We will be stationed here in at the end of April and I just wanna know where we should apply to live. We have a young baby so we will need at least 2 rooms but would prefer 3 for when family come down. We also have two large dogs so fenced in yard is a must. I would also like if I can be decently close to pools, gym, day care centers for the baby, and stores. I know it’s a lot to ask for but I just want what’s best for my family.

PV2 (Join to see) That is a tough one on your pay, as well as likely your activity level at work (early mornings, late nights, random tasking, training, deployments, ect).
Do you have a second vehicle for your spouse or will you share?
Are you opposed to a 30 min drive to get in to work?
Will you need day care for the Baby daily or just as needed for appointments and such?

As I choose and still live in Kempner since 2005 Im partial to that as a recommendation... Other than that Copperas Cove would be next, but there are dives and places I would not feel comfortable with leave my family alone at in cove as well.

As you find a potential locations, feel free to message me the address and Ill recon it for you. Cant make a decision for you, but might be able to help with backgound. I also have friends in all local policing agencies except Fort hood itself, those contacts have moved on. Killeen, Cove, Harker Heights, Kempner, Lampassas ...I have friends or working relationships in all. Get me an address and I can ask about negative activity recently in that area.

Yes me and my wife have separate vehicles, I would like a fairly short drive to work 15-20 mins, and we’re not too big on daycare centers but my wife is wanting to work part-time and take online classes as well so the day care will be just for when she needs it (not sure if her schedule yet).

There are daycares on post (CDCs) and likely some off post. It depends on where you live probably. I haven't been there yet - going to PCS later this year.
I heard Copperas Cove has a lot of crime...
