What is PCS Scout?

A free house-hunting tool for Military Service Members and Families making a PCS move — built on official public data. No account, no ads, no tracking.

Enter your duty location to see your official BAH.
Set a monthly budget at, under, or over your allowance.
Tap the map to compare commutes — including rush hour — and see nearby schools. Add a spouse's workplace to find the area that's fair to both drives.
Choose Rent for pre-filtered rental listings, or Buy to estimate the home price your BAH could support with a $0-down VA loan — then jump to for-sale listings.

Not an official DoD resource — estimates for planning only; verify with your finance and housing offices. Data: DoD DTMO, NCES, U.S. Census TIGER (public domain) · © GeoNames (CC BY 4.0) · © OpenStreetMap/OpenFreeMap · © Esri · OSRM & © TomTom.
