Review of Killeen, Texas


a trashy town
Star Rating - 2/14/2012
We have had to live in killeen for about 4 years now and although there are some nice looking areas, the people here make it not so nice. In our first apartment, we had 3 break in attempts, one while we were home. We also liked to say that we enjoyed watching cops when we got bored...and then we went inside and turned on the tv after we got bored of that. But in all neighborhoods, there is always some hoodlum going through the trash, stealing your mail, breaking into cars, getting dv calls, or calls about drunk drivers. Anybody who says they never see this in killeen can afford to pay extra in rent per month to live in what I'd consider decent housing. The rest of Killeen is just projects. If you dont have to move here, dont.

I agree 100%... I would comparing Killeen to the Compton/Crenshaw area, with some area of Killeen having nicer homes... personally, I would prefer to be in Compton area, better weather there... Killeen is a total dump.
