Everyone is correct about the "hills" yes, the hill country. Very dry and of course hot as most of Texas is, but beautiful in its' own way. But for vegatation and trees and rolling hills, not even close to mountains, around Tyler is really beautiful. In the next few weeks the azaleas and dogwoods and tullips and others will be in bloom, the the roses in May and throughout the summer and fall. Roses mostly in the largest municipal rose garden in America. But the Azalea Trails which are driving trails, of maybe 10 miles in length, are really beautiful and attract thousands from all over especially by the bus loads from the DFW area. Oh, and many many nearby man-made lakes to enjoy as well as golf everywhere. A nice area.

If you need more information about jobs, homes, attitudes, either look at my many posts or email me directly, a former real estate broker background, nothing to be gained, as well as someone who has lived in Houston for 20 years and has a comparison of the amenities the area has to offer. Good luck

I would say Northern Va and East Texas would be the most similar topographically. Nowhere near the hills that VA has though. Northern VA doesnt have as many oak trees as East Texas either. The East Texas region doesnt have the poplars found in the far Southeast and Mid Atlantic either. And of course the Upper South has more Appalachian/Mountaineer influence whereas Texas is cowboy influenced. But all in all, VA and East Texas will share more similarities (aside from the large hills) than does any other area of TX.
