One of three master planned communities in the Houston region developed by Howard Hughes Communities, The Woodlands Hills has so much to offer residents.
Set within 2,000 forested acres, The Woodlands Hills was inspired by the contour of the land and natural surroundings. The community follows the rolling terrain while preserving native trees, shrubs, creeks, and wildflowers. Residents have access to abundant nature-inspired amenities in a location that’s close to everything, yet far enough away to experience the serenity the area offers. Residents feel welcomed in the closely knit community where neighbors lend a hand, helping each other out, and friendships are made by engaging in activities with neighbors. These connections add to the quality of life for residents, adding a value that’s unquantifiable. Over, and over again, we hear similar sentiments echoed by homebuyers as to why they chose to live in The Woodlands Hills. We’ve detailed some of those reasons here. If you’re looking to purchase a home in Conroe or Willis, Texas, The Woodlands Hills may be just what you’re looking for.
ACCESS TO PARKS AND NATURE
Howard Hughes designed The Woodlands Hills around the fundamental principal of providing spaces for residents to engage with each other and the outdoors. The masterplan required homesites to be no more than one-quarter mile from a park or green space. Approximately 10 miles of hike-and-bike trails ribbon throughout the community, and residents also have access to bike lanes along major thoroughfares. Trailhead Ridge nature path is especially treasured by the residents as it connects the community to both Meador Elementary School and Brabham Middle School, offering children a few moments under the canopy of trees before the start of the school day.
At present, the Woodlands Hills offers eight play parks, each uniquely designed with their own theme. Active imaginations will enjoy Coach Les Peacock Park, for example, which is designed like the ultimate backyard fort, providing hours of active play. For those seeking a more tranquil experience, The Rick and Roz Dauzat Peace Park offers 2.5 acres of winding trails and serene creekside views. Another new park is nearing completion and will be announced shortly. Additional nature trails will also be added as development continues.
LOCATION
One of the reasons people choose to purchase a home in The Woodlands Hills is for its prime location. The community is situated in both Conroe and Willis, Texas. Conroe provides access to a cultural district comprised of shopping, entertainment, cultural events and plenty of eateries. While the small town charm of Willis offers shopping, dining, job opportunities and recreation.
Just a short 10-minute drive brings you to Lake Conroe. It’s a popular destination for weekend getaways and plenty of water-sport fun. The community also provides easy access to I-45 for those commuting to downtown Houston or The Woodlands, which is just 13 miles to the south.
EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
A full-time activities director curates a yearly calendar full of events and activities for the community. There is something planned so that all members of the community can gather, making lasting memories and friendships. Kids only activities include story time, various camps, and movies on the lawn. Activities like line dancing encourage families to interact with each other. Teens enjoy game nights and socials, and active adult events enjoy events like bingo with beverages. Organically, residents have formed their own groups, such as the Empty Nesters Group and several book clubs, just to name a few. Neighbors become friends when engaging in activities that are planned for families, teens and active adults.
Bringing residents together through activities such as art classes, pool socials, and movies on the lawn further enhances the small town feel. Events such as the regularly scheduled blood drive extend that sense of community by helping the community-at-large.
One of the community’s highly anticipated events is Bottle Bingo. The next bingo night happening this September promises to be filled with the glitz and glamour of the roaring 20’s, as The Woodlands Hills does bingo Gatsby style.
One of the most celebrated holidays in The Woodlands Hills is Halloween. It’s the time of year when residents go all out, decorating their home for the holiday, in an effort to win the best decorated home contest. People from the surrounding area gravitate to the community to see residents’ creative decorations and to trick-or-treat on Halloween.
SENSE OF COMMUNITY
On any given day, you’ll find residents walking together along the trail system, gathering with friends for a playdate at one of the parks or meeting animal friends to romp at the dog park. You’ll see kids riding bikes, moms pushing strollers, the Bunco/LRC group that gathers regularly to play in the amenity center, and the pickle ball group in friendly competition on the courts.
Larger events such as the upcoming Haunted in the Hills, Holiday in the Hills, the Spring Carnival, and Fourth of July celebration bring the community together on a grand scale. This November, the annual Harvest in The Hills event invites residents and those from the surrounding area to enjoy a fall festival and model home tour.
Encouraging residents to mingle throughout the year at events and activities like these helps to create a sense of belonging. It’s that sense of connectedness that is the hallmark of the community, making The Woodlands Hills a tightly knit community and a unique place to live.
