Tyler, TX
A great place to live! -
3/10/2010I was born and raised in Tyler and have lived in many places across the country since I graduated high school. Tyler is a great place to raise a family. It has very little crime in comparison to other cities of similar size and jobs are pretty easy to come by. After living in Michigan, Washington, Oklahoma, California, Arkansas, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah; Tyler is a dream compared to the rest of the country. People are very friendly granted not alot of nightlife and yes very conservative but would you rather have your children living in a crime ridden dirty slum or in Tyler where you are safe and not exposed to the lower rung of society? The public schools are wonderful however if you have the choice I would choose Robert E Lee high school system over John Tyler. I am a John Tyler graduate and trust me you would rather send your children to Lee. Just stay away from the northside of town anywhere north of hwy 31 avoid completely everywhere else is absolutely a dream. If you are looking at a suburb Bullard is a great place to live. Just try to stay south of 31 it isn't violent but the northside is where all the drugs and stuff is so stay away. I hope you all get to experience my hometown because if you do you wont ever want to leave.
