Charleston Park Subdivision (Tyler: homes, neighborhood, university)

[jccorn]

My wife and I are considering Tyler as a place to retire. Does anyone know anything about the Charleston Park subdivision area that is SE of Tyler? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

Not sure what you need. The subdivision is very well kept. Maybe 10-15 years old. One street does backup, on the south side, to two-story housing for the University of Texas at Tyler, which is just across the street from Charleston Park. The area of Tyler, CP is located is well kept.

You probably looked up online to SEE the type of housing that is there. Most, if not all are very different than anything or any other subdivision in Tyler. They are colonial-looking, maybe Charleston South Carolina, go figure, styles, very nice. Thus, they are not all brick homes but have kept their clean-cut newish look. It is a small subdivision, "small" for even Tyler standards, 50-75 homes?

If you want something unique, that's the place. They really decorate for Christmas, NOT the whole subdivision, but worth a short trip over to enjoy the lights.

Not sure what else to say, if you need or like to, email me directly through the forum, glad to help or direct you to someone else. Where are you coming from? it's always interesting to know on this end.

When will you consider a visit, have you been here before? This is truly the peak of winter for Tyler, it looks its "bleakest" right now. Some bushes, evergreens, and of course, in that area some large pine trees. Pines or mostly in East Tyler, South Tyler, continuing, east and south of Tyler.

Some more perspective:

This seems like a very nice neighborhood, but it also is super close to the UT campus. Also, it's on the east side of town which is not growing as fast as the south and southwest side of town. You will be pretty far from new growth.

Just some things to consider.
