About the community
A residential airpark and fly-in community on Lake Palestine, Texas
Aero Estates is a residential airpark about three miles northeast of Frankston, Texas. Homes connect by taxiway to T25, a lighted 3,100 ft turf runway, so owners keep their aircraft in a hangar at the house and fly from home. It is a true fly-in community in East Texas, with its own public-use seaplane base on Lake Palestine.
Hangar homes and airpark lots
Homes here are built with room for a hangar, and airpark lots come up for sale from time to time. Under the recorded covenants, at least one buyer must hold a valid FAA certificate.
Lake Palestine living
Lake Palestine covers about 25,000 acres, with fishing and boating close to the runway. Owners share the boat ramp, docks and waterfront park.
Close to Tyler
Aero Estates is about 35 minutes from Tyler and roughly two hours from Dallas by car.
