I own property on Aero Estates Airpark.  I have an RV-6, hangar, 

shop and house getting started.  I know everything you could 

possibly need to know about the place having done extensive research 

before purchasing.  By the way there are a few lots 

available.  Contact me off list if you wish or simply just call me 

at 903-876-5511



Thanks

For general information purposes, could you tell the rest of us a 

little about the Airpark and why you decided to buy there.  I have 

always wondered about living on an Airpark.  Is it worth it, money, 

time, convenience, inconvenience etc?



Now that the RVs just about build themselves we need something to 

read about on the list...just kidding...well sort of.

Hi Bob and others,



We moved to Texas from Oregon to find warmer weather.  We looked in Nevada,

Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.  We found many airparks and looked at many

of them in person.  Some of those we looked at were not areas where there

were trees and green grass.  Others were in either high terrain or flat out

hot desert.  We were looking for our cake and eat it too.  Also some were

pretty formal living.  Those were beautiful, but very formal.  Unfortunately

the price reflected this as well.  We are not rich folk and could not afford

200K for a lot in an air park.



Aero Estates is in East Texas.  We are about 120 miles east of Dallas and

about 25 miles south of Tyler.  Tyler has just about everything a person

could want at over 100,000 people population.  East Texas is green and has

rolling terrain with lots of greenery.  As a bonus, the airpark is on the

south end of Lake Palestine a 21 square mile lake containing excellent

fishing, water skiing, and other water sports.



The airpark is very informal with a 3000 foot grass runway and pilot

controlled lights will be installed later this month.  The roads are not

asphalt but are mostly a gravel type base.  All of the taxiways are grass

and get cut every other week.  Lots when we purchased 1 1/2 year ago were

from 14K to 21K for 1/2 acre.  We have a private boat dock and launching

with an associated picnic area.  Currently the dues are only $15 per month

or $150 per year.  I see this going up some but not very much.



East Texas and specifically the Frankston area is a much more moderate

climate in the summer months than further south.  This was a big plus to us

as well as the lake.  The CC&R's are in place but are not too restrictive;

possibly not restrictive enough.  There are still lots available but are

beginning to sell pretty fast.  I own lots 67 & 68 down by the lake.  You

can see all of this on the website at:

www.aeroestatesairpark.com



Convenience?  Oh yeah, I have done more casual flying since moving here than

ever before.  We fly out almost every weekend with others from here and

around to barbeques and such.



Inconvenience?  I work from home so don't go to town much.  If you drive in

for work, Tyler is 25 miles away.  We do not live in town.  I like that, but

others may not.



Bottom line is it is affordable, enjoyable, and in a climate friendly area.

If anyone has specific questions feel free to contact me off list or by

phone.  If you just want to fly in and fish the lake you can tie down at my

hangar as my guest.



I just joined Chapter 1219 in Lufkin, Texas and look forward to that as

well.
