"Houston's Best has its drawbacks"

The Woodlands is an upper class large city with over 100K residents. It is located north of Houston and has countless neighborhoods. There is a mall, which is dated and somewhat lackluster. However, it offers great outdoor amenities, especially for Texas. The area prides itself on the beautiful towering pine trees, which can be claustrophobic at times and can be a big negative if one likes open spaces. Transportation is a huge drawback for The Woodlands. There is only one major thoroughfare to get across town which has many stoplights; this is very bad civil planning for a city with over 100K residents.
Pros
  • atmosphere
  • housing options
Cons
  • large population
  • "we're rich" attitude
  • transportation
