Tyler hands down.

I grew up in Longview (Pine Tree) and would have to say if we ever move back East, it'll be in Tyler (on the southside)

I would say Tyler.

Lufkin is not bad and is growing quick, but I would send my kids to school at hudson or central (both small towns to the west/northwest of lufkin). They both have great schools.

Stay away from Nac!!!!

Tyler isd has the best schools out of those. if you want to live on the southside and out of town a little, look at flint and grasham. they are in TISD

I agree with the above that Tyler, Lindale, Whitehouse.

Everyone I know likes Lindale - its still small town but growing rapidly and so close to Tyler (and yes I did graduate from Lindale High School!)

Tyler is a traffic infested ****hole, you will be doing yourself an injustice to move there. I recommend Longview and private schools.

The only thing Tyler has going for it over Longview is that it's a little closer to Dallas. Otherwise, they are about the same.

Southside of Tyler. Gresham and Flint if you want to live outside the city.

South Tyler is developing but don't just look there. There are nice areas on the East Side of Tyler. The Pollard Area, Azalea District and the McDonald/Golden Road area are nice too.


South is newer. You'll find a lot of track homes going up that are cheap too.

I grew up in the area. I would have to pick Lindale...and no, I did not go to school there.

p.s. Longview and Tyler have quite a bit of crime in certain areas
