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.
