Worst things about Harker Heights nobody talks about

Hello, I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 9.3%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 67--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to Phoenix it's hit or miss.

I've lived in North for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- The outdoor recreation scene is tough

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Good luck with whatever you decide..
