Killeen, Texas is right in the shadow of the Fort Hood. The military has shaped both the economy and the town at large. The base and military contractors employ the lion’s share of the town’s residents. The city is also more ethnically diverse than other cities in Texas of a similar size. After work, residents enjoy a park system with plenty of pools and playgrounds for the kids. There’s also a public golf course, which is a great place to soak up the central Texas sun.
While housing costs in Killeen are more affordable than in the rest of the country, a large military population moving in and out of town mean housing stock is unpredictable and often low. You may have to wait to move into a permanent Killeen home or have to settle for one with less storage space.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage facilities in and around Killeen. Renting a unit is surprisingly affordable, even if you need a larger one or would like a longer lease. And with facilities all over town, it’s easy to find one close to home. If you’re looking at a move to Killeen, don’t let yourself get hung up over storage space.
