Ameri-Star Homes is Ready to Help With Your BRAC-Related Move
We support and welcome our troops and and other defense contractors and their families who are relocating to Anne Arundel County.
BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) is a Department of Defense process for reorganizing our nation’s military bases to more effectively support our forces in the future. Started in 2005, the BRAC process must be complete by 2011. As military personnel, their families, and civilian contractors relocate to the area, Anne Arundel County is expected to experience enormous growth—potentially up to 14,000 new jobs over the next six years.
The majority of this growth will be focused around Fort Meade. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) will bring over 4,000 jobs to the area. Other defense organizations bringing jobs to the area are Defense/Military Adjudication Activities and Defense Media Activity (DMA).
All of this growth means the demand for housing convenient to Fort Meade will become intense. Ameri-Star Homes is ready to help you find the ideal home in the best location for you and your family. We recognize that a relocation can be disruptive to your life, so we have a wide variety of beautiful, quality-built homes in locations throughout Anne Arundel County.
Contact us today and we’ll be happy to help you find a new home—and we wish you the very best in your relocation. We’re confident you’ll love living near Fort Meade—and in an Ameri-Star home!
Did You Know?
- VA home loans require a minimum time in service before the VA loan applicant may apply. The rules can seem a bit daunting, as there is basic criteria for VA loan eligibility and more specific rules depending on the date, nature, and length of military service. As a general rule, the Department of Veterans Affairs official site states, "A veteran is eligible for VA home loan benefits if he or she served on active duty in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable". The general rules for VA loan eligibility state the member must have served "90 days or more, any part of which occurred during wartime OR 181 continuous days or more (peacetime)."
- The Department of Veterans Affairs offers a special grant to qualifying disabled veterans that can be used for specially adapted housing. There are actually two such grants—the 2101 (a) and the 2101 (b). These grants can be used to help purchase or modify homes to make them accessible for vets with disabilities. Both have similar qualifying requirements, but have different purposes and grant amount limits.

Anne Arundel County is known as the "land of pleasant living." Nearly 500,000 residents call Anne Arundel County home. Our superior quality of life on the Chesapeake Bay, our rich heritage, and proximity to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. make the County a great place to live, work and raise a family.
With more than 534 miles of coastline, the County is naturally known for boating and water sports, fishing, crabbing, water skiing, sailing and swimming. But that’s just the beginning. For nature lovers, there are 2 state parks, over 70 county parks, and several nature preserves. We also have numerous greenways, including the 13-mile Baltimore and Annapolis Trail where walkers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians pass sunny mornings and afternoons. Birdwatchers can spot everything from geese to swans to heron, egrets and eagles. And there’s a wide variety of recreational programs for all ages; from dance to gymnastics to fine arts to fitness and fun camps, not to mention wilderness challenge camps for youth and teens. With Ravens football and Orioles baseball home games a short drive away, you can be sure to be part of the action when these championship teams compete. And on the first Sunday in May you can participate in the annual Bay Bridge Walk, where thousands of residents participate in a 4-mile hike across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Anne Arundel County has one of the strongest economies in the State, ranked as one of the top counties in Maryland job growth. It’s no wonder that Anne Arundel County is such a desirable place to live
