Which school zones are driving the most home sales in Bell County right now? A look at the data shows that Haynes Elementary leads with nine closed sales in October, followed by Western Hills with seven. Thomas Arnold and Alice W Douse each recorded six transactions during the same period. ALEX Intelligence analyzed sales activity across elementary attendance zones to rank them strictly by volume, not by test scores or quality ratings. In Bell County, which covers Killeen, Temple, Belton, and Salado, school zone performance is measured solely by how many homes change hands. The data reflects 60 closed sales in October, a figure that includes transactions across all these zones. Haynes Elementary saw a median sale price of $263,975 for its nine transactions. Western Hills recorded a median of $233,999 across seven sales. Alice W Douse reached a median of $323,377 with six homes sold, while Thomas Arnold achieved the highest median price in this group at $614,500 for its six closed sales. These figures represent actual market activity where buyers and sellers are transacting. Rankings are based entirely on the number of closed sales within each zone's attendance boundary during the analysis window. No other factors influence these rankings. The data confirms that while some zones have higher transaction volumes, others command significantly higher price points per sale. This analysis relies on 60 closed sales in October 2026. Figures are rounded to the nearest dollar or percentage point as reported in the source data. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
