Located southeast of Tyler along Highway 110, Whitehouse is a vibrant, growing community of over 8,000 residents that offers the best of both worlds: small-town living with easy access to Tyler’s jobs and amenities.
The town has seen significant growth in recent years, with new subdivisions offering a variety of home styles and sizes. Most Whitehouse homes are priced from $200,000 to $800,000, though properties with acreage can reach higher. The Whitehouse Independent School District is highly regarded and is a primary draw for families.
Whitehouse has a charming downtown with essentials - banks, grocery stores, restaurants - and the annual YesterYear celebration each June reflects the community’s pride in its heritage. The town’s name reportedly comes from a whitewashed building near the railroad tracks that once served as a combination school, church, and meeting hall.
Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East are just a few miles east of town, giving residents easy access to fishing, boating, and waterfront recreation. For buyers who want a family-oriented community with room to grow, good schools, and lake access - all within a 15-minute drive to Tyler - Whitehouse is hard to beat.
Best for: Families, lake-lifestyle seekers, buyers wanting new construction in a growing community.
