Curious what people think. I'm a teacher here and Crime rate is something to consider -Harker Heights sits at 199.8 per 100K. With a population of 33,595, Harker Heights is a smaller city. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Is this normal for Harker Heights? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
