Towering trees and well-manicured lawns in South Tyler

Well-connected transportation routes link residents to downtown Tyler's historic shops and restaurants, just 3 miles away. However, the commercial development of South Tyler in recent years has provided homeowners with even closer access to popular eateries and shopping centers. The neighborhood’s mid-century modern houses offer a convenient and appealing launching point to explore the Rose City. “The properties themselves are very diversified with small homes and large homes,” says Holly Fitzgerald, former resident and broker with Texas Preferred Properties. “The majority of the homes here are midcentury moderns, which are very popular right now.
