Get CenturyLink in Harker Heights, Texas

Harker Heights might not be quite the middle of nowhere, USA—but it's definitely a far cry from downtown Houston. Driving into town, you probably noticed the medical center, activities building, and possibly Stillhouse Hollow Lake, depending on the route you took through Bell County. And that's…about it.

Still, if you stick around—and are willing to put in a little bit of time and effort into searching out the best the city can offer—you'll find a few hidden Heights treasures that will make your time here well worth it.

For instance, if you're craving a weeknight out on the town, try Painting with a Twist, a guided arts studio featuring adults-only, BYOB nights. If you're the adventurous sort, enjoy Boulders Sport Climbing Center, where beginners and pros alike are invited to join a strong, local climbing community. And head over to Killeen's Great Escape of Central Texas, where you and your friends can spend an hour solving the mystery of the eighth horcrux or decoding German messages with the WWII Enigma machine.

Need a break after unpacking your new home? Enjoy a night in with takeout from Opa's Schnitzel Hut—a hidden gem in a tiny old house, open Wednesday to Saturday—and your favorite Netflix® show, available with high-speed internet from CenturyLink.
