About Homes on Guam

You’ll notice the style of our homes on Guam is a little different than what you’re used to. Apartment buildings and single family homes are generally built with concrete to withstand the winds created during typhoon conditions.

You’ll probably also notice that in general, rooms are smaller than what you’re used to. You can easily find 3 bedroom homes under 1200 square feet. Particularly the older homes. Newer homes lately have been a little bigger.

You’ll see, unlike the Mainland U.S., we don’t have master planned communities here, and only recently did developers start building western style homes to appeal to the military families arriving on Guam.

The largest of these developments, Paradise Estates, is located in the Village of Dededo. As one of the most popular rental properties for military personnel, it offers 3 and 4 bedroom homes beginning at around $2400.00 per month. Most of the other new housing developments on Guam are much smaller by comparison and may consist of only a few homes.

If you prefer condo living, there are a number of great buildings on Guam. You’ll find many of the most popular buildings are situation on the beach in the Villages of Tumon and Tamuning.

Again, because of the military allowance scale, you’ll notice that the asking price for rent usually starts at $2000+ . Most of the buildings allow pets, at least small ones. A few feature underground or at least covered parking, full back up generators, and almost all have security.

Tumon Beachfront Residences opened it’s doors in early 2010 after a long period of renovation. As the newest of the high–end beachfront rentals, it’s become a popular place for military renters with 1bedroom units starting at $1900 per month.
