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 Mitchell Pavilion, and The Woodlands Country Club, the only golf club in the nation to have six world-class 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. Mitchell 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 Associates, 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.

^^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.

True Hell On Earth...

aka: the hoodlands
aka: the weedlands

there are 3 types of people here in the woodlands.
1. the Preps/Gangsters- both wear hollister and abercombie. we are very pretty and rich and boys love girls. girls love girls and girls love boys. nothing uber spectacular happens because no one knows of anything better to do than cheer or get wasted. if you have sex on a tuesday everyone knows on wednesday.

2.the Skaters/ Scene kids- if your not a nerd/freak and your not preppy or gangster you are automatically placed in the scene/ skater category. i you ever wear black skinny jeans or put your bangs over your eyes then you are scene here. myspace is god and god is satan. bongs and pipes are a common household item and when raves go down its actually a rave not just beer and a strob light.

3. nerds- they will grow up and make money like no other. but there boss will be daddys big boy the jock. no doubt about it nerds are doomed.

the schools around here mostly work to these statistics
40% preps
50% skaters
10% freaks

the preppy ppl do not liked to be called preppy because its not good enough. they claim to be so down to earth when really we have never even seen what earth looks like.

if you dont smoke weed youve already moved on to bigger badder things.
no one respects anyone else and
when ppl say things like
"zomgz tdwp is hxc it pwns bmth"
and hear
"poser bmth is fbamf so stfu"
then you know youve entered the weedlands

in conclusion: if you are poor, clean, and wanting to excell in life, go back to whereever you came from.

Painted by many as a wholesome, family friendly community. One of the most prominent in Houston, with great schools and ambiance. Anyone who lives here will tell you that it is quite the opposite. Drugs are EVERYWHERE as are elitists and if your kid isnt an athlete; send them elsewhere because the schools here wont teach them anything other than how to judge people. Worst academic facilities anywhere.

Plenty of golf courses, churches and a very elegant mall/river walk. Most of the homes are overpriced and over taxed for what they are (antiques from the 70s and 80s which require excessive maintenance). The newer homes are the same... only newer. Pleasant place to look in brochures at and presumably to visit, but living in The Woodlands is an entirely different story. You can cover a piece of shit in gold dust, but at the end of the day, its still a piece of shit.

The Woodlands is a clear cut case of Haves and Have-nots. If you aren't rich, you are a nobody. Without question the most pretentious, pious over-rated "community" Ive ever lived in.

Middle Class Burb that thinks a leased BMW 3 series, and a fat mortgage on a 300k tract home makes you rich.

Planned community north of Houston with strict homeowner guidelines assuring 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?

A shithole town in Northern California

The Woodlands is the most stereotyped and labeled school and community of the Northern-Houston area. It is a very wealthy community with a lot of talent and academic skills. Yes, a lot of people are snobby. NO, not "EVERYONE" has the newest BMW or Benz; yes, there are a few people that do, but the majority have normal cars.

Drugs are definitely not ruining all of the students' minds and we most certainly DO NOT have the lowest test scores in the state of Texas. In fact, it is a TOTAL bitch to get into the top 10 percent of your graduating class, even if you're one of the smarter kids in your class. There are countless Advanced Placement (AP) courses available, and there are ALOT of people enrolled in them.

Yes, we do win at pretty much everything. We have been ranked THE top athletic program in the nation in 2009, and have stayed up there since, and most of our teams pretty much kick everyone's asses in the surrounding area. The football team could definitely beat some college teams. Each football game draws an insanely high amount. The top junior diver in the world attends here. The band program probably gets more money than ANY other program in the school-- the marching band is consistently one of the top marching 5 bands in the county.. the top concert band is about just as good as some professional orchestras.

Like I said, people just stereotype us a lot. We may beat everyone at a lot of things, but we certainly work our ASSES OFF to do these things.
