Killeen is a mid-sized Central Texas city anchored by Fort Cavazos, with a steady stream of restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and affordable short-term rental options—ideal for travel therapists who want a comfortable, convenient base and enough local events and outdoor spaces to keep multi-week stays interesting.
Within about an hour you can reach Austin for live music, diverse dining and nightlife, and Waco for museums, coffee culture and riverfront activities, so you get quiet, affordable home-base living with easy access to bigger-city amenities.
