middle cl-ss burb that thinks a leased bmw 3 series, and a fat mortgage on a 300k tract home makes you rich.
the woodlands is the land of the 80k a year millionaire.
planned community north of houston with strict homeowner guidelines -ssuring your neighbor won’t paint their home purple, or pink, or some other whacko color. the residents pay lots of taxes to ensure it stays nice… with trees. houston is one of the ugliest cities in america. the woodlands is where those who care … and can… escape from houston. lots of money but lots of driven people who work hard to earn their lifestyles. ghetto? not even close. kids everywhere, upscale retail, fine dining, excellent public school system and a great selection of private schools from which to choose. what’s not to like?
the woodlands – planned community north of houston with strict homeowner guidelines.
the woodlands is a census-designated place and master-planned community located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of houston within montgomery county, texas. as of the 2000 census, the cdp had a total population of 55,649.located about 30 miles north of downtown houston, the woodlands is famous, as its name suggests, for incorporating the piney woods surrounding it with urban and suburban development. it was named one of the best master-planned communities in the country, and is one of the fastest-growing communities in texas. the woodlands is home to the woodlands town center improvement distrct, a local governmental agency created by the texas legislature, the woodlands waterway, the 4 aaa diamond woodlands waterway marriott hotel and convention center, the cynthia woods mitch-ll pavilion, and the woodlands country club, the only golf club in the nation to have six world-cl-ss golf courses. almost all of the community is located in the city of houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (etj) with a small portion lies in the corporate limits of shenandoah.the woodlands was founded by george p. mitch-ll in 1974, who changed ownership of the woodlands in the 1990’s to a joint partnership between morgan stanley and crescent real estate equities. in january of 2004, crescent sold their interest in the woodlands to the rouse company, a development company familiar with master-planned communities. in 2004, the rouse company was sold to general growth properties inc., another shopping mall developer.the woodlands is growing up as a formidable city, as many companies are moving to the woodlands, such as anadarko, hewitt -ssociates, and chicago bridge & iron. the woodlands is located in the conroe independent school district, with the woodlands high school being the primary feeder. construction on the woodlands college park high school began in early 2004 and is scheduled to open in 2005. the woodlands town center area includes shopping and eating facilities, plus a waterway reminiscent of san antonio’s riverwalk. under construction in the area are more upscale retail and restaurants, as well as several urban residential developments.
the woodlands is better then you!
the least ghetto town in the world, the woodlands is home to the #1 sn-bbiest high school in the united states, as named by larry king himself. despised throughout texas for our superiority in everything except academics because the student population is mostly stoned off of their -ss (all the time).
you know you live in the woodlands when you:

don’t care about seeing porche’s anymore

drop a quarter and don’t bother picking it up

complain about getting an ’04 bmw instead of the ’05 benz that you wanted.
i have read almost all of the posts about this place where i have lived my entire life. so here are some corrections to your “knowledge” about my home:
1. i’m not blond haired and blue eyed, and neither is at least 60% of the girls her.
2. we are not all stoned, all the time. just because we have money doesn’t mean we use drugs, although some do.
3. we have amazing achievements academically, people need to stop saying otherwise.
4. most teenagers do not have brand new bmws like some think, just because our parents do doesn’t mean they will waste it on us.
5. car accidents and deaths are not the norm, and it is very sad when that occurs.
6. very few families own two houses. once again, just because we have money doesn’t mean we just throw it around without even considering it!!!!!!
7. people don’t always cheat on there boyfriend/girlfriend and spread rumors and secrets.
8. most high schoolers are fairly nice and hard working.
those are just a few responses to the many people who hate the woodlands for no reason. i actually do want to leave this place once i graduate high school, but i don’t hate it like people who don’t know what they are talking about seem to.
out of towner:”everyone student in the woodlands high school drives bmws”
student: “um… i have a ’97 honda civic, that i saved up to buy.”
out of towner: “why? you live in the woodlands.”
student: ” that doesn’t mean i get everything i want!!!”
^^i don’t know what they’re talking about, but the woodlands is anything but ghetto. everyone here is a white abercrombie & fitch/hollister clone who drives a bmw and carries a dooney & bourke bag. the girls all look the exact same. there is no origionality, individuality, or culture here at all. get me out now.
theres nothing to do in the woodlands, so lets go roll in oak ridge.
