Frankston is a small Anderson County town about 30 to 35 minutes from Tyler on TX-155, best known as a gateway to Lake Palestine. In-town homes are attainable, often from the $150,000s, while lakefront and lake-access property runs considerably higher, into the $600,000s and beyond.
Blackburn Crossing Dam and Lake Palestine sit just east of town, making Frankston a natural fit for buyers focused on the water. Away from the lake, the area is wooded rural acreage with a compact Main Street at its center.
Best for: Lake Palestine waterfront and lake-access property and wooded acreage within a half hour of Tyler.
