The Woods
Wide variety of architectural styles on large grassy lots
The Woods was developed in 1993 and is the largest single master planned community in East Texas. Across the neighborhood’s 750 acres, various architectural designs sit on wide, curvy roads and cul-de-sacs. Stately ranch-style houses with brick exteriors are a popular style and occupy large, grassy lots. Contemporary Colonial Revivals can also be found scattered throughout, while Tudor mansions and Spanish-inspired villas fill in the gaps. The two community lakes provide backyard waterfront views for properties along their shores. Prices for modest, ranch-style builds range between $350,000 and $550,000, while larger estate homes price between $700,000 and $1 million. The neighborhood has multiple property owners’ associations that provide maintenance of properties and community amenities, including tennis courts and swimming pools.Community amenities include swimming pools and tennis courts
Recreation is always close by in The Woods. The neighborhood has maintained tennis courts and community pools available only to residents. Those looking for a book to read by the pool can choose from the selection found in the local book share. “Neighbors wanted to encourage summer reading,” Anderson says, “If you take a book, you have to leave a book, and it’s really cool because it’s maintained by the neighbors.” Dogs and kids alike enjoy the small open green space found at Lena’s Park, located next to the community pool. UT Tyler has numerous amenities for more intense outdoor recreation, including an 18-hole disc golf course and 5 miles of mountain biking trails. The crack of the bat is a familiar sound at Golden Road Park. The city green space located 2 miles away features multiple baseball diamonds and soccer fields. A day on the water is never far, as the deep blue waters of Lake Tyler are just 10 miles to the east.Visitors flock to see the Christmas lights
From community festivities to holiday celebrations, there are always events going on in The Woods. Christmas lights illuminate the neighborhood during December and attract visitors throughout Tyler. “They have the best Christmas lights,” Anderson says. “People drive from all over the city to come see them.” Halloween is filled with caseloads of candy and trailer rides for kids, and all are welcome to join in on the fun. “The residents really just look forward to treating everyone, not just the community,” Anderson says. Other celebrations include an Easter Egg Hunt and an annual splash party.Local restaurants and bars with commercial areas nearby
The Woods is entirely residential, but homeowners enjoy proximity to local eateries and watering holes nearby. One of these spots is The Republic Icehouse, a laid-back restaurant and bar that turns up the volume on the weekends with karaoke and live music. Nearby, Enoch’s Wine & Coffee House serves award-winning selections of reds, whites and tasty lattes in a casual atmosphere. Residents are just a short drive from some of Tyler’s favorite eateries like Happy’s Fish House and Mama’s. Super 1 Foods is 1.5 miles away and provides the neighborhood with fresh produce and groceries. Name-brand retailers like Lululemon and American Eagle can be found at the Broadway Square shopping mall, 3 miles away. Another appeal for the neighborhood is its accessibility to Tyler’s bustling medical district. “Lots of doctors live in the woods,” says Myriah Boles, a local Realtor with the Standard Realty Group. “It’s very easy to get to the hospitals nearby.Chapel Hill schools with higher education close by

Younger students begin their education at Wise Elementary and Kissam Intermediate School, both of which received a C-plus rating on Niche. Chapel Hill Junior High received an A-minus rating, while Chapel Hill High School received a B-minus.
