), a private company founded in 2014 and incorporated in Washington State, headquartered in Olympia. Post Housing Corporation operates a network of base-specific housing websites under the PostHousing.com umbrella, of which NSWCCarderockHousing.com is one instance. The underlying technology is a standard web-based content portal with categorized listings, search functionality, and interactive maps; no mobile app, API, or SDK is offered.

The business model is two-sided and asset-light. On the user side, military personnel access the site free of charge. On the revenue side, the company collects (1) recurring annual subscription fees of $449 per business listing (advertising subscription, less than $40/month equivalent) with rotation across base pages and dedicated listing detail pages, and (2) per-listing fees of $15 per home posted for rent or sale, with 90-day listing terms renewable in 30-day increments. Distribution is self-serve via the web portal; no sales force or physical retail is employed.

Core offering

NSWC Carderock Division Housing Portal is a web-based relocation information and listing platform serving military personnel assigned to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division in Maryland. Because no on-base housing is available, the platform provides off-base housing search (rentals and homes for sale), a paid business directory/advertising service for local businesses (real estate agents, mortgage lenders, home inspectors, etc.), and a home listing service where individuals post their own properties for rent or sale.

Product overview

NSWC Carderock Division operates a housing and relocation information portal (NSWC Carderock Housing Portal) that connects military personnel with off-base housing resources. The platform functions as a search engine and listing service for rentals and homes for sale, supplemented by a business directory for local service providers (real estate agents, mortgage lenders, home inspectors) and a home posting service for individuals listing properties. On-base housing is not available at NSWC Carderock, so the portal serves as the primary resource for personnel seeking off-base accommodations in the Maryland area.

Broad incumbents

• Apartments.com: Large rental-listing marketplace covering most U.S. markets including areas around military bases. It competes for the rental-side audience the niche portal funnels to advertisers.
• Trulia: Major consumer real estate marketplace that captures off-base housing search intent around military bases. It is a broad incumbent rather than a niche military specialist, but its free listings directly substitute for this portal's value to landlords.
• Zillow: Dominant consumer real estate platform with national listings, BAH-aware search, and Premier Agent advertising. Competes for the same off-base housing audience and the real estate agent ad spend that underwrites the niche portal.
• Military.com Housing: Large general military media and resource site with housing, BAH, and relocation content. Competes for the same PCS-intent audience and advertiser budgets, but as part of a much broader military lifestyle portal.
• Realtor.com: National MLS-powered real estate search portal competing for relocation search traffic near military installations and for the agent advertising dollars the niche portal depends on.

Direct peers

• MilitaryByOwner: Online marketplace where service members list homes for sale or rent to other military personnel. Comparable in audience (PCS-moving service members), listing model (FSBO and agent-assisted), and advertiser monetization via real estate agents and lenders.
• AHRN.com (Automated Housing Referral Network): Military-focused housing referral platform connecting service members to off-base rental listings near installations. Direct competitor for off-base housing search traffic and the advertisers that follow that intent.
• PostHousing.com (parent network): The parent network operating this and other base-specific housing portals. It is the closest direct peer because it uses the same template, advertiser base, and self-serve listing infrastructure for military installations nationwide.

Others

• Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) / Military OneSource Relocation Services: Official DoD-provided relocation and housing assistance resources. Not a direct commercial competitor, but an authoritative free alternative that shapes how service members choose where to look for off-base housing info and which platforms they trust.

Emerging players

• Military Housing Guide (MilHousing): Smaller military-focused housing resource and listing directories. Comparable audience and listing format, but typically lower scale and reach than PostHousing.com's per-base network.
