PCS to Fort Hood (2026): 6 Towns Compared by BAH & Commute

Where should you live when you PCS to Fort Hood? This video compares all six corridor towns — Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Nolanville, Belton, and Temple — by 2026 BAH, gate commute, monthly cost, tour length, and your exit plan when orders change. Start here → the full 6-town breakdown with current numbers: https://templetxhomes.net/where-to-li... I'm Taylor Dasch, a real estate agent with EG Realty in Temple, TX. I've never served in the military — my edge is that I read the MLS for all six of these towns every week and I've closed deals in every one of them, so I have no reason to steer you toward any single town. This is a neutral comparison built on data, not a pitch. FREE Fort Hood PCS Housing Guide (PDF): https://templetxhomes.net/wp-content/...

Effective Jan 1, 2026 — confirm YOUR exact rate at the official Defense Travel Management Office BAH lookup. Town-by-town prices and market stats in this video are the June 2026 MLS snapshot from filming; the companion page above carries the current table. The BAH-based budget shown is one conservative planning scenario — not a lending rule and not a limit on what you qualify for. Prices, taxes, insurance, school assignment, flood status, HOA/MUD/PID costs, and commute times change and are address-specific: verify the exact address through official sources (county appraisal district, school district lookup, FEMA flood maps) before deciding. Nothing here is legal, tax, lending, or financial advice.
