Review of Killeen, Texas


mostly military
Star Rating - 10/30/2006
You will find most of the population is military or related to it somehow. It seems to be growing recently and become more independent of the base. There are lots of resturants nearby (chains like outback, TGIFridays, etc.) There is a nice movie theater, chuckie cheese, walmart, target and a small mall with the basics. There are small colleges that you can get a few degrees with and those seem to be expanding. I wouldn't say it is the safest place on earth. I lived there for 7yrs and I did run early in the moring or late at night but I did also have my house broken into twice. So get a dog or an alarm. As far as culture you will have to take a ride to Austin or san antonio. We went to austin all the time it is only an hour away and Austin has just about anything you could want. All and all not the worse place to live but I wouldn't retire there.
