re: Tell me about The Woodlands, tx

Lived there over the summer. Great place to raise a family from what I could tell. Everyone I met there had nothing but good things to say about their neighbors; good communities and whatnot. Lots of parks, >160 miles of paved walkways, a good bit of active people.

In my opinion, it seemed to be lacking a definite culture though. The only time I got a somewhat "local vibe" was eating at Crust off of Gosling(which I highly recommend). Other than that, it felt very...I don't know...forced? It's a young city, and I'm sure it will come into it's own soon enough. The more local restaurants and shops that open up, the better. Also, the first generation of kids raised in The Woodlands should be raising their own kids now. That'll help hopefully.

I'll be working in The Woodlands full-time next year, but I plan on commuting from Midtown. It might just be my age, but I didn't feel like The Woodlands was right for me quite yet. Beautiful area though! If you like good looking houses and expensive cars, you'll have your fill. The locals are extremely nice as well.
