The Charnwood District is Tyler’s first historic district
The Charnwood District’s historic homes and brick-lined streets tell the story of one of Tyler’s most storied neighborhoods. Development dates back to the 1860s and features a variety of historic architectural styles on display. Today, the charming enclave sits in the middle of the growing Texas city, and residents are within walking distance of downtown Tyler's vibrant shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and one stroll down its storied avenues, it's easy to see why. “Brick streets anchor much of the neighborhood, and old-growth trees dot the landscape,” says Amanda Herterich, Executive Director of Historic Tyler, Inc. “Iron fencing and low stone walls give a sense of permanence and character to an area featuring both modest and grand scale residences.”
Charming brick streets make up much of Charnwood District.

Historically significant homes with a range of architectural styles
From the 1860s to the 1940s, the majority of the Charnwood District’s residences were constructed, and the neighborhood experienced an influx of wealth and population thanks to the discovery of oil in East Texas. These historic homes have stood the test of time and are a significant draw for prospective homebuyers. “Buyers who seek out historic properties often do so because they crave the beauty and authenticity imbued in the craftmanship of historic homes,” Herterich says. Tudor-Revivals and craftsman-style homes sit under the shade of towering oak and pine trees, while Queen Ann and Colonial Revivals can also be found scattered throughout. Modest ranch-style dwellings begin pricing on the lower end and sell for $120,000 to $200,000. The more historic homes list between $300,000 and $500,000 and stay on the market for an average of 29 days, significantly lower than the national average.
