Located just north of Intercontinental Airport up I-45, 27 miles from downtown, The Woodlands is considered one of the nations' first master planned communities. Fifteen to twenty years ago, it was a developing area whose major draw was the natural setting and an escape from the city life. Today, however, The Woodlands is a fully developed community that has all of the conveniences of the city but has kept in touch with nature. With 6000 acres dedicated to green space, it is clear why residents are quick to say the number one thing they love about the area is "the trees".
Market Square and the Woodlands Mall, complete with a water taxi has recently exploded with restaurants, shops, wine bars and other entertainment venues. Large corporations have also opened satellite offices in the area to take advantage of the local amenities and community. And, with over 100+ miles of walking/biking trails, 100+ plus public park areas and the popular Lake Woodlands, it is easy to see why this area is such a draw for families. The Woodlands consistently is rated as one of the top communities to live in the state of Texas.
