Fort Hood Commute Times - #5 of 7 Things You Should Do Before Buying Fort Hood Real Estate

Before you finally make your offer on the perfect home, hit the road and check the actual Fort Hood commute time from your new home to the gate you will use to access Fort Hood.

Traffic will be heaviest in the morning between 6 and 9, as everyone goes to PT, work and school. Then it's busy again around 3-4 as schools dismiss. From 4:-30 to 6:30 expect crazy, heavy traffic as everyone leaves work and heads home.

And at all times drive defensively!   There's usually at least ONE crazy driver terrorizing the expressway at any time of day!  (Usually several of them!) 

Normal Fort Hood commute times run around 25-35 minutes, whether you are driving from Copperas Cove, Killeen, or Harker Heights.

Getting into the main gates will take longer. Consider using one of the smaller access points to avoid traffic.

AND don't depend on the distances and commute times figured by Yahoo, or Google Maps, either. They are notoriously incorrect!  Get out there and test those Fort Hood commute times for yourself.
