May have an opportunity to take a position in Tyler. Same position I currently hold in Lake Charles, but with a potential for a higher income. Looking for insights from anyone who currently lives or has lived in the area. TIA

You would be close to great fishing, if that’s your gig.

Haven’t lived there, but my family has a house on Lake Tyler that I go to a few times a year. It’s certainly better than it was 10 years ago. Then I would have said don’t live there unless you’re retired, now I think it would be a nice place to live. Take this with a grain of salt as when I’m there, I don’t really wander into town except to go to the store or eat out.

Great city. Low crime. Rapidly growing. Easy trip to Dallas. Lots of lakes in the area.

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

Higher income that would probably go further in Tyler than Lake Chuck. Tyler is small but growing. Lots of lakes in the area with a mix of full time and weekend residents. We have a Lakehouse not far from there and love the area. There’s no fine cuisine to be had, though.

Used to be some great all nude strip clubs there. I would definitely make sure before I moved there. Also be prepared to drive for hours to get some beer

[TYLER, TEXAS] has to be exponentially better than living in Lake Charles.

Thoughts on Tyler, Tx


Home to one of the best BBQ restaurants in the state, Stanley's.

About 1.5 hours away from Dallas and 1.5 hours away from Shreveport.

You could do a lot worse than Tyler, that's for sure, like Lake Charles. Texas has no state income tax, but does have higher property taxes.

Small city and probably a good place to raise kids. Way better than lake Charles.

Unlike NELA, it’s booming baw. Strike while the iron is hot.

You’ll miss the state tax withholding but you’ll cuss when that property tax comes due.

I’m in both Tyler & LC often for work. It all depends on what you value more & what you like to do. Tyler is booming on south side & is…pretty damn nice for small city. You can get to Dallas quickly. It’s far nicer in my opinion than LC. Plus you wouldn’t have to worry about the yearly threat of hurricanes in NE Texas
