Moving from one
installation to another
is often accompanied
by stress. Fortunately,
Fort Bragg’s incoming
Families will now find a
Family-friendly environment from the moment
they step into Picerne
Military Housing’s new
leasing center for onpost Family housing.
Picerne’s leasing center
has relocated to 426
Souter Place, near prominent landmarks like the
North Post Commissary and Post Exchange.
The leasing center, now
a stand-alone building
located in the former
Randolph Pointe model
home, officially opened
in its new location in
May to future residents
of on-post Family housing.
“We want our Families to feel welcome and
love everything about
living on post from the
moment they walk in
the door,” said Scarlett
Tyner, Picerne’s communications manager.
“This new leasing center
location is part of that
commitment.”
Each Family’s Picerne
experience will truly begin as soon as they enter
the building. Each future
resident will be greeted
by a relocation specialist
upon entering the center.
Picerne’s signature cookies will be waiting for
everyone upon arrival,
as well as materials that
detail Family housing
floor plans, wait times
and pictures.
The leasing center’s
lobby has comfortable
chairs, a flat-screen
television and artwork
featuring Fort Bragg
homes and events. North
Carolina photos taken
by local artists are also
displayed throughout the

The new leasing center
has a dedicated future
resident parking lot, is
more spacious and is
easily accessible from the
Randolph and Butner
gates. The center includes a conference room
and restrooms that are
fully compliant with
Americans with Disabilities Act.
The building is designed with military
Families in mind. For
instance, the interior
offices overlook adjacent
play rooms with specially
designed windows. “We
put a lot of thought into
the building layout to
help make the moving
experience less stressful,” said Kisha Patton,
Picerne’s Leasing Center
manager. “The interior
windows, for instance,
allow parents to focus
on finding the perfect
new home, while their
children happily play
nearby.”
Staff Sgt. LaShanda
Jones of the U.S. Army
Forces Command recently visited the leasing
center at its new location to apply for on-post
housing.
“I really like it. It’s so
up-close and personal,”
said Jones who added
that she is so impressed
with the new leasing
center that she is looking
forward to spreading the
word to her FORSCOM
colleagues. “I’ll be sure
to tell them,” she added.
The leasing center was
formerly located in the
Soldier Support Center, which is closed on
Saturdays. As a result,
Picerne’s Leasing Center
operated at a different
location on Saturdays
prior to its move to the
new building.
“This is a great improvement for our military Families,” Patton
said.
“Incoming Families can
now find us at one location Monday through
Saturday.”
The leasing center’s
hours are Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to
5 p.m., and Saturdays 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.
