Community
Lakes, traditions and neighbors who show up.
The everyday benefits of living in Country Place, and the events that bring us together all year.
Why people love it here
Neighborhood benefits
Country Place is a quiet stretch of East Texas countryside just outside Tyler. Here is what comes with living here.
Neighborhood lakes
Fish off the docks, paddle at sunrise or walk the shoreline at sunset. The Lakes & Parks Committee looks after stocking, docks and mowing.
Picnic area and parks
Shaded picnic grounds on Three Lakes Road host the Easter egg hunt, spring picnic, Fourth of July and Fall Festival.
Room to breathe
Estate-sized lots, tall trees, rolling hills and quiet country lanes, close to Tyler and Whitehouse.
Clubs and socials
A monthly ladies’ book club, a car club, ladies’ luncheons and plenty of chances to meet the neighbors.
Neighbors who pitch in
Volunteer work days keep the lakes and picnic areas clear of deadfall and brush. Students can earn community service hours.
Easy to stay connected
The private Country Place Facebook group carries day-to-day news and event sign-ups.
All year long
Community traditions
Neighbor volunteers organize these every year. Dates go up on the Events page and in the Facebook group.

Every few months
Country Place Car Club
Laid-back meetups for anyone who drives a classic, a truck or a muscle car, or just likes to drive.
Our common areas
Lakes & Parks
From early-morning fishing off the docks to sunset walks along the shore, the Country Place lakes and common areas are one of the best parts of living here. The Lakes & Parks Committee oversees stocking, docks, mowing and water quality.
