Resort-style living outside just outside of Tyler
Luxury and seclusion flow from Cascades, a residential enclave located along the banks of Bellwood Lake. The neighborhood features a variety of home styles, all on expansive grassy lots, while the adjoining Cascades Country Club offers numerous recreational amenities on land or water. The historic shops and restaurants of Downtown Tyler are just 5 miles away, but one would never guess it due to the towering oak and pine trees that provide seclusion from neighbors. “To me, Cascades offers this resort-like feel for a smaller city like Tyler,” says Stephanie Miller, Realtor and broker associate with Standard Real Estate. “My dad actually built homes when they were first turning it into the Cascades, so I’ve got a lot of history with it.” And, with access to highly-rated schools and championship-level golf, it's obvious the neighborhood was designed to be one of the city's most coveted zip codes.
The vast golf course in the Cascades is an enticing draw for residents.
Evenings in nearby Downtown Tyler are just 5 miles from the Cascades.

Lakeside estates shaded by towering East Texas trees
Cascades consists of different subdivisions offering multiple single-family and multi-family options. Classic Texas Ranch homes with brick exteriors and gabled roofs are a popular style near the neighborhood's eastern end. Traveling west, the architectural style begins to vary, with large Spanish revivals and Modern farmhouses populating expansive grassy lots. The large buildings and their well-manicured front yards consisting of colorful flowers and native foliage are shaded by East Texas’s famous towering trees. Grand lakefront estates with scenic backyard views of Bellwood Lake are also available. While there may be no sidewalks, housing lots equal roughly half an acre, providing plenty of space for children or dogs to play outside. “The lot size, the trees - things like that are what people like,” says Miller. The Cascades Lake Towers and Stretford at the Cascades are condominium complexes with ample amenities. Empty lots can be found scattered throughout and begin pricing for $120,000. Multifamily residences sell between $300,000 and $600,000, while single-family builds range from $1 million to $2.75 million.

Championship golf course at the Cascades Country Club
The Cascades Country Club features all the classic resort-style amenities ranging from swimming pools and a fitness center to indoor tennis courts. The 18-hole championship golf course winds through rolling hills and frequently hosts tournaments, including 12 Texas State Opens. “The golf course is one of my favorites in the area,” Miller says. Residents enjoy launching kayaks or canoes into the glistening waters of Lake Bellwood. The 160-acre reservoir is home to numerous species of game fish, including largemouth bass and channel catfish. Humans aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun, as the Bark Park allows canine companions to run free. Basketball courts, softball diamonds and a disc golf course can all be found at Lindsey Park, under 4 miles away.

Blue Heron Bar & Grill offers lakeside dining
Residents don’t have to travel far for a bite to eat as there are three different dining spots located within the community. The Blue Heron Grill sits on the banks of Lake Bellwood and features casual American cuisine in an indoor-outdoor setting. Mahogany Bar is a popular spot to watch the big game and try some tasty cocktails. Texas is known for its barbecue and Rudy’s “Country Store” and Bar-B-Q is a big reason why. The iconic Texas chain stands 1.5 miles down the road and is well-known throughout the Southwest for its heaping servings of brisket, ribs and sides. Nearby, Sam’s Club is a member-only store that provides the neighborhood with bulk groceries and home goods.
