The Woodlands Real Estate Blog

THE WOODLANDS, TX - The Woodlands was ranked #1 in the top 25 list of "Best Places to Live Now"" by Houstonia magazine in its June 2013 edition.

The Woodlands Town Center was noted as impressive. ""Twenty-eight thousand acres of sprawling neighborhoods long ago decreed that much of The Woodlands would be unavoidably car-dependent but the Town Center area is pedestrian-friendly, earning it some of the region's best walkability scores. It's a bustle of upscale boutiques, sidewalk cafés, and open plazas, many near a waterway – teeming with air-conditioned water taxis — that's drawn favorable comparisons to the San Antonio River Walk.""

The businesses and the growing residential area in Town Center were mentioned as a plus as well as the 66-acre mixed-use development, Hughes Landing on Lake Woodlands, currently being developed.

Susan Vreeland-Wendt, Director of Marketing was also quoted mentioning the self-sufficiency of this hometown. ""The Woodlands is a complete community where residents can live, work, play, and learn.""
