Resident stories

Moving off post was the best decision I made. The Arsenal is close enough to Fort Drum that my commute is nothing, but I finally have my own space, my own kitchen, and my own life after hours.

Sgt. Marcus T.Active Duty, Fort Drum

As a travel nurse at Samaritan, I needed something furnished-friendly, close to the hospital, and easy to manage. The Arsenal checked every box. The management is responsive and the location is unbeatable.
