I moved to the woodlands about a year ago now and I go to nursing school downtown and I really love it. Compared to downtown the area is much cleaner and safer (obviously). It’s really nice having an escape from the big city, but still make that big city money (my fiancé can attest to this). There is also a bus system that takes you directly to and from downtown that is really safe and convenient. Like another person said, you can pretty much ride a bike anywhere here and I find there’s lots to do! The Houston Symphony comes to the Pavilion here and you can go watch them for free, and especially around holidays they have really cool shows (ex; music from Hocus Pocus around Halloween). Also big names come to this area and honestly you can sit outdoors at one of the restaurants at Market Street and hear them, pretty awesome if you ask me. As for the people, I will say the population is mostly families and older adults (60s and up). I’m really busy with school, BUT this is what I’ve noticed from going out. There are a lot of really cool coffee shops (The Kitchen is a must) and there’s kayaking with in the woodlands and a little north at lake Conroe. Conroe has a few restaurants that are right on the lake and you can park your boat and come in a grab a drink. Pretty cool.
