These two towns offer a quick commute to post (think under 10 miles) and even closer access to big chain stores and restaurants that you’ve already come to know and love at previous duty stations.

3105 Minthorn Dr — Killeen, Texas
Just three miles from Fort Hood, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom property offers a quick commute to post.
The brick exterior and pretty landscaping make a charming first impression. Inside, you’ll find a few fun additions like the French door entrance to the study, the shiplap half bathroom, and the sliding barn door to the second pantry.
You’ll find multiple separate living spaces: a formal living room when you enter the home, a dining room, and an informal living room down the hallway. This informal living space features a fireplace and connects to the kitchen’s eat-in area offering French door access to the backyard.
The kitchen is complete with a custom ceramic tile floor, an updated backsplash, center island, dining bar, and a new gas oven/stove with convection oven option and vent hood. It also has (drumroll please) a deep double basin sink and a new (quiet) garbage disposal, touch faucet, and a stainless steel dishwasher — it’s so quiet that you might not even know it’s running. You’ll also find not one, but two pantries, a desk area, plenty of storage space, and a skylight.
The large master suite features a bay window, his and hers closets, and a newly remodeled bathroom complete with a garden tub and a walk-in shower.
While the interior offers any number of reasons to commit to this property, perhaps the largest selling point is the in-ground pool out back. This outdoor living space offers the best way to beat the Texas heat!
But looks aren’t everything. There are a couple of key ingredients to this property that make it low maintenance: the wood vinyl flooring throughout, the sprinkler system, energy-efficient A/C unit, and recently installed premium dimensional roof point towards stress-free homeownership.
Bonus: the three-car garage creates space to store extra belongings, create a workspace, or a home gym!
