Thank you so much. I was Stationed @ Fort Hood in 1987 and it’s still Fort Hood I don’t play that Woke game, I’m 66 and a Gulf War Veteran of 91 and now a Disabled Veteran. Your videos bring back memories of Killeen/ Fort Hood area . Although it’s been 37 years somethings still look the same, but much has changed. God Bless! 🇺🇸
I grew up and lived in Killeen in the 2000s when Fort Hood had significantly less housing. I haven't been back in the last couple or few years but it's nice to see that most of Killeen hasn't changed much. Rancier looked like it had no change at all from when I first went down the street years ago.
One good thing about Killeen is the Gyro Stop at 10th and Hall (at 14:40 across the street to the right). That man makes a delicious Gyro at a fairly reasonable price. If you get the combo, a gyro, fries, and drink, it's an even better deal.
Place has a funk in the air. Boring place, negative people, depressing vibe , poverty crime substance abuse. I used to live in Terrace heights apartments back when that extra storage facility was an empty lot
Moving down there in November. Already have a job and a place waiting! Everyone I’ve met from Texas says it’s a nice place. Hope it is considering I’ll be driving 2200 miles to get there 😅
I'm sorry. Killeen is Killeen is kinda horrible. It's way underfunded because the disproportionate amount of disabled army vets here that don't pay property taxes.(I'm one of them). The crime on the north side is out of control. The grocery stores had to close on that side of town. Downtown is overrun with homeless. There is no extra curricular stuff to do here you need to drive 45minutes south to do anything in Austin. I live here because I've been here off and on since the 90s and it's close to the VA. Good luck.
I work for the city. Killeen has a high crime rate. Teens are a big issue here. Downtown Killeen is the bad part of town. Carry a fire arm and don't leave valuables in your car.
Generally better further south towards either the Texas A&M-Central Texas or Chaparral High School areas or near the south side of Harker Heights. Great new park, higher end homes, and a hiking trail on the Killeen-Harker Heights southern border in Heritage Oaks.
@@jamesbrown6841I’m looking into moving that way as well, fiancées family is there. What would you say is ‘unsafe’ ? Like vehicle break ins? Or the obvious presence of drugs? Really curious, I come from the Bay Area and it’s awful. Thank you!
@@nickmuaythaiandfitness You will think everything is safe. We have a couple of blocks by our city hall that have kids that think they are something that shoot at each other now and then. I've lived north of San Diego, south of DC and other places. You will think you moved to super small town USA.
After they crossed the railroad tracks is where they entered downtown. There are no tall buildings in Killeen. Probably 5 or 6 stories is the tallest. Most of those are hospitals and hotels. Also, at about 14:40 at Hall and 10th Street, that is part of the downtown as well.

I love videos like this. I grew up in Killeen from 70s to the 80s as an army brat. So this brings back some memories. Thanks for posting
Everything before Young Drive looked exactly the way it looked 30 years ago!

Live there for one year. My husband was stationed at Fort Hood. This was 50 years ago.
Used to live there in the mid 80s,I truly miss that place
In 1 month we moved to those parts. I would like to know what you think of Cooper TX

Miss that place .
The rectum of the planet: Killeen
Live in Killeen since 2000 although in a different neighborhood. Many soldiers and their families reside here
Nice tour of Killeen TX
Lived on the corner of Rancier and 8th Street for years. Was a wild little area at night. Kill town Tx. Miss Tx but NOT Killeen..
Place has a funk in the air. Boring place, negative people, depressing vibe , poverty crime substance abuse. I used to live in Terrace heights apartments back when that extra storage facility was an empty lot
Wow...texas is beautiful
this looks exactly like everywhere else
Killeen rulez. Thanks for uploading this video. I've spent a year 1988 and 1989 in the area. Great!
Three pawnshops within one block. That tells you everything you need to know about that town.
A lot bigger than when I was last there in 1969.
Whoo! The ghetto
Moving down there in November. Already have a job and a place waiting! Everyone I’ve met from Texas says it’s a nice place. Hope it is considering I’ll be driving 2200 miles to get there 😅
You got swindled

@@mrunknown3414 I used to work for the city if Killeen water/sewer in 2003-2005 and it was scary then
Stayed on cardinal a long time👏
Hello, in general how would you describe Kileen? One word for positive and negative. Were thinking of moving here
Positive: Cheap
Negative: Boring
Did you see the ghost car appear out of nowhere?
Is it a safe area?
Looking into possibly moving out this way.
The southside (south of I-14) looked like the safer, more desirable part of town.
Generally better further south towards either the Texas A&M-Central Texas or Chaparral High School areas or near the south side of Harker Heights. Great new park, higher end homes, and a hiking trail on the Killeen-Harker Heights southern border in Heritage Oaks.
I live here now. 95% of killeen is safe. My wife is super active in the community. I have raised two kids here on basic middle-class money.

Does Killeen Texas have a downtown, a popular of 140,000 people a not downtown

Why? I live in the next town to the west. I am a photographer but do not photograph streets.
How can american cities be so absurdly awfull. It’s crazy
