Woodville Texas Home Market

This small community is very popular with retirees for its relaxed rural living. The population is about 2,500 people and is located in Tyler County Texas, along Highway 69 running north and south. Highway 190 runs east and west and is a main thoroughfare to Jasper to the east and the major interstate freeways 59 and 45 to the west.

Home prices tend to be a little above average for such an out of the way small community. This is due to the quaintness of the town and its beautiful east Texas scenery. The rolling hills and tall pine trees attract many retirees from the larger cities to the south. Also, the Alabama Cousuatta Indian Reservation is to the west of the town, making expansion in that direction impossible. This limits the available homes for sale in the most prime areas.

In the country, a few miles from town, a 1500 square foot home with 5 acres will sell in the $75,000 to $125,000 price range. In the city limits this same home will sell for $65,000 to $100,000 price range. Of course, there are $500,000 homes in the area, but this is not the norm.

Woodville is also a good place to raise a family. Its school district is above average in the state and offers a fine education. For higher education, one must attend a college in Beaumont which is approximately 45 miles to the south.

In Conclusion: Woodville Texas is probably one of the most quaint communities in east Texas and is a desirable place to retire to, or to raise a young family. For this reason the resale value of residential property is quite good, even in slower economic times.
