- Like an artist's palette, The Woodlands offers a beautiful montage of Houston living at its best. Magnificent homes, winding nature trails, parks, shops and places of worship are carefully arranged in this lively and colorful panorama. In addition to being a scenic masterpiece, the native forests nurture higher values than those that are purely tangible. It's the intangibles like human services, religious diversity, community spirit, healthcare and lifelong learning that are the cornerstones of community building. Those have been the guiding principles of The Woodlands since its founding more than 36 years ago.
Welcome to The Woodlands' new video, produced by The Woodlands Development Company. For more information visit www.thewoodlands.com or The Woodlands Homefinder Center, 2000 Woodlands Parkway, The Woodlands, TX 77380.
The Woodlands is an unincorporated area operating independently of city government under the umbrella of The Woodlands Township. The Woodlands Township provides municipal-type services such as:
Police and fire protection and emergency services
Park, pathway and streetscape maintenance
Coordination of one of the nation's most successful Neighborhood Watch programs
Enforcement of the community's covenants and architectural controls
The funds necessary to provide these services come from taxes charged to residents according to the area in which they live and the value of their home. There are also associations and Residential Design Review Committees for each village that promote village events and maintain the integrity of homes and neighborhoods.

I live in The Woodlands, however I am not rich. I grew up in San Antonio, I've lived in Houston and other states as well Denver, Colorado and in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This area is cool, you do have those that feel entitled, etc... teenager's from TWHS constantly buying pregnancy test, etc. I think the pros out weigh the cons tho...it's nice & quiet, good schools Conroe ISD etc...the traffic however can be a nightmare especially on Woodlands, Parkway & Rayford Rd., It have had a lot of robberies here though so crime does happen here just like any other area just not as often. People here drive fast, teenager's shoot past you in BMW's & Mustangs. It is a lot to do for families & it's a good place to raise a family, plenty of up scale restaurants, parks, bike & walking trails, plenty of places to shop & a alright night life, (go to Houston for the club scene LOL) they have park & ride busses that go to Houston, water trollies, a regular trolley, the mall, a college, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion that have concerts and other events like every other week, the population is about 116,000 it's about the size of College Station or Tyler,Texas. I don't see a lot of diversity from my perspective out in public, however there are a lot of people were I live from other places, California, Africa, India, etc...my neighbors are cool & friendly; with the exception of one snob. The area is trendy, but can be closed minded at times, this is Montgomery County & it is a conservative county which doesn't bother me as all I do is work, come home and just live my life & have fun & I have no problems here. Most people I've met that live here aren't originally from here. I've came across very few people that were born & raised here; this is just my observation.
i miss houston :( lived there from 93 to 2000 and went back for the first time in 2014 and it has changed soo much.
moving form the Bay Area to the woodlands. Looking forward to it.
People on these comments seem to be really jealous of The Woodlands. So that marks it high on my list of places to live.
+Andrew Stavola I don't know your style or anything brah but htis place is superficial as fuck. Ideal place for some retired baby boomer who has a FUCK ton of money but that's about it imo.
+David Miles I agree 100% and I also dig your death grips pic
Philip S You are the one who is ignorant buddy. SE Texas is like that I will agree to an extent but there's a reason many people refer to the woodlands as "the bubble". It's a nice slice of rich white america right outside of Houston. "Six shooter junction" isn't going to have 7 professionally designed top rated golf courses in it's boundaries. Not to mention 2 nationally renowned high schools. I really could go on and on. The woodlands has its pros and cons just like any other place, but personally for me I think it's highly toxic. And I've lived here my whole life.
KING TROLL Strong troll attempt.
King Troll? My house was built in the 1920's and I bought it for $210,000 in 2002. It's now worth $590,000+
We are selling moving to The Woodlands and paying cash for our house. Do you not understand real estate?
Thanks!! I'm moving there now
lovely place
Beautiful place 🌹 homes range from $300 / millions. ( high taxes) but you have everything c,lose ‼️ left there years ago for land & build our own home 😍 retired to tomball. Close enough ( 30 min drive) to enjoy mall & eating 🌹🌹 cheaper taxes here woodlands so nice. Nice people too 💕💕👍🏻
I don't live here but it looks amazing! I just found an incredible home by D.R. Horton in Klein Tx, I loved this though.
Definitely on my short list of retirement locations. Clear Lake City is going downhill fast (because it's been part of Houston for about 40 years).
I LOVE The Woodlands Mall! I go there ALL the time!
+Minty AGstudios
Hi! Where is it? which direction from Houston?
+Михаил Коваленко north houston
+Михаил Коваленко 20-30 min north of houston
go back to The Mall little girl
Indeed the Woodlands is a beautiful place to live. It is to H O U S T O N what Calabasis is to Los Angeles without the mountains. However, let's not get carried away, it is still a Master-planned community of H O U S T O N. When the narrator says 30 Minutes to H O U S T O N , she's speaking of Downtown. Furthermore, River Oaks is the Beverly Hills of H O U S T O N and is more prestiegeous with Bigger- Grander-Palaces with a Rodeo Drive called Highland Village with the Palm trees and all.Tourist are amazed to see what a glorious majestic city this is, and that we are not riding on horses.Instead, we are the 4th largest city,Energy Capital of the the world, Medical Capital of the world, and Pioneers of Space exploration . These planners has a love for California because the Houston area has a Bellaire like LA's Bel-Air and a Passadena, not to mention that the H O U S T O N skyline is set up and positioned like LA's with multiple skylines across the city, (9) in total including Uptown Houston which is a spin off of Century City LA, all Without Mountains. GOOGLE image will prove everything I've said.In Conclusion, it explains why Californians New Yorkers and Chicagoans, are moving to H O U S T O N in droves. They can truly live as KINGS and Queens with low cost living.
BKMN 101 - I agree with everything you stated here.
I was born and raised in L.A. and you are exactly right. I now live just across the border in Louisiana, my best friend and I go to Houston every chance we get. I absolutely love it there. It has that big city energy and vibe that I love and the people are great.
This is facts...I agree with you 💯 percent.
Woodlands is a great place. Beautiful girls especially foreign ones. And a fair amount of stuff to do.
The Woodlands is indeed GREAT... if you have $$$
Leslie Kenefic not really I’m a single mom with not a lot of money at all and I live here. It’s nice but not all it’s cracked up to be. There’s a shit load of drugs. However it’s still nice if you stay away from the bullshit and stuck up rich people.
@@Taty14002 -u must living in the shit area of Woodland!
I love it here and I am far from a rich snob.
Beware of flood damage and check elevation height as well as foundation. Also traffic sucks. I'm go live in the backwoods of Louisiana, I'm tired of being a city boy.
Looks very Stepford
Little know fact: The Woodlands was founded by George Mitchell, the "Father of Fracking". Regarding diversity, please read the wiki for demographics. In my neighborhood there are 2 mixed-race couples ( 1 AA/Caucasian, 1 Hispanic/Caucasian) & 2 or more Lesbian/Gay couples. However, it is still Texas so there are some who might find the politics a bit distressing (Tea Party enclave). Most of the scientists living here work for the fossil fuel industry so while they may be objective in other areas when it comes to fracking, oil shale, or even climate change they're apt to defend their livelihood to the exclusion of evidence to the contrary.
I been living in Houston for all my life and the hardy fucking toll road
God damn theirs a lot of traffic lmfaoo
The woodlands and beautiful I only live like 10 mintues away from it I live in spring they all look the same
The woodlands did they include the traffic is real badd also on the weekends and weekdays too🤐🤐
Facts...I live directly off of Research Forest.
I live here its like living in a bubble.
The only thing nice about it is that all the businesses are hidden back in the trees so the roads are not ugly. But the place is way too crowded, too much traffic, very expensive housing, and the place is full of snobby, people who look down on others because of the way they dress or the car they drive. It does beat living in Houston, however. That place is unlivable today.
That thing at the :52 Mark creeps me out.
Pinecone
Very nice area around Houston, too far for me to commute though 👍
Best place is sunnyside or southpark
I think there might be too much water
so, does the cost of living in woodlands is high? if its low, i would like to stay here.
+Hanan Abdul its pretty high life living but im sure you can find something
Oh..i see..how much the estimated costs living..i mean how much should i hve living here?
+Hanan Abdul there's high end living and also lower end living too, theree's a nice spectrum. Depends on what your budget is.
The cost of housing is unaffordable.
How many miles is from up town Houston city,
14k, its really dallas right?
27
27, well dats over priced Mon Nigga
Not if you can live, work AND play there, my friend.
disagree, Jared should speak in a nordic country, so they learn something
happy I moved away
Iv never bin but I'm sure its a lot like Irvine CALIFORNIA right?
+Eddie Da Silva lol california is terrible
I’m from San Diego and I haven’t seen so many luxury cars at once since I lived in California.
flood-prone area??
Sanghee Ozuna Oh yeah.
Sanghee Ozuna it definitely looks like a fun flood zone. My first thought.
Like Houston, some parts flooded during Harvey and other didn't. And when the next subdivision goes in, that changes things in the immediate area. I've lived in the same home in Houston for nearly 30 years and the water has never been over the curb, even when Harvey dumped 15" of rain on us in 3 1/2 hours.
I live here and the area around Hughes Landing definitely flooded so yeah as it's all flat except the Cynthia Woods Pavilion set up on a hill.
Years ago and I do mean many years ago when I come out with suburban living okay everyone keep up with the Joneses that was your lifestyle not me I never did like the name John so therefore I never did fit in with any of the neighbors I never would go to their two parties I never would go to the luncheon I just would not participate at all I would say hi and that would be about it and I'll go home and relax and I'll have my Margaritas in the hell with them cuz I could care less about the clubs they had and most of the people that plastic has put them in the streets so you keep living your life that way. Lights camera action
I live here, and I do have to say it does have a lot of pretentious pricks. but not everyone is a snob. Plus this video made it seem nicer than it really is, it's really not all that great.
Lol why is everyone hating?? I've lived in the woodlands all my life and tbh there is some neighborhoods that a lot of rich people live in but I've never even met any rich people so...
they hate because they can't afford it.
No, they hate it because the Houston area sucks, regardless of size of the house.
I live there
If I could afford a TracFone in The woodlands that's why they are tract homes just more modified I would buy me some land and I have a custom home built cuz I know it's going to last many lifetimes. You buy your cookie cutter house is okay I don't care live in them. Lights camera action
It has been so wonderful living here. Until the Howard Hughes Corp bought it and now it's turning into a full paved concrete city. It's such a shame to see all of the trees being cut down. I hate it. I miss the quieter, cleaner, nicer literal "wood lands".
Is this place diverse ??
i know right lol!!
Yes trust me it is lol
yeah I come here although we are in Texas the great majority of people are white but you do see a lot of Mexicans and black people. the video showed a lot of very rich places but where my home is (I do not actually live here, it is just where my family comes for vacations). It is really nice there is a golf course cvs, randalls, of course starbucks like 3 minutes away walking. What i am trying to say is that it si in deed diverse all kinds of people, churches, restaurants, etc. If your considering working in Houston and you have a family, The Woodlands is perfect because it is really close to downtown, plus it is a really family friendly environment. Now if you are working in Houston and you do not have a family just rent a flat in the area; it is closer and more convenient and also much cheaper. In general it is a really nice place you should totally consider it.
Houston doesn't have a white majority. Well, the white and hispanic population are about even, with hispanic being the highest. Is that what you wanted to know? And over 90 languages are spoken here. There's always something to do, and it's so affordable to live here that you will have means to enjoy yourself on a pretty fair budget. Not to mention there's also always free events going on.
bonesey goldflaber Wow you're a troll and probably not even a Houstonian. The facts do not agree with you - not Rice University, not Forbes, and not any other reputable source. And idk what you are trying to imply by saying 'nigs' to refer to black people, but black people live and work in every area and aspect of this city.
Nah y’all need to leave shits getting to crowded out here
This is a great area to live. It is very expensive and if you are looking for diversity it does not exist here. This city is about 90% White, the African American, Hispanic and Asian populations are very small. The only time you will see diversity is at the shops, cafes and business firms. Minorities live mostly in the nearby less expensive but still prestigous subdivisions along FM 1960/Louetta Rd in subdivisions that are diversed
spikey2 You are soooooo wrong, the Mexican population in The Woodlands is booming only these Mexicans aren’t the kind that serve you at a restaurant instead they own them. The Woodlands has a mix of cultures and nationalities but you blanket them by calling them all white. Who’s the racist now?
Deano Zazo census data says its 88% white and only 12% hispanic so your wrong
+John Lawry umm no dude u gotta live in the woodlands to actually see it ..there are a ton
Yeppers, that's not 5th ward.
Where is “Woodlands, Texas”?
It’s THE WOODLANDS, Texas.
You can’t even ADVERTISE correctly!
Don't move here unless you like snobby rich people 😒
RaG3Nova First of all my family is not snobby and we are regular people like anyone else and manny people here aren’t even snobby
I live here & I'm far from snobby.
Nahh 3rd ward the best place to live at
Lol best place to get robbed
Well , 3rd ward is not a communist neighborhood , the Woodlands is a communist hood , I'm not saying the people living there are , the people in charge of that Aria have the people live like they are
yup totally under water during harvey thats where I want to live, place sucks
Your video showed very little diversity.
So? It's mostly white people there... That's like going to Africa and throwing in white people into the picture that don't exist. This is a fair representation of the city. And it's better less diverse anyway.
Chase Olvera oh sorry I'm used to it... we talk like that everyday so it comes natural to me
Jonathan W Um NO. It isn't mostly white people here. We are second to hispanics. The commenter is right; this is a pretty crappy video. They can find a better one in my Texas playlist.
Emplz so u mean to tell me there's more Hispanic people than white people in Texas?
LOL. I tried to reply back to this idiot, but my phone wouldn't allow me to post the link. Here's a CENSUS STATISTIC showing that The Woodlands is 88% white race.
Click here: suburbanstats.org/population/texas/how-many-people-live-in-the-woodlands
The woodlands don't look like this anymore. It's over crowded, trashy and full of crime.
The principle is excellent, but going by this promo it seems a bit sterile to my taste....everything's a bit too "perfect" giving the undertone of an excessively un-organic evolution, which creates a kind of [unwanted to me] tension; to be blunt, like a perfect house maintained by a seriously anal housekeeper.
Certainly moving well in the direction of sprawl-done-right, though, and certainly my first choice if I were to move to Houston. Also, they need to use another narrator. The woman's voice is even more manicured than the development. Hard to listen to without cringing :)
Eh, it does has its downsides, no doubt about that.
But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
It ain't much like other places, but it is home.
ForlanceAbice Far better than most places of course. Just think it could be improved further.
its nice for a family but looks EXPENSIVE, hows the welfare status there for a POOR white family?
Agree her voice sounds like I should be entering my credit card information for another five minutes...LOL
I'm glad I wasn't the only one they are clearly marketing to only white people over a certain income level.
Fat Lip they dont accept poor people they would bring crimes and ruin the place...

I live in The Woodlands (relocated down here from DC two years ago) and I'm counting the days till I leave (4 more and a wake-up!). Here are my thoughts on Houston and the surrounding area. Houston is a fourth-rate city set in what is essentially a third-world country (and to all those living in third-world countries, please accept my apologies for comparing your countries with the likes of Tex-ass. No insult was intended). I've lived in Washington DC, Rome, Paris and Manila and in a lot of other off-the-beaten path places (anyone ever live in Casper, Wyoming, or Cagayan De Oro, Philippines?), so I've got a pretty good idea of what constitutes a "livable" city and Houston doesn't even begin to meet the minimum criteria. Firstly, there's the weather. Its brutally hot from May to November. In fact, absent an asbestos wardrobe, Houston is so hot 6 months out of the year that you won't want to go anywhere during those months even if you did find something worth doing, which there isn't. And forget those thoughts about adding a pool to your backyard to ease the heat's discomfort. Adding a pool won't mitigate the humidity or lessen the discomfort of breathing water. Then there are the knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who think being able to open-carry while chugging a beer and slaloming down the road at 110mph are the best things imaginable. Forget about art, culture, literature, sophistication and all that panzy-assed, panty-waist, East Coast sissy-stuff. Houston is all about guns and beer and monster trucks (all of which are clinically recognized psychological coping mechanisms used by the sexually insecure and mentally infirm to compensate for their sexual inadequacies and gross ignorance). And did I mention the complete absence of civilized refinement and culture? In short, Houston and its environs are the turgid, pestilential backwater TS Elliot tried to warn us about in his seminal “The Wasteland". Anthropologists have discovered isolated tribes in the Amazon River basin whose sense of culture and art both quantitatively and qualitatively surpasses those of Houston, which in reality isn't saying very much, pestilential latrine that Houston is. So yeah, I'm bagging on Houston and its neighborhoods because it sucks and hurls, in that order. After two years in this God-forsaken hell-hole, I'm literally counting the days and minutes until my resurrection and return to civilization (5 days, 9 hours and 14 minutes). To give you an idea of just how much Houston sucks, I watched a youtube video the other day of some guy talking up Houston's better points (which, as far as I can tell, is that the city isn't the complete anus of all human existence, but its as close as I've ever come to it). Two of the things he talked up were the under-ground shopping mall and the shipping channel. Well my friend, if you're comparing an air-conditioned hole in the ground and a water-filled ditch to Capitol Hill, Notre Dame, the Trevi Fountain, the Eiffel Tower, Westminster Abbey or Barcelona’s Gotic Quarter, then you need to crawl out from under the rock you're living under and see some of the world.
What do you love the most about Houston?
I’ll definitely prefer to live in Houston while you freeze your ass in Wyoming and/or DC. I don’t think Houston will miss you. JS 😊
Leaving.
They have things called long-trousers, coats and central heating. And yeah, I'm all broken up that Houston doesn't miss me...as if I give a shit.
Washington D.C.? Crime ridden Washington? The city that has the most corrupt people in the country? Good riddance you east coast bias loud mouth. I'll take Texas hospitality over those snobs any day.
Hell no
