Angela M. says: Born and raised in Cache/Lawton(Ft. Sill) area. We are currently stationed here now. The post community is good. New housing built within the last 5 years and new divisions in construction now. PX is relatively small in comparison to other posts and ba
The businesses in Lawton vary as greatly as the Oklahoma weather at any given moment. You'll find that the area while not laden with strip malls and outlet stores it does offer enough to provide you with choices ranging from Wranglers and boots to high-end men's wear.
Kristen H. says: Ft. Sill is a fairly quiet community. There's a hiring freeze on post for the most part. In town jobs that pay well are not in good supply. Most of the stores needed are here in town but if you want Target Best Buy large malls OKC & Wichita Falls is better for shopping. Rentals here are older but if you are looking to buy there are many new communities being built. As far as post the ACS ~ & MWR have excellent program. There's also a pilot program off post clinic for Family members called Frontier Mountain Home & it's awesome! The commissary & px are decent could be bigger.
Amber W. says: The people at Ft. Sill and the surrounding area are wonderful. However due to brac there have been so many people flooding into the Lawton/Ft.Sill area that it is overflowing. The city of Lawton can't keep up with the roadwork. There is a lack of good housing and good paying jobs are hard to come by. The cost of living in that area is very low. There is far more to do around the Ft. Lee area if you are the city life type. Ft Sill is more the country life there isn't exactly much in the way of good shopping unless you drive up to OKC or down to Wichita Falls TX.
Tab M. says: Fort Sill is the worst place I have been too. Avoid it if you can.
Kerri W. says: Fort Sill = misery. Been here almost 5 years. Do not come here. I say again do not come here. Lol...
Alexa T. asks: What is a good area to live in? My fiance is stationed at Fort Sill now. I will be making my way there in the summer. I'm looking for a good neighborhood. Any suggestions?
Ashley S. says: Outside city limits
Anita H. says: On ba
Hilary M. says: I live on the East side of Lawton and I love it. Its quiet and the crime is a lot less. Good luck house hunting!
Xtina R. says: I lived on the East side and it was pretty safe. I worked on the West side and it was ok. More towards in between is where you hear more about breakings and robberies. It never hurts to just keep your guard up and carry a palm size flashlight/stun gun just in case ;)
Lupita M. says: I live in southwest city perimeter and is awesome really quiet plus we have an awesome school Bishop Elementary. :)
Andrea M. says: I live on the far West side and it's "ok". If you go further West into new housing or East side of I-44 it's better. Or like Ashley said not even in Lawton. Elgin to the North and Geronimo to the South are supposed to be nice areas it just depends on how far from the ba
Ashley S. says: I live on ba
Barbara W. says: NW is good you can go on crimestoppers and find out where all the sexual offenders are. Thus far none are listed for my area. I live down the street from the Walmart on 6301 Nw Quannah Parker Trl Lawton OK 73505 very nice area.
Melissa P. says: The West side or East side. I own a home off of 82nd and it's a gorgeous little area. Steer clear of the middle of Lawton.
Casey B. says: Do not go to Ft. Sill Oklahoma. Horrible here nothing to do off post especially if you have kids..the on post housing is very nice but off post is crappy. I don't recommend anyone asking to get stationed here. Many I have met here feel the same way!
Dominique G. asks: Hi Ladies!! I am curious what the on-post fence rental is at Ft. Sill and elsewhere as we are moving next to Vilseck Germany for 3 years and could need to do this. Depending on the dollar amount we might look at other options. THANKS.
Paula C. says:It's $20 a month.
Cetoria S. says: On ba
Anita H. says: I pay 25 a month but if u pay a yr in advance u get 3 months free
Kelly M. says: I know people that have fences and don't pay a dime for them. . There are 2 different companies that rent fences. Lots of houses already have fences. Sometimes they just wont come take them down. I would just compare the two then pick who is the best for what you need.
Ashley S. says: We live in Geronimo Acres on Fort Sill and pay $20 a month.
Ashley C. says: crossing on post from arnold's fence co. $30 a month.
