those who enjoy small town convenience with all the big city
amenities. At approximately 40,000 in population, Lufkin is the

the Texas Coast and is conveniently equidistant to both providing
the ultimate location for the good life. Located at the junction of
Hwy’s 69 (to Tyler, Beaumont and Port Arthur) and 59 (to Houston,
Longview, and Shreveport) and bisected by El Camino Real “hwy 103”
connecting East Texas to Natchitoches and central Louisiana Lufkin
