Emerald Bay, TX

Emerald Bay is a peaceful, gated community set along a scenic peninsula on the eastern shore of Lake Palestine. Located just outside Bullard in Smith County, it offers a relaxed lake lifestyle surrounded by tall East Texas pines and quiet residential lanes. The neighborhood is home to around a thousand residents and functions as a private enclave, giving the area a well-kept, secure atmosphere with its own guarded entrance, private roads, and direct water access.

Recreation is a major draw here, especially for golfers and boaters. The Emerald Bay Club anchors the neighborhood with an 18-hole championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, and a private marina for heading out on the water. It offers quiet lakeside living with great convenience, sitting only minutes from local spots in Bullard and about 15 miles south of Tyler's major hospitals, shopping centers, and restaurants.
