The piney woods of East Texas and calmness of the countryside are what gives this community its small-town charm. At The Peninsulas, residents can enjoy a variety of local attractions, including nearby golf courses, shopping centers and a wide selection of restaurants to choose from. A short drive away is the quaint, country town of Mount Pleasant, rated one of the 100 best small towns in America, as well as Mt. Vernon, Tyler and Canton. Canton is home to the largest and oldest flea market in the world, making it a place for great finds.
