The Woodlands

What makes The Woodlands so special? Without a doubt, it is a city among the trees. The Woodlands is exactly what the name implies; a 28,000 acre heavily wooded forest master planned community, just 40 minutes from downtown Houston. This community is made up of more than 6,000 acres of parks, golf courses, and an abundance of green spaces.

The Woodlands also features an array of villages, (subdivisions) with their own shopping centers, parks, excellent schools, churches, hike and bike trails, and some with their own golf courses. The Woodlands Town Center is a community within itself with beautiful landscaped waterway, world class shopping, and dining, a spirited schedule of events, and one of the foremost outdoor performance centers in the US.

The Woodlands has grown into an economic powerhouse; home to nearly 100,000 residents and 1,650 businesses and corporations. It is also a great place to live with top-rated public schools, a community college, and a University Center offering degrees from six major Texas Universities, along with one of the largest selections of new homes in the Houston area. New home builders are constructing affordable homes in all price ranges from Town Homes, Condos, Single Family, to luxurious custom estates; your family should have many options in personal taste and price range.

The Woodlands is rapidly becoming a hot travel destination too. “The Woodlands has become a destination point for meetings, shopping, dining, entertainment and relaxation for Texas and Mexico, Latin America, and beyond.” Per, Nelda Blair, chair of The Woodlands Convention & Visitors Bureau.
