Last week, Dave Perry-Miller high-rise expert Sharon Quist and I bombed over to Tyler to view the Stretford high-rise. Yes, a 14-story residential high-rise … in Tyler! Who’d a thunk?
Tyler’s been on the map for retirees for quite a while. It was named the first certified retirement city in Texas by the East Texas Council of Governments. It was ranked 16th in the US for cost of living in the 1999 edition of the “Places Rated Almanac” by David Savageau. It’s also equidistant to Dallas and Shreveport depending on your need to give money to Neimans or the roulette wheel.
