In a Private Message, I sent you a list of Fort Drum region Single Family Rental Homes as well as other information about the Fort Drum area.

Feel free to contact me if you have other questions that I can answer. Good luck to you.

Are you looking to buy or rent? Have you checked with resources affiliated with Fort Drum?

This could help: RealtyUSA - Property - Property-List

If you have children, pretty much all of the school districts are at least decent, but I'd suggest Sackets Harbor, General Brown and 1000 Islands. If you are use to a more diverse SD, Carthage, Indian River and Watertown City would fit. There is also The Immaculate Heart Central Schools in Watertown and a couple of Christian schools for private options. South Jefferson, Bellevulle-Henderson, Lyme, LaFargeville and Alexandria Central round out the Jefferson County SD's. There is/was military housing in Copenhagen, Lowville, Gouverneur, as well as select locations in those Jefferson County SD's.

Here's some more information: Home - Fort Drum Mountain Communities

Housing

I forgot to mention that Carthage has the K-8 Augustinian Academy and Gouverneur has St. James, which is a K-6 Catholic school. Gouverneur is in St. Lawrence County and had military housing at one time, but the contract expired. There may be some availability there, if you can't find anything closer though. Lowville and Copenhagen in Lewis County had or has military housing as well and in the case of Lowville, there may be military families that live in the former military housing or other private housing there as well. Places like Clayton, Antwerp, Philadelphia, Calcium, Evans Mills, Watertown, Carthage and West Carthage have or had military housing as well.

I am looking to rent. I need 1bdr, off post. Information I found from resources affiliated to Fort Drum are not suited to my needs. I'll be moving to Fort Drum next week.

You can start with these apartments: Beaver Meadow Apartments - Watertown, New York

They are pretty new, as they were built within the past several years. They are by Salmon Run Mall.

These are located between Fort Drum and Watertown off of Route 3: Colonial Manor | Dawn Homes Realty Investor

You have some that are listed here that may work or are worth looking into: Apartment Listings - Landsman Real Estate Services | Landsman Development Corporation

These apartments are located in Evans Mills, near the North Gate off of Route 11: 1 Bedroom Apartment | Pleasant Creek Apartments

These are located in Sackets Harbor: Fort Pike Commons Apartments: Welcome

Even though many are 2 bedrooms and up, you may find a few more places with a 1 bedroom apartment from this list: Housing

Maria, craigslist is a great place to start....craigslist: watertown classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events
Also try local realtors, some manage properties.
Life at Fort Drum, it depends on who you talk to really. Opinions will vary. I have grown to really love the area, took some getting used to. One thing I can say for certain is get ready for winter, you better love snow because you will get it in spades.
