Finally…someone was planning ahead! Since Houston lacks the traditional zoning that gives a city that “warm and fuzzy feeling” the Woodlands decided to make up for it. A perfectly planned community (winning national acclaim among master planned communities) about 35 minutes North of Houston, this is a city you can’t help but love to live in.
The cold concrete ( well, pretty hot in the summer) and overbearing skyscrapers of Houston are missing from this picturesque, forested oasis. Lush green trees, lakes, and densely wooded areas make the woodlands well…the Woodlands. Your apartment, townhome or house has a 6,000 acre backyard reserved for "green" space by the city ... so whether you plan on staying for a year or ten, your new home will have the same, spacious backyard today and for years to come.
Enjoy first class outdoor shopping and dining in the Town Center as several of Houston’s top restaurants have opened second locations in the Woodlands. Some Woodlands apartments are walking distance to these great restaurants: taste some South American cuisine at its finest at Americas (hello, tres leches cake), or a gigantic salad at Black Walnut Café. Not a shopper? Golf courses are aplenty up here.
Although there is no shortage of apartments and condos in the Woodlands, single family homes are the predominant housing option (McMansion abound) With great schools, lower housing costs, and beautiful scenery who wouldn’t want to settle down here?
