Midtown Tyler
Stanley’s Famous Pit Barbecue is famous for a reason
Residents here are close to some of the city’s favorite dining spots. Stanley’s Famous Pit Barbecue is famous for a reason, as its pork ribs have won numerous awards since the eatery was established in 1958. But the restaurant, which has been featured in multiple publications, is popular for more than smoked meats. “They have great barbecue, but if you go, you have to ask for a side of pickles,” says Myriah Boles, local Realtor with Standard Realty Group. “I'm not sure what it is, but they really have the best pickles.” Mama’s Restaurant and Happy’s Fish House are also popular eateries along East Fifth Street. For a night out, Tyler City Square is under 2 miles away and includes several local bars and breweries. Brookshire’s provides the neighborhood with fresh groceries, while the Friendly Baptist Church is one of many houses of worship serving the area. The nearest retail center is the Broadway Square shopping mall, under 4 miles away.Mid-century houses in Midtown
Midtown Tyler contains a mix of older homes from the mid-20th century. Modest Ranch-style houses with brick exteriors are the predominant style. Older, craftsman-style cottages with vinyl exteriors can also be found scattered throughout the residential pockets of the neighborhood. Towering oak and pine trees are common, and many front lawns have well-manicured landscaping and bright wildflowers. Prices range from $150,000 to $300,000, and listings often sell faster than the national average of 44 days. While the neighborhood features residents of all ages, it is popular with college students attending Tyler Junior College nearby.STEM magnet program with higher education nearby
Moore Middle School is both a comprehensive middle school and a STEM Magnet for the Tyler Independent School District. The school receives an A-minus rating from Niche and offers students a hands-on, technology-driven curriculum and the opportunity to compete in Academic competitions like the Tyler ISD Robotics Competition Championship. Bell Elementary also received an A-minus and is a Leadership School, following the “Seven Habits of Happy Kids” program developed by Dr. Steven Covey. The B-minus-rated Tyler High School features a long history of athletic success and includes alumni like NFL Hall-of-fame running back Earl Campbell. Graduates looking to pursue higher education while staying close to home can enroll in Tyler Junior College, which is in the neighborhood. TJC offers a range of associate and bachelor’s degree programs ranging from liberal arts and business management to nursing and healthcare administration.Tyler’s Medical Center provides health care to East Texas
Midtown Tyler’s medical center has become a hub for healthcare in the East Texas region. UT Health Tyler and Christus Health have award-winning campuses with level 1 trauma centers and a leading-edge heart hospital. The two hospital systems are the two largest employers in the city, with over 7,000 employees combined. And now, students will have an opportunity to become licensed physicians. “There’s a new University of Texas Medical School going in, which is a big deal for the area,” Landes says. The new medical school opened partially in Fall 2023 and is the first to open in East Texas.Hillside Park features an art wall
