Woodforest Homes for Sale

Developed in 2007 by The Johnson Development Company, the homes for sale in Woodforest are part of a 3000 acre master-planned community destined to become one of the top residential communities in the North Houston area. With a prime location in Southern Montgomery County, Woodforesthomes for sale offer residents a wide array of home choices priced from the $200,000s to $1,000,000 and higher. Many of the luxury custom homes for sale in Woodforest border lakes, streams, nature preserves, and the Woodforest Golf Club, a 27 hole championship golf course with towering pine trees and lush greens. Located five miles north of The Woodlands, six miles south of Conroe, and approximately 4.5 miles west of Interstate 45, and is less than five minutes from the FM 1488/FM 2978 Westwood shopping corridor. The new shopping center includes an array of convenient retailers and popular restaurants, such as Kroger, Home Depot, Target, Office Max, Chili's and many others. The homes for sale in Woodforest allow residents to play and enjoy the great outdoors while only being a short commute to The Woodlands and Conroe, and a 25 minute drive to downtown Houston.



The Woodforest homes for sale in the master plan call for the eventual build-out of over 5500 homes as well as commercial and retail space with over 700 acres preserved as green belts, parks, and nature trails. Ensconced in a natural forest and gently rolling terrain, Woodforest homes for sale will offer residents a bountiful lifestyle with a host of anticipated amenities. Planned within a heavily- wooded 15 acre section will lie the Woodforest recreation center boasting an expansive swimming area with water slides and water play equipment,a competition pool and a toddler pool. In addition the recreation area will have six lighted tennis courts including a tournament court with spectator seating.



Furthermore, miles and miles of hiking and biking trails will meander through forested green belts connecting neighborhoods within the community and Lily Pad Park, the newest addition within Woodforest. The nature-themed spray park, that is under construction, is slated for completion in the fall. The spray park, nestled among more than 40 existing oak trees, comprises multiple play areas designed for a variety of ages. The main area includes a "creek" surrounded by wet areas with fountains and other spray elements that shoot water as high as 10 feet. The creek partially wraps around a shade pavilion that provides a cool place for parents to watch their children or for families to break for lunch. A log footbridge crosses the stream leading to the frog pond, suitable for children ages 3 and under. Bronze frogs gently shoot water, inviting children to reach out and touch. A third area, set apart from the main spray ground, features flower and leaf sculptures with embedded spray elements. Other amenities include an open play area with picnic tables and restrooms. Boulders, log footbridges, paving that resembles a dirt path, and a wooden boardwalk add to the park's natural ambiance. Because it is a spray park, rather than a conventional swimming pool, it can be used much of the year. Even on chilly days when the water isn't running the park will be a nice place to play among the homes for sale in Woodforest. The spray park will be within walking distance for most current residents.



Another focal point of the Woodforest homes for sale is the development of the Woodforest Golf Club, a Steve Elkington designed course that has quickly gained accolades. The championship course was named as one of the Top Ten golf courses in Texas by Golf Digest in 2008, and many of the highly appointed custom homes in Woodforest line the fairways. Woodforest residents enjoy special resident only membership packages and preferential membership privileges.



Another positive aspect of Woodforest are the great schools. Woodforest is served by the Conroe and Montgomery Independent School Districts, and each of the schools have been recognized as Exemplary or as Recognized by the Texas Education Agency. As the Woodforest development grows so does the commitment of the Conroe Independent School District and Montgomery Independent School District to address the needs of the residents in the area. Both school districts has acquired two tracts of land within the Woodforest community for future schools.
