1SG
So on post has issues with leaks and all sorts of other fun all over. Mold has gotten to the point the housing contractors are bribing residents to keep their mouth shut. My wife has friends whom have dealt with this 1st hand.

Off post, Copperas Cove is close, quiet and pretty cheap. It’s a nice area. Killeen is a Military town, and Harker heights is nice but a bit more expensive.

I’ve been here for 2 years ish. Feel free to drop me a message with questions!

I know a lot of people who really like copperas cove and Harker heights. Belton/Temple is where I opted to live and I absolutely love it here. It’s about a 30 minute commute but it’s a great community and I think is just far enough to where it doesn’t feel like a military town. Plus, there’s a fantastic hospital in Temple that has been great for my family. Not to mention crime rates are much lower (crime still exists but it seems that closer to post=more crime). I wouldn’t touch on-post housing with a 10-foot pole personally. Between mold, gas leaks, faulty HVAC and long wait times for work orders, Fort Hood family housing is known to be exceedingly horrible. Good luck 1SG and welcome to the Great Place

Live off post but it’s more expensive but the newer development areas are best. So off clear creek and post side of cove and north most cove.
