The Woodlands EntranceLooking to buy a home in The Woodlands? Just the size of this community is enough to be completely overwhelming. The population of The Woodlandsis already approximately 80,000 and there are still atleast 7,000 more homes to be built.  Where do I start you ask? How about a breakdown of what you will find here to begin.

The Woodlands is a master planned community with everything you need.  Schools, Shopping, Malls, Golf, Parks with Hike and Bike Trails, this list could go on forever.  To start, The Woodlands is set up into Villages. (Large neighborhoods which are broken up into smaller sections) You will find a vast number of homes in every price range. The best thing to do is figure out what the basics are for you wants and needs in a home. Let's break it down.

  • Location-Do you work in The Woodlands or do you work outside of the immediate area.  This will help you decide how close to I-45 you need or want to be.  Front to back it can take 30 minutes driving time.   Fountain at The Woodlands Mall
  • Price Range-As I mentioned, you will find a vast array of prices in The Woodlands. Homes start around $110,000 and go up to Multi-Million. What are your needs? Start with Price Range and work your way down to Bedrooms, Bathrooms, etc.  I recommend make a long laundry list of what you want and then take away as you go.  The broader your search, the more confusing it gets.
  • Schools-If you have school age children you may want to look at the schools. There are numerous schools in The Woodlands.
  • Golf Courses-If you like to Golf, you may want to be closer to one course than another.

The Woodlands is a beautiful place and a wonderful community to call home.  Just drive through and I promise you will be enamored with the trees and scenery.  You will understand why it has been voted the #1 Master Planned Community in Texas for many years. 

These basics will get you started to finding the home of your dreams. Please feel free to contact me for an information packet with more details about The Woodlands.
