Enjoy the unique combination of small-town charm with the benefits of big-city amenities offering the best of both worlds. Tyler is one of the last great places to live, work and raise a family, where people feel welcome and truly at home.
Tyler’s historic downtown is the heart of the community. Our architectural gems include more than two-dozen buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, some of which house our five downtown museums. Our town square harkens back to a gentler time and is brimming with special events such as gallery openings, outdoor concerts and ArtWalk, where downtown buildings are turned into art galleries.
In addition to the high quality of life our residents enjoy, our local businesses also benefit from a favorable economic climate and strong workforce, which is why so many companies are choosing to make Tyler their home.
Tyler’s charming brick streets lead visitors to an array of family attractions, quaint antique shops, unique specialty stores and a bustling regional shopping mall.
