CPCA Lakes & Parks Update
Here are the spring projects planned for our lakes and parks:
CP Real Estate Sales for 2024
Last year’s residential sales here in Country Place were in line with prior years in terms of numbers, but prices have begun to moderate. Interest rates remained relativity high, fluctuating between 6.25 and 7% and affecting home affordability. (You can see more detail about the homes that sold here.) One address that appears twice on […]
The Re-Paving Process
Smith County has begun the repaving process in Country Place and there’s been some confusion about the steps involved. I spoke to Charles Kirby, the engineer in charge of the project, who explained that the preparation for repaving involves several steps: We will have some inconvenience for a while (it’s a long process), but the […]

Country Place Community Association: 2024 Recap
Dear Homeowners, The CPCA Board is committed to maintaining the beauty and functionality of our neighborhood. This includes regular landscaping, repairs to entrance signs, festive holiday decorations, and maintenance of sprinkler systems and lighting. We also manage monthly water and electricity bills. In 2023, we upgraded the entrances with new wiring and conduit to enhance […]
New Pavement for Country Place Coming
Earlier this year, we showed a home for sale here in Country Place. The buyers liked the home, but they were turned off by the condition of the roads here. As realtors, Andrea and I are always sensitive to buyers’ negative impressions, so we are glad to report that the re-paving of Country Place county […]
More Directory Changes Coming
In putting together the CPCA Directory, we always have to keep an eye on last-minute changes in order to publish the most accurate and up-to-date information. A few weeks ago there were zero homes on the market in our neighborhood; now there are five properties for sale in Country Place, ranging in price from $450,000 […]

CPCA Dues
For .89¢ a day, I get to fish the lakes with our sons and grandson, walk the trails on association property, and attend all the functions, both the traditional and additional ones Valencia has added to the mix. I have applauded developer Larry Branch for creating this oasis of tranquility we call Country Place, but […]
Wet Summer = Full Lakes
Tyler just finished its wettest July in years. The average rainfall for July is 2.10″. As of yesterday we had recorded 5.95″. Our lakes are all overflowing…a rarity for August 1st. The fish are happy…and so are the fishermen. 2.10 12.73 5.95
Trash Can Engineering
I’d like to recognize our neighbor, Walt Gallaway, for his engineering skills. Using only black gaffer’s tape and steel bolts, he has managed to keep his Live Oak Waste receptacle in service even after a mortal wound that split the container halfway down its side. Kudos, Mr Gallaway!
Protesting Your Property Taxes, 2024
We have helped several neighbors gather info in preparation for protesting their property taxes, which jumped considerably for many of us. Country Place published sales of eight homes in 2023 (we don’t have access to private sales). You can click the link below to see details of these sales, which you will need to compare […]
