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, a fully equipped kitchen, reserved parking and laundry facilities, cleaning and support with the paperwork you need.
A private apartment makes a TDY stay easier. Enjoy your own parking space, kitchen, work space and reliable services.
PCS arrivalEnjoy a comfortable base while you explore housing, compare neighborhoods and wait for your permanent setup.
PCS departureKeep a normal routine with space to cook and do 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, handle paperwork and unwind without feeling like you are still in transit.
Our apartments are set up for that middle phase: furnished and serviced, 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 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 fully equipped kitchen, your own daily rhythm and a private place to decompress after long workdays.
For many guests, the value is simple: you can keep groceries on hand, cook when you want, do laundry, park your car and live in a normal apartment with services included.
Stuttgart-Moehringen is often the strongest location fit when your stay is mainly focused around Kelley Barracks or Patch Barracks. Downtown Stuttgart makes more sense if you want a central city routine, public transport, restaurants and easy access to the main train station.
When you inquire, tell us your expected arrival date and stay length, preferred apartment location, parking needs and whether VAT forms apply, so we can suggest suitable apartment options.
PCSing into Stuttgart is easier when your TLA lodging 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, those 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 works well for those final weeks because you still have a kitchen, a laundry setup, ample living space and a more normal routine while you wait to travel.
When your HHG pickup date or departure window is clearer, let us know your dates, preferred apartment size and parking needs. Short housing gaps can be hard to cover during busy PCS periods, especially for families, but we can often suggest options that make the final stretch before leaving Stuttgart easier.
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 the preferred area for those working at Kelley Barracks and Patch Barracks. A good fit if your stay is base-focused and you want the shortest daily drive to the base.

Per diem is the daily allowance 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 orders. Official reference: DTMO per diem.
Temporary Lodging Allowance helps cover temporary lodging on an OCONUS PCS, after you arrive at or shortly before you leave a permanent duty station. If this applies to you, please confirm the current rules with your housing or finance office. Official reference: DTMO TLA.
Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance is the civilian equivalent: an 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 let eligible guests avoid German VAT (19 % or 7 %) under the U.S. Forces Tax Relief Program. We accept VAT forms for eligible stays, so please mention this early if it applies to you.
