Review of Lawton, Oklahoma


Winner in the substandard class
Star Rating - 6/14/2006
This place is for you if you like affordable housing, unbearable heat, filth, crime, noise, lousy restaurants, horrible customer service, being blown out of bed by artillery fire, junk cars on the road - bottom line - quality of life does not exist. The most amazing thing to me is that we are in the US but it feels like a 3rd world nation. Oklahoma does not require car inspections, I have seen cars driving on the road that no other self respecting state would allow in their junk yard. Environmental protection is not in the vocabulary. You will suffer hearing loss just by driving through the city due to the boom boxes in the cars. Bottom line - Lawton is a trashy military town.

In many places affordable housing means hood. One of the advantages of living in Lawton is that you don't have to sacrifice safety for affordability.
