Tranquility and seclusion under the shade of a green canopy
In The Woods, a quiet residential enclave in South Tyler, residents really do feel like they’re living in the woods. The neighborhood features a lush, green canopy of oak and pine trees that tower over stately homes and well-manicured front lawns. The roots of these trees run as deep as the homeowners who have lived here for many years. “Generations of families live in The Woods,” says Doug Crutcher, local Realtor and Co-owner of The Crutcher and Hartley Team, RE/MAX Properties. “To go from helping a married couple find a house to them helping their kids find a house years later is special; it’s a close-knit community with long-term relationships,” While the large lots may provide residential seclusion, it is only physical in nature, as the communal spirit of the neighborhood consistently brings homeowners together to celebrate holidays, birthdays and everything in between. And to the majority of those living in Tyler, the charm of The Woods is no secret. “It’s one of Tyler’s most exclusive neighborhoods,” says Kenzi Anderson, marketing director for The Crutcher & Hartley Team, RE/MAX Properties. “Everyone knows it, and it's not done growing; it's flourishing, and we have more people moving in all the time.”

UT Tyler has numerous amenities for more intense outdoor recreation, including an 18-hole disc golf course and 5 miles of mountain biking trails.
