Historic homes and a community with deep roots

From its historic homes to its participation in the iconic Azalea & Spring Flower’s Trail, Tyler’s Azalea District continuously finds itself at the center of Tyler’s biggest attractions. “The Azalea District is rich with heritage and life,” says Karla Hutchinson, local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Apex. “It's been there a long time, which shows because the older homes have a ton of character. There are brick streets and residents feel really strong about keeping them brick.” While the eclectic mix of houses dates back to the early 1900s, residents of all ages have kept the community fresh. Afternoons are spent walking to nearby green spaces such as Bergfeld Park, where a newly constructed amphitheater hosts year-round shows. Local restaurants are also just a walk or quick drive away, and residents can return from their nights out on the town to a community that has stood the test of time. “Many of the older homes have front porches for homeowners to enjoy and the neighborhood is very walkable,” says Amanda Heterich, Executive Director of Historic Tyler. “There’s a real sense of belonging and community here.”

An eclectic mix of architectural styles on brick-lined streets

This neighborhood contains the largest residential concentration of early to mid-20th-century builds in Tyler. Many of the homes were built during the population boom that followed the discovery of oil nearby. Today, a wide variety of architectural styles lines the brick streets. Tudor Revivals with pitch-gabled roofs sit next to stately Colonial Revivals with brick exteriors. Craftsman-style cottages are popular in the northern section of the neighborhood, while ranch-style builds fill in the gaps. Homeowners take pride in their landscaping, and many lawns feature colorful flowers with towering oak and pine trees. While the house’s historic nature is undoubtedly an attractive feature, they do require some upkeep. “It's very diverse with lots of different building styles,” says Myriah Boles, local Realtor with Standard Realty Group. “However, there is an inspection report, so you have to be okay with being handy in order to get your house up to code.” Prices generally range from $250,000 to $400,000, with larger, updated estates pricing between $500,000 and $700,000.

Bergfeld Park is the hub for recreation

Bergfeld Park anchors recreation within the neighborhood, and visitors will find an array of amenities ranging from tennis courts and splash grounds to a skatepark. The park’s newly completed amphitheater hosts the East Texas Symphony Orchestra for a free evening of classical music. Other events include a spring movie series and 5k races. The Azalea District is famous for its colorful flowers and well-manicured lawns, but the Pyron Garden stands above the rest. This privately maintained residential garden features colorful flowers, towering trees and a walking path that meanders through streams and sculptures. Another location that displays the city’s vibrant foliage is the Tyler Rose Garden, just 2 miles away.

Bergfeld Park is where you can catch live events or just kick back with friends and have fun.

Neighborhood coffee shops with the Tyler City Square nearby

Brady’s Coffee Shop has, since 1996, provided a welcoming space for people to visit, read and enjoy a hot cup of coffee right in the neighborhood. The walls are lined with creative exhibitions by local artists, and the shelves are stacked with books and poetry. Brady’s is one of the few commercial spots in the district, although residents are close to popular eateries in downtown Tyler. Rick’s on the Square is a local institution serving classic steaks, burgers, and cocktails since 1992. Nearby, Stanley’s Famous Pit Barbecue features award-winning pork ribs and brisket. Brickstreet Pharmacy provides the neighborhood with convenient medical care, while fresh produce and weekly groceries can be found at Brookshire’s. UT Tyler Health and Christus Health medical centers are just 2 miles away.

The Rose Capital of America

Tyler is known as “The Rose Capital of America,” and The Azalea District is a big reason why. Every spring, the neighborhood blossoms during the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail. The celebration winds through 10 miles of residential gardens and historic homes with colorful azaleas, tulips and roses on full display. Carriage rides are a popular way to experience the full bloom and run Thursday through Sunday during the event's weekends. Another popular gathering is the Tyler Rose Festival, a tradition that has only grown since its beginnings in 1933. The festival is held every October and includes events like the Queen’s Coronation and Rose Parade. It is capped off with the Rose Festival Arts and Career Fair.

Recently renovated Tyler public schools

All three schools received an A-minus rating on Niche. Good Shepherd School is an A-rated private education option for parents to consider. Tyler Junior College and The University of Texas at Tyler are nearby and feature multiple associate, undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

Dallas is 100 miles to the west, and Shreveport is 98 miles to the east. Both cities are around a 2-hour drive via Interstate 20.
