Country Place Estate: 19710 Copperoaks Drive
Our neighborhood, Country Place, lies on the south end of 75703. Although development began in 1978, the subdivision still boasts many of its original trees. We recently listed one of the larger homes in the neighborhood, sitting on more than four acres.

Architectural Style-Melding
Architectural styles come-and-go. The American-ranch popular in the decades after WWII has given way to the Neo-Eclectic, often a mish-mash of earlier popular styles. Here in Tyler, we see neighborhoods like Charleston Park which emulate the pre-WWII era (Azalea District) with styles like Neo-Classic, Craftsman and Victorian.
