Tyler is known nationwide as the Rose Capital of America, home to the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, the country's largest municipal rose garden at 14 acres with more than 38,000 bushes, and to the Texas Rose Festival every October. Away from downtown and the rose garden, the Historic Azalea District carries roughly 950 homes built mostly in the 1930s during the East Texas oil boom, part of a citywide housing stock with a median year built of 1978 and 55 percent owner occupancy. Tyler is the county seat of Smith County and our first Texas market, about 97 miles from our Bossier City office, the closer of our two offices to this area, so plan on that drive time when you book a free in home estimate. Between the older Azalea homes and the newer subdivisions built up around the rose garden, projects here range from a straight tub to shower swap to a full accessible remodel. Just north of the city, Tyler State Park and its spring fed lake draw a steady stream of weekend visitors, and many of the homes ringing nearby Lake Tyler were built as smaller getaway houses with a single compact bath, the layout a walk in shower or accessible remodel suits best.
Census figures put the median Tyler home at about 48 years old, built around 1978. There are roughly 45,461 housing units here with a median value near $216,400. Most of Tyler went up in the postwar decades. The structure on these homes is usually sound, but venting, flashing, and insulation details are dated enough to be worth revisiting while the accessible showers work is already open and the access is already paid for. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Tyler sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. By housing count Tyler is one of the larger markets we cover, with enough variation street to street that two homes a mile apart can need genuinely different work, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map. It is the kind of local detail that changes how a accessible showers project should be planned. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
