Jacksonville is located about 30 miles south of Tyler and offers some of the most affordable housing in the East Texas region. The town has a genuine small-city feel - big enough to have its own shopping, dining, healthcare, and cultural offerings, but small enough that the community atmosphere is real and welcoming.
