Tyler serves up one of the Lone Star State's more attractive options for cost-effective living with median housing values ranging from the mid-$200s onwards and renting typically costing approximately two thirds that amount each month respectively - both notably cheaper compared to nearby cities like Longview or Palestine which are situated further down south. Grocery stores similarly come right on par with United States figures thanks largely to local taxes & regulations while sales tax provisionally remains constant at 8%.
