I live in Tyler now. To echo what others have said, it depends on what you are looking for. Compared to LC I’d say it’s a no brainer in almost any category.
Pros:
- up and coming medium sized town feel. (Especially in the south part)
- some bang for your buck (though getting less so by the day)
- East Texas has the most tolerable weather in Texas IMO.
- lots of trees.
- trophy wives are easy on the eyes
Cons:
- others say it is close to Dallas but that is a relative term and I don’t agree for my needs. For me Dallas is somewhere you go to get the restaurants and amenities a Tyler doesn’t have (including DFW). It is two hours to DFW which is not close for an airport. Must drive your car and leaving it in LT parking. I don’t generally want to drive four hours total for a meal so don’t go there often for dinner.
- traffic sucks. It’s sprawled and there is a dangerous combination of old slow drivers and aggressive 150 driving types.
- food options for anything decent are almost non existent.
- not bike friendly.
- no charm or nice downtown area.
Having said all of this it is probably a good place to raise a family and certainly better than LC.
