Living in Harker Heights, TX

Harker Heights sits along I-14/US 190 just east of Killeen in Bell County, with Fort Hood a short drive away. It has newer neighborhoods, a quieter residential feel than Killeen, and some of the most popular shopping in the area. Many military families and medical professionals choose it as their home base.

Getting around

I-14/US 190 runs right through town, so Killeen is minutes away and Fort Hood is usually a 10 to 15 minute drive, depending on your gate. Temple and Belton are about 20 minutes east, and Austin is a little over an hour south. Killeen Regional Airport is a short drive west.

Things to do

  • Market Heights, a big retail center along I-14 with shopping and restaurants
  • Stillhouse Hollow Lake, just south of town, for boating, fishing and swimming
  • City parks and trails, plus community events through the year
  • Easy trips to Belton Lake, downtown Belton and Temple

Schools

Harker Heights is served by Killeen ISD, and many neighborhoods feed into Harker Heights High School, which is a big draw for families. Campus assignments can vary by subdivision, so I always confirm the schools for a specific address.

Homes and neighborhoods

You'll find established neighborhoods from the '80s and '90s, newer subdivisions toward the south side and Stillhouse Hollow Lake, and some larger homes with Hill Country views. Homes typically run a bit higher than in Killeen, with many in the $300,000s. Newer neighborhoods may have a MUD or PID, so I'll pull the full tax picture for any home you like. I can also help you compare VA, FHA and conventional financing and think through leasing the home when you PCS.
