Suburban subdivision full of UT Tyler students, employees and families
Just north of the sprawling University of Texas at Tyler campus is University Place, a small enclave of New Traditionals that has become home to many college-bound children living in houses purchased by their parents. However, the neighborhood is hardly a rowdy college row. “If young adults lived there, you’d never know,” says Annie Dwyer, a real estate broker with Brooklyn Rose Realty Group and a Tyler resident. “It’s really very quiet.” Once students graduate, their parents often rent or sell the houses to UT Tyler employees or young families looking for a peaceful suburban home steps from the bustling university.
It is just a short ride to all the stores in Downtown Tyler from University Place.
Head out to the Library at UT Tyler with a friend for a quick study session.

New Traditional homes with three bedrooms are common
The southern half of the neighborhood contains the Foundry Apartments, home to many students. "It might get a little loud for the homes that back up to those apartments, but even then, it's pretty quiet," says P.J. Hartley, a Realtor with RE/MAX Properties, the Crutcher and Hartley Team, who sells throughout Tyler. The rest of the neighborhood is traditionally suburban, with spacious streets often ending in cul-de-sacs, roomy manicured lawns and an assortment of New Traditional style homes. The homes primarily offer three bedrooms and two bathrooms and were built in the late 1980s through the 1990s. Most are brick, with low-pitched roofs, big front windows and two-car garages. Prices range from the high $200,000s to the high $300,000s. Front yards are grassy and neatly landscaped. Mature trees dot the roadways and cluster in ample backyards.
University Place is a great community nestled close by to UT Tyler and Golden Road Park.
