Harker Heights has been my hometown for over 7 years now. I have started raising my children here and becoming part of the community. The schools here are great but the one thing I would like to change about them is the food. They could use more healthy options and less unhealthy. Harker Heights is thriving and growing with every sunrise. New businesses are coming in, but we also still have the old. What I would like to see change in this city is less crime, less homelessness and more growth in amount of kindness and love for each other.
Overall a nice suburban town with great nature nearby and Austin and Waco are only about an hour drive away. Harker Heights is very diverse and has relatively good schools with great band, choir, orchestra, and athletic programs. The areas south of I-14 are generally nicer with nice city parks and the Stillhouse Hollow Lake area is beautiful with good fishing and several parks for hiking, kayaking, or mountain biking. The city's taxes are a bit high for the services provided at my place (no sewer service). People are generally very friendly and the area from Harker Heights to Temple is booming currently with a new family entertainment complex, Chuy's, and Black Bear Diner coming to Harker Heights soon. Though, Harker Heights could use more good jobs beyond military and healthcare.
This is a military area and most people here are brought here by the base close by. Is located in between most of the major Texas cities.
There isn't much to do in Harker Heights, there is a lot of businesses around though. The city itself seems to be good at staying peaceful and civil.
It's a nice, quiet town. There's very little to do, but the people are friendly, and mostly old-fashioned.

Harker Heights is a nice, fairly quiet, suburb of Killeen. It's a great for military families, especially families with children. There are lots of parks, family oriented businesses and well liked restaurants. The schools in the area are good and Harker Heights has a livability score of 83/100. As a plus, the town is a only short drive from many other cities and popular attractions.
I love Harker Heights! It has grown a bit since I moved here but nothing too unbearable. The high school in Harker Heights is great and it is a great place to raise a family.
Harker Heights is a diverse city with lots of family oriented venues like parks, military museums, and lots of open space for activities. The community is tight-knit and many of the members are active or retired soldiers. I love and feel protected within my community.
Harker Heights is a great suburb out of Killeen for families/military families. The schools are wonderful and there a lots of kids. Something I would change is the county building and expanding with new restaurants, businesses and clearing out trees which are home to local animals.
I moved to the area about 1.5 years ago. I have been pleasantly surprised with the safety of the area. Stores are easily accessible as well as the highway. I feel the roads are well maintained and care is put into their school system. They also do a good job promoting community unity through multiple community activated throughout all times of the year.
I like Harker Heights because it has everything you might need locally. The neighborhoods are quiet and very safe.
There are many activities to do around here and it is next to other cities/towns so you have more areas to explore! It's also nearby big cities like Austin, so you're not in the middle of nowhere.
Harker Heights is not just a small town, but it is a community. It is clean, the people are friendly, and the school spirit is fantastic.
Nice area & close to Fort Hood. The schools are decent and the area is up and coming. Close to shopping and restaurants.
We just love our house and location, it gives us everything we need! We have a smaller community, and quiet area and we can drive just about anywhere within 3 hours.
