Discover Butler College: Where Campus Energy Meets Historic Charm

Nestled in the shadow of Tyler Junior College’s iconic spires, Butler College pulses with academic energy and timeless character—a neighborhood where professors live beside students, where historic bungalows mix with modern apartments, and where the buzz of campus life blends with the tranquility of tree-lined streets. This eclectic district attracts ambitious scholars, creative minds, and history lovers who want to be steps from TJC’s cultural offerings while living in homes with authentic Tyler character.

Homes as Diverse as the Community

Butler College features:

  • 1920s Craftsman bungalows with original hardwood floors

  • Post-war cottages converted into student-friendly duplexes

  • Modern apartment lofts for faculty and graduate students

  • Grand historic homes along College Avenue

Campus-Adjacent Highlights:
5-minute walk to TJC’s renowned horticultural gardens
Front-row access to Apache sports games and performing arts
The TJC Arboretum – your backyard nature escape
Wise Auditorium lectures just a short stroll away

Life in Tyler’s Academic Village

Living here means:

Morning: Grabbing coffee at a campus café before class
Afternoon: Studying under century-old oaks in your front yard
Evening: Attending jazz concerts at TJC’s R. Don Cowan Center
Weekends: Browsing the Saturday farmer’s market on campus

Why Butler College Stands Out

  • Only neighborhood integrated with Tyler Junior College

  • Architectural time capsule of Tyler’s educational history

  • Walk Score of 88 – Tyler’s most scholar-friendly streets

  • Thriving rental market for investment properties

For those who want to live where learning happens—surrounded by youthful energy and historic beauty—Butler College offers Tyler’s most intellectually vibrant address.
