PCS Orders Are Stressful Enough. Figuring Out Where to Live Shouldn’t Be.
From commute times and neighborhoods to home prices and local insight, you’ll find everything you need to make a smart move near Fort Benning.
Glad you’re here.
I’m Alexandria, a Georgia and Alabama Realtor, military spouse, and mom of two girls.
My husband serves in the 75th Ranger Regiment, so military moves are a regular part of our family’s life. Over the years, I’ve learned that most people relocating to Fort Benning aren’t just looking for a house—they’re trying to figure out where they’ll actually feel at home.
That’s why I created Fort Benning Home Guide: a place to find honest local insight on neighborhoods, commute times, home prices, and life around Fort Benning before the moving truck shows up.
What others are saying about me.
Alexandria demonstrated impressive problem-solving skills and dedication, particularly when dealing with showings. The home sold quickly and smoothly, thanks to Alexandria’s expertise, professionalism, and support.

During the entire process, Alex answered questions quickly and professionally. She would prompt us to think of things we hadn’t considered. I would absolutely work with Alex again!
— Brittany O.
She was extremely thorough in every video walkthrough, paid attention to details we wouldn’t have been able to catch ourselves, and always made sure we felt confident in every step of the process.
— Joci S.
We called Alexandria Bowman it was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! She turned our anxiety into a great sigh of relief. She made everything so easy.
