How is your access to things like: restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in Creekside?
I can walk from my house to the HEB, Walgreens, and several restaurants (Crust Pizza, Fieldings Local, Levure Bakery, and a few others). It's less than 0.5 miles. The development is big, and I'm about as close to the shops as you can get, but no house is more than about 1-2 miles away. Trader Joe's (and another HEB) is about 4 miles to the north (at Woodlands Pkwy and Kuykendahl).
The Creekside HEB stayed open the entire time during Harvey. We all learned we have everything we need within walking distance. I used to joke that I never needed to go into town/leave The Woodlands to get what I need. Now, I almost don't even have to leave my neighborhood.
There is also a Wal-Mart really close (at Kuykendahl and Augusta Pines). You can walk/bike there, but it's a little farther than HEB.
It's about a 20 min drive into The Woodlands (Market St/Waterway/mall area). Another 20 or so (depending on traffic) to the south is a new shopping center at Kuykendahl and the Grand Parkway that has Target, DSW, Ulta, and a bunch of other stores. A big Cinemark is one light past the Grand Parkway, and Lowe's at Kuykendahl and 2920.
