  Tavia V. asked:

  My family is moving to Fort Drum Army base New York next week. I would like to know: 1) We're eligible for 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment. My husband is E4 with 2 dependents, but we have a sister (not dependent) living with us too. I figure 4 people in 2 bedroom 1 bath is tight. Any cheap recommendations off-post? 2) I hear horror stories about Barksdale housing ripping you off, is NY one the same? 3) Should I stay on-base or off-base? 4) Roughly how much was your heating bill off-base? (I hear it's $300-$500/month!) 5) Is there a way to add additional heat indoor to save money without bringing actual fire indoor? 6) What kind of car is good for the snow? 4-wheel or all-wheel drive? 7) Would you recommend daycare on base? 8) How far away is the base to the nearest grocery store (aside commissary) Thank you for reading & answering questions :)
