Well Designed & Family Friendly - 6/7/2006

The Woodlands is a master-planned community that is easy to get around in. In addition, the numerous parks, sidewalks, and community activites make it a very family friendly place to live.

Florida to Texas - 5/29/2006

We're not moving to The Woodlands, Texas out of disatisfaction but out of great anticipation for a quality of life that, otherwise, we'd have to wait five or more years for. We built three homes in two years at the height of the building boom in the fastest growing county (for over a year)in the nation. But visiting family in The Woodlands several times over the past three years made us gradually aware of the advantages of living in an especially well planned community that is not just a dream, but a reality. Whereas now we enjoy a greater cultural blend of people--not to mention beautiful beaches in Florida's Flagler County--The Woodlands offers a population of diverse ages, a greater variety of things to see and do: high quality shopping and dining out of the heat, an escape from touristy disruptions, and big city access by car on excellent highways or by Houston's low-cost Metro. The biggest surprise was the comparative low cost of the top quality home we bought near things we like to do and see--physical exercise, concerts, city art museums, golf, and to satisfy our urge to travel, having a major airline hub to fly in and out of. Wonderful! Here we come!

The Woodlands - 5/19/2006

The Woodlands is a nice place to live, although the very high cost of living is a drag and at times it seems crowded, but at least it is far enough outside of Houston that traffic is not always terrible.

Summers in Houston .... - 4/20/2006

Summers are too hot, too long. Fall and spring are too short. Winter is about right.

A Good place to Live in Houston - 4/18/2006

Lots of trees. Bike paths are everywhere and you don't have to leave the area for shopping. Traffic can be heavy at times, but the entwork of raods provides good mobility witin The Woodlands, even during rush hour. Hardy Toll road provides quick access to Houston Intercontinental airport and downtown with reduced congestion. Safe neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes on the areas many bike paths. Plenty of neighborhood parks. We've lived in four different areas of Houston durign the last 25 years and this planned community of 80,000 people is the best.
