The Woodlands enjoys the serenity offered by the greenery of forest
pines and silver lakes. Fifty miles of hike and bike trails are an
amenity that close to 30,000 residents appreciate about the Woodlands.
Residents refer to The Woodlands as the "new home town."
The community sits off 1-45 North, 27 miles north of Houston's downtown
and 16 miles north of Houston Intercontinental Airport. The four villages
of The Woodlands are 20 years old, although new houses are still available.
The Woodlands' villages present a mixture of home styles. Most houses
are brick and are priced from the upper $90,000s to $1 million and
more. Some estate homes sit on one to two acres. Available are golf
course and lake front properties as well as townhomes and patio homes.
Apartments are enjoying a high occupancy rate and rent from $400 to
$1,000. The Hardy Toll Road, stretching from The Woodlands to the
North Loop, provides commuters with comfortable access to downtown
Houston.
