Small community close to hospitals and the university campus
Donnybrook Heights is a small residential community that draws medical professionals, medical students and anyone looking to be close to major health centers. It sits about 3 miles from the University of Texas at Tyler, which features a vibrant and growing medical school, and about 2 miles from UT Health Tyler and CHRISTUS Mother Frances hospitals. “If you’re older, it’s great to live so close to the hospitals, or if you work in the medical industry. It’s really convenient,” says Annie Dwyer, a real estate broker with Brooklyn Rose Realty Group and a Tyler resident.
UT Tyler and The Cowan Center is a short trip for the residents of Donnybrook Heights.
Christus Mother Frances Hospital offers a complete range of services and innovative procedures.

Renovated ranch-style and Minimal Traditional houses throughout the community
A mix of midcentury-era ranch-style and Minimal Traditional houses line the quiet streets in a mix of conditions. “You have some homes in major need of help and some that are ready to go,” Dwyer says. However, fully renovated houses outnumber fixer-uppers, with exteriors featuring fresh paint and interiors featuring new appliances. Prices range from the low $200,000s to the high $200,000s. Lot sizes are spacious, with landscaped front yards and tree-filled backyards. The only large roadway in the community is South Donnybrook Avenue, which separates homes from Rose Hill Cemetery. Otherwise, the streets are quiet, and many are lined with sidewalks, where residents walk their dogs and take morning jogs.
Luxurious one story brick homes with well manicured lawns can be found in Donnybrook Heights.
