Quiet neighborhood feel with Tyler's attractions nearby

Midtown Tyler sits on the doorstep of some of Tyler’s finest attractions and provides an accessible way into the East Texas city. The quiet residential neighborhood is close to iconic local eateries like Stanley’s Famous Pit Barbecue and the revitalized shops and restaurants of downtown Tyler. Ranch-style builds from the mid-20th century provide an accessible home base for homeowners exploring nearby green spaces like Bergfeld Park. “It's got the big city feel with tons of attractions and amenities close by,” says John Landes, managing partner with Fourth Point Real Estate and longtime Tyler resident. “But you’re still close to the countryside with that quiet neighborhood feel.”

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.
