Lakeside living in East Texas
Spacious homes perch along placid Lake Tyler with long piers leading to boathouses where kayaks and jet skis wait to be taken out on the water. Large outdoor decks face the lake, perfect for reading a book on a warm afternoon, and the only sound is the wind through the trees. For many, this is a perfect yet fleeting vacation, but it's everyday life for residents of East Side, a small community located along the banks of Lake Tyler. East Side is about 15 miles from Downtown Tyler and 8 miles from the smaller Downtown Whitehouse—removed from any hint of hustle and bustle. It’s secluded, and as Annie Dwyer, a real estate broker with Brooklyn Rose Realty Group and a Tyler resident, says, “I think they like it that way. It’s a lifestyle out there. People are drawn to the lifestyle.”
East Side's Lakeside Grill hosts a karaoke night every friday, bringing out locals.
East Side has some truly beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the lake.
