Seeking opinion on a Woodlands Home (Houston, The Woodlands: homes, neighborhood, good schools)

[hereticiam]

I find woodlands to be a confusing place to evaluate.
I use Zillow for searches and woodlands show homes in Conroe, woodlands, and spring.
I read in this forum that homes in Montgomery county may be better.
If we want to live in Woodland is a home in woodland address the way to go?

Is this home above in a good location from security, community, shopping, and commute perspectives?
Another other suggestion to understand where to live in the woodlands would be great.

Good location (not in Harris county)
Good schools (The Woodlands feeder pattern)
Good size lot (already have a pool)
Decent tax rate (2.2 overall)
Great community (Haters going to hate)
I would think you may have some wiggle room on the price considering the interest rates, but overall it a good find.
Great security presence from the township sheriff
Commuting into the city wouldn't be ideal, but I refuse to allow my sanity be dictated by the proximity of my job.YOLO

The last price cut was on 10/18 so we are hoping for a price cut. Even the current price would have been hard to imagine 6 months ago. Happy to see the housing market slow down a little.

thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, no way you were getting that price 6 months ago. I really like the tax rate considering all that you're getting in that area

When our kids are done with school, We're looking at relocating to Woodlands/Conroe (assuming we're still stuck in the Houston area).

If you are looking at homes located in zip codes 77380, 77381, or 77382, you are almost assuredly looking at homes within the confines of the Montgomery County portion of The Woodlands Township, regardless of whether the listed address says ”The Woodlands” or ”Spring.” While ”Spring” is the official post office designator for these zip codes, it is quite common and acceptable for residents in these zones to use ”The Woodlands” name as an alternate to Spring, and arguably less confusing to others to do so.

As a resident of The Woodlands, I can attest that the home in the har listing you attached is located in a very nice, highly desirable area of The Woodlands. My only concern would be the lengthy-time commute from the neighborhood to downtown Houston if that is what you are intending to do on a regular basis, though I'm sure that there must be many residents of the area who somehow manage it. I believe there is the option of a park-n-ride commuter bus with a lot located nearby if that is attractive to you.
