Review of Kille,


Enjoying Killeen So Far
Star Rating - 2/10/2017
To be honest, I was in shock especially at the traffic and driving when I first arrived.

But, in time I met some friendly, great people - and to me, as a single lady, that makes up 85% of my satisfaction with an area.

Killeen is busy at times. I find navigation difficult. But I have caught on a lot in just a couple of weeks.

I am looking for work and have had a couple of interviews. However, even that is pretty good and the managers I interviewed with were impressive. I was mostly happy with my interviews.

I think I could be happy in the area with 2 provisions: That I find good work (and I'm working on it), and I find some country areas to hike in when I just need a break from the rat race.

Otherwise I so far cannot say enough for Texas as a State - it is the happiest State -and yes, friendliest State I've so far been in.

My disclaimer is that I have only been here 2 weeks so far.

The other thing is that some places have been short and rude with me - but its the exception so far.

I also have not found a place of worship yet, but that's because I'm older, single and without children which makes a welcoming church a rarity - so that's a problem personal to me (and another story altogether).

I have not explored surrounding cities but I'd like to.

I may post another review later after I've been here longer.

I've been trying to find a place where I can call home. So if I end up being a fan and permanent resident, that will be a huge compliment to the city!

One last thing, its quite diverse here, but I enjoy and probably need that too.

Thank you for taking the time to post. We live in California and are moving soon to the Killeen/Temple area. Your comments were very helpful. I hope you have found work and a church!

Hi, We are planning on Moving to the Killeen, Copperas Cove area, How have you found Killeen now that you've been there a while? I looked at the crime map and it seems pretty intense. Can you help us to know maybe which areas to avoid moving to? We want to retire out this way.. Ty
