Have to relocate back to Houston from Boerne. Any feedback on Woodson's Reserve? The taxes suck, but we really like the neighborhood and the area.
Back in the day (pre-COVID 19) when we used to work in offices, on my way home from work I pulled off 99 to shop either HEB or Twins Liquor fairly often. The eastbound traffic definitely builds up at the Rayford Road intersection, but it moves pretty well. Not a major concern IMO, at least not yet. Maybe as more growth occurs it becomes more of a headache.jellycheese said:
My wife teaches at Grand Oaks HS. We don't live in the immediate area but I've scouted most of the surrounding neighborhoods, Woodson's and Bender's included. There's a lot of good people in that area. Seems like there's still a lot of growing yet to happen. Only knock may be the traffic that builds up at the lights near the HEB and Walmart. Those that live there may think differently.
I love your neighborhood. I've been thinking about opening a business in the new shopping center at 59/99 that would hopefully pull clientele from Bender's Landing and Woodson's.Drillbit4 said:
I'm next door in Benders Landing. We really love the area. The schools are great. Everything you need is right there on 99. We need a few more restaurants. We have friends in Woodsons Reserve. They all seem to love it.
Same here, it is easier to get to than The Woodlands. A big reason for that is the terrible road planning not making a connector ramp from 99 going north on 45.Drillbit4 said:
We go over that way all the time. Academy, Gringos, BBW, etc. we go there more than the Woodlands. Why? No traffic and no stop lights. It might be a mile or two farther distance wise but it's a breeze to go back and forth. So yes, lots of Benders and Woodsons folks go to that area.
That's what I was thinking. From a residential growth perspective, it's hard to forecast what the schools will be like in Porter-New Caney. Currently, they are below average even though some nice neighborhoods (homes $300k +) are springing up in New Caney/Roman Forest. And there are acres of older rural neighborhoods taking up land that could be used for a new development like Woodson's.Drillbit4 said:

Don't know if you've been to Gringo's since they opened for inside dining, but if not just a heads up that you have to make an online reservation.Drillbit4 said:

We are looking to buy in Woodson's Reserve as well. We've been checking out Toll Brothers builders... anyone here used this builder before? Pros/cons?
Jay's Lounge, are you guys still looking at Woodson's?
