Whether you are here on TDY, PCSing in and waiting for permanent housing, or preparing to leave Stuttgart, our serviced apartments give you more space than a hotel, with kitchens, laundry, parking, cleaning and support for the paperwork guests usually need.
A private apartment can make a TDY stay easier when you need a kitchen, work routine, parking and reliable services.
PCS arrivalArrive with a comfortable base while you view housing, compare neighborhoods or wait for your permanent setup.
PCS departureKeep a normal routine with space, cooking and laundry after your household goods have already been packed.
The everyday difference
A hotel can be fine for a short stop. TDY and PCS stays usually need more: somewhere to cook, work, do laundry, park, receive paperwork and unwind without feeling like every day is still in transit.
Our apartments are set up for that middle phase: furnished, serviced and ready to live in, but without the long-term rental commitment you would normally need for permanent housing in Stuttgart.
If you are here on TDY for more than a short hotel visit, the apartment setup starts to matter quickly.
TDY assignments around Stuttgart can range from short rotations to several months. A serviced apartment gives you a full kitchen, a separate living rhythm and a more private place to decompress after long workdays.
For many guests, the value is simple: you can keep groceries, cook when you want, do laundry, park your car and live in a normal apartment while still having services included.
Stuttgart-Moehringen is often the strongest location fit when your stay is mainly shaped by Kelley Barracks or Patch Barracks. Downtown Stuttgart can make sense when you want a more central city routine, public transport, restaurants and easy access to the main train station.
When you inquire, tell us your expected arrival date, expected stay length, preferred apartment location, parking needs and whether VAT forms apply, so we can suggest realistic apartment options.
PCSing into Stuttgart is easier when your temporary housing gives you room to settle before you choose a permanent home.
Arrival phase
The Stuttgart rental market can move quickly, and many newcomers need time to compare neighborhoods, view apartments, understand commute patterns and wait for the right permanent option. A serviced apartment gives you a stable, comfortable base during that search.
This is especially useful for families, guests arriving with pets, guests who need parking, and anyone trying to balance house hunting with in-processing, work, school planning and everyday life in a new country.
The PCS-out phase often creates a short but stressful housing gap.
Once household goods are packed, many families still need a place to stay before departure. A furnished apartment can work well for those final weeks because you still have a kitchen, laundry, living space and a more normal routine while you clear out and wait for travel dates.
If you know your HHG pickup date or likely departure window, contact us early. Shorter gaps can book quickly during busy PCS periods, especially when families need multiple bedrooms or specific parking.
The right apartment is not simply “best for TDY” or “best for PCS.” It depends on your preferred apartment location, family setup, car, parking needs and how you want daily life to feel.
Often a strong area for Kelley Barracks and Patch Barracks. A good fit when your stay is base-focused and you want an easier drive south of the city center.

A few terms are useful to know. Your official office can confirm what applies to your stay.
Per diem is the allowance framework used for lodging, meals and incidental expenses on official travel. For apartment inquiries, the key question is whether the apartment rate, stay dates and invoice format fit your travel rules. Official reference: DTMO per diem.
Temporary Lodging Allowance is connected to OCONUS PCS situations when temporary lodging is needed after arrival or shortly before departure from a permanent duty station. If this applies to you, please confirm your current rules with the housing or finance office. Official reference: DTMO TLA.
Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance is a civilian overseas allowance that may apply when authorized employees occupy temporary quarters after arriving at, or before leaving, an overseas duty location. Official reference: DLA TQSA.
VAT forms may reduce the German VAT cost for eligible guests under the applicable SOFA/VAT rules. We accept VAT forms for eligible stays, so please mention this early if it applies to you. Stuttgart VAT forms are handled through the VAT office at Panzer Kaserne. Official reference: Stuttgart MWR VAT.
A CNA, or Certificate of Non-Availability, is sometimes needed when government lodging is not available. In Stuttgart, you may also see the term SNA, or Statement of Non-Availability. Please check if this applies to you if you haven’t done so yet. Official reference: USAG Stuttgart temporary housing information.
These examples show different location and size profiles. The right fit depends on your dates, preferred apartment location, guest count, parking needs, pets and what is actually available for your stay.
