When I lived at Fort Meade post housing about 15 years ago, we had an officer duplex and it wasn't too bad. At least the housing wasn't nearly as bad as I had predicted it'd be. It certainly wasn't as bad as some that I'd seen. I'd seen the enlisted quarters and those were fairly rough...kinda like the projects.
But officer housing has it's few and far between charms. One in particular was the parquet flooring. Y'know it could've been worse. Carpeted floors are the worst of all kinds and so I was grateful that we didn't have that. And then, the windows weren't bad--at least there was a lot of natural light. The greenery of the backyard was framed by a dense thicket of forest, which was pretty cool particularly when there were bunnies gracing the grass.
One day a contractor knocked on my front door and informed me that there might be lead toxicity in the blinds on my windows- they were the aluminum kind. Apparently some children had sucked on the bedroom mini blinds and became ill. So they had to come in and replace them. There were a lot of things like that.
