Review of Lawton, Oklahoma


Safe and Freindly
Star Rating - 7/27/2016
I’ve lived here since I was stationed at fort sill in 2001. My wife and I moved back to our hometown in Ohio in 2007 but within a year WE CAME BACK. The people here are friendly and it is a safe place to live. There are dozens of festivals in the spring and fall and you can go outside without a jacket in December. The police department is filled with retired Army veterans so there is a little more patience, wisdom and cultural diversity compared to other cities of this size. The major disadvantage here is the terrible weather. It is so very hot and dry. I’ve read about dozens of cities on this site and almost all of them complain about the “drugs and crime” I think that is with nearly any city so I don’t take those comments too seriously. Here in Lawton the crime for the average middle class is very rare.
