Travis is a mobility hub, which means constant inbound and outbound moves and a housing market that has adapted to them. Fairfield, Suisun City and Vacaville are where most Travis airmen land, and prices there are a fraction of what the same house costs across the Carquinez Bridge. For a Bay Area-adjacent market, this is as close to reasonable as California gets.
The Solano County trade is straightforward: you accept a commute if you work toward the Bay, and in exchange you buy a house you can actually afford on BAH. Many Travis families also hold the house after PCS and rent it — Solano rental demand is durable precisely because the base keeps replenishing tenants.

Fairfield VA loan questions
Is Travis BAH enough to buy in Fairfield?
In most cases yes, especially with zero down and no monthly mortgage insurance. Fairfield is one of the few California markets where the BAH-to-payment math still works comfortably.
Can I keep the house and rent it after I PCS?
Yes, and many Travis families do. Solano rental demand is steady because the base continuously supplies renters. Plan the entitlement piece at the first closing so the next purchase is not a surprise.
Does California’s disabled veteran exemption apply here?
It applies statewide, filed through the Solano County Assessor. If you are rated 100% or compensated at the 100% rate it reduces your assessed value meaningfully — check the current-year amount, it is inflation-adjusted.
