Does this place actually exist?

Is there such a place as Komandorski Village? The USGS name link gives a lat/long in the housing section of Camp Parks, which makes me believe that either it's the name of the housing area of the base, or that it ceased to exist when the Navy created Camp Parks in 1943. Anyone know anything more? Argyriou (talk) 18:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes it existed, I lived their in 1953, Komandorski was a military housing area just West of the Parks AFB maingate, it was for all military dependents not just AF, I was a Navy dependent 13 yrs old, I had a free run on that base just across the street from our unit, the units were up and down with 8 as i remember per building, I have many pix of this complex if you want a copy. IT DID EXIST AND IT WAS A OLD JAP POW CAMP DURING WW2, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 500+ DEPENDENTS THEIR IN 53/54. I RODE A BUS TO PLEASANTON TO AMADOR VALLEY JR HIGH.

I too lived there in 52-54. I went to Kindergarten in a building within the Komandorski Village complex that housed a little store and a Kindergarten school. I think it was also the property management office as well. My brothers and I also had free run of the Parks Air Force Base, which had a main entrance right across the street from the village. I also attended 1st and 2nd grade in the elementary school on the actual Parks Air Force Base property. We lived in the two story units. There was also an area of single story units as well. My father was in the NAVY at the time. Michael Douglass — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.14.72.40 (talk) 20:36, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

I also lived here during the Vietnam war as my dad was deployed on the USS Midway. At the time I was there 1971-1973, the buildings were painted bright Orange and Green alternating every other building. I don't recall if the base was still open at the time. I was 10 at the time. Then we got housing available at Navy Installation Alameda.Fras2011 (talk) 14:47, 3 March 2017 (UTC) Fras Shey

Demolition of Komandorski

The article says demolition was required in 1984, this is not accurate. The demolition began as early as 1978 or so. Every time a building became vacant they would compress the tenants to other buildings so they can destroy the empty ones. Construction of new housing, Arroyo Vista, began in 1981 or so shortly after my family moved out of there. 1984 may have been the year of completion, but it seems it was earlier. 2600:8803:F527:F700:DCD4:5026:7E37:C6F4 (talk) 03:32, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
