Tyler Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 410 reviews
There are many good experiences that people can have in small towns. Some common examples include a strong sense of community, a slower pace of life, and the opportunity to get to know one's neighbors and local businesses. Additionally, many people enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities that are often available in small towns. Tyler is a great place to raise a family and experience a tight-knit, supportive community. Of course, what constitutes a good experience will vary depending on the individual, but there are many potential positives to living in a small town. It's difficult to say what specific changes Tyler could benefit from, as each town is unique and will have its own set of challenges and opportunities. Some possible changes that could benefit small towns include increased economic development, the creation of new job opportunities and efforts to preserve and enhance the town's natural environment and cultural heritage.
Tyler is a lovely place to live in many regards. There are great public and private schools, world-renowned medical systems, and copious amounts of natural beauty. In the natural beauty, you can hike, bike (both road-biking and mountain biking), swim, canoe, kayak, and play among a dozen disc golf courses in the area. It is green and lush, and spring and fall are by far my favorite seasons here. However, if you are looking for a progressive or open-minded place to be, Tyler is not it. It very well may become this, but it will take some years. Lots of development is happening in Tyler currently and is slated for the near future. A medical school, as part of the University of Texas system, is being constructed as I type this. A downtown revitalization plan is under way to make downtown a delightful destination for locals and visitors alike. Tyler is rather segregated, but it is safe. Maybe it's your perfect place, but it's not mine, not yet at least.
I have been living in Tyler, Texas for 5 years now. It took me a while to love this city because I grew up in a huge community and city in Southern California. I moved to Tyler to pursue college and other personal interests, but this city has helped me grow as a person because the people I have worked and became friends with in Tyler. Although there is not many things to do in Tyler comparing to Dallas, you will find a little things to enjoy of living here and you do eventually find your own favorite spots to visit and hang out. This is also a great city to raise a family because they have fun places to take your kiddos to and the schools are great here from what I heard. One of my favorite places in Tyler is the state park because of the beautiful lake and the coffee shops! It has grown so much while living here and I wonder what other great things will come.
