Service town to Fort Sill

A quick, easy drive to the installation.

Lawton sits just south of Fort Sill, and this home enjoys one of the more convenient commutes in the area, about a six-minute drive to the installation’s Scott Gate. That makes daily access to base a straightforward family routine rather than a logistics problem.

Fort Sill has been active since 1869 and is known as the “Home of Field Artillery,” home of the U.S. Army Fires Center of Excellence and one of the nation’s basic combat training sites. Its rich history, including the final years of Geronimo, is on view at its museums on post.

It’s a community built on a strong military-heritage culture, paired with the Native American history of the Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache peoples who shaped this region of Oklahoma.

On the doorstep

The Wichita Mountains are your weekend.

About 20 minutes away, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is one of the oldest managed wildlife areas in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service system. Roaming herds of bison and elk, hiking up Mount Scott, scenic drives, fishing, kayaking, and wildlife photography make it an unmatched backyard amenity.

Historic Medicine Park sits at the refuge entrance, a charming resort town with Bath Lake, an aquarium, and easy access to the granite hills. Closer to home, the Museum of the Great Plains and Comanche National Museum & Cultural Center bring the region’s ranching and Native American heritage to life.
