I am projected for Fort Hood upon commissioning as a 2LT (70B AOC). Prior enlisted but was never stationed at Hood. I’m trying to find a safe and good neighborhood for my family in the vicinity. Doesn’t have to be close to the base. Any recommendations will be appreciated.
I’ve read earlier threads on this but wanted to get some more insights.
Thank you all.

You essentially have Killeen and Copperas Cove. I believe Killeen is right outside the gate and Copperas Cove a few minutes drive to the gate. I left Ft Hood in 2002, and the majority of the folks felt Copperas Cove was better, in a large part due to safety.

Harker Heights has some nice neighborhoods, at least when I retired almost 3 years ago!

Closer down by the airport there is up and coming houses. Plenty for rent and sale, and the neighborhood is very nice.

And if you have small children there is an elementary school in the area of homes [subdivision] right outside of Mohawk gate
