The Woodlands Texas SIDE EFFECT of Being the #1 Place to Live in AMERICA

[@metalboarn6174]

You guys have a knack for showing up to parks and areas when nobody is around. I just drove by Terramont today after taking my son to track practice and there were tents and people everywhere. You need to show up on a weekend and show people what it's normally like. The Woodlands is full of life. Go to North Shore Park on a Saturday. Go to Hughes Landing and Market Street on a Saturday night. Do a late afternoon, early evening restaurant tour (can't get them all I know) Driving around and showing trees doesn't really tell the story. JMHO as a resident of the area. There is a lot of development around the Woodlands area too, so there is plenty of affordable supporting developments.

that is great insight! we have a dedicated time every week that we shoot vids due to how busy we are helping so many clients move here. we also dont have to show every aspect of these areas just broadly give a feel to the viewers what its like to help them narrow their search. Ultimately everyone makes their decision on feel once they enter the area when here! appreciate the comment

I started following ur channel before moving to Houston, almost a year here and still watching and enjoying every video you guys put in 🎉🎉

You are the best, guys.:) We are still in the Netherlands but I have an opportunity to move Houston to work. When I feel unsure whether to go or stay, I always motivate myself with your videos.:) I've watched hundreds hrs already but still love all.:D

Woodlands is number 3 now, but it was number one in 2021 and 2022.

[@emilyskinner3187]

Thanks guys!! My family and my dream is to move from Colorado to the woodlands. It has everything we want. We are looking to move in a year. Hope we can find something!!

I'm from NYC and used to the traffic and crowed conditions. I moved to Houston three years ago but recently had to temporarily return to NY to help my mother out. When my assignment is done with her, I will return to Houston to buy a house and not rent. I refuse to pay half a million for a house in NY that does not come with a garage or a laundry room or nice size backyard and looks like the size of two 40' tractor trailer or smaller. The developers here will build anything between two small buildings. Go Houston!

It makes no sense it would vanish from the list the next year, but when buying our home.I learned a lot of awards can be essentially be bought, I don't put a lot of stake in most of them... Especially builder specific awards... There's homes for sale, but the Woodlands is an old master planned community, most of what's for sale I noticed needs remodeling.... Lots of nearby options not in the actual Woodlands... Imperial Oaks is just to the East with great new build options in The Falls and Meadows

[@TeutonicTribe]

Yup! Boomers don’t appear to have any interest in keeping up with the times, not inside the home nor out 😝

[@Sunshine-hv6mg]

If you are using Niche rating, then The Woodlands is currently #3 best city to live in US and #1 city to buy a house in the US. This city is beautiful I hope to call it home one day 🙏💙

[@SaltedGlory2u]

Thank you Joe for putting the info out there. I wish I could live in all of them.

[@teebone2157]

I have lived here for 11 years. Never moving away

Sterling Ridge!! Those homes are beautiful!

[@houstontexasliving33]

Such a rad area too!!

[@isaiahstewart7736]

Thanks Joe! Wow sure is beautiful out there

[@amusingarts]

We bought a repo house in Grogan's Mill back in 2010. I told people we lived in the historical district, few people got the joke. When we sold that house we moved to Mexico to get away from the heat.

[@djheadx]

Thanks Joe 🎉 You guys are the best.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you so much!!

[@peetfj]

So what are the annual property taxes on that 1.5 M home? Aprx 45K? What is the tax rate including MUD taxes if applicable?

[@TeutonicTribe]

I'm Canadian thinking of moving there....I dint like snakes 🐍...are there more snakes cause of the trees?

[@TheHipsterGamer]

"Number 1 place to live" but just 10 minutes south of the Woodlands you can still see the lingering symptoms of white flight and Plessy vs Ferguson. Not to mention school districts are just as susceptible to gerrymandering... wonder how those nice schools up in the woodlands compare to those like Spring HS and Dekaney? I actually went to Spring HS and two weeks into my freshman year there was a homicide by stabbing in the cafeteria, you can look this up if you want. You don't see that type of thing in the Woodlands, Conroe, or even Willis. Why are there clear cut divisions of equity? Because it's designed that way. "Separate but equal" is a concept that still exists to this day.

[@dmzhockey94]

Thank you joe!

[@houstontexasliving33]

joe joe deserves that!!

[@cristianstriblea792]

The Woodlands market is hot , still with multiple offers and prices going above asking price …

[@touyang2846]

have you tried a neti pot or nasal wash bottle. I started using these and it works better then zertec...

[@lifewithvonnie3704]

Thanks Jojo

[@RoshanMoayed]

What about grogan's point and Fernridge for luxury homes? I think you missed a couple pal.

[@gigiborba]

Thanks

[@pinknoted]

Another thing no one told me before I moved to The Woodlands is how diverse it is. I went to parks hoping to meet fellow moms but no one spoke my language- they spoke everything but! I feel like Spanish is a given here, but German, French, etc are all spoken here and many people don’t speak English at all. Nothing wrong with that at all, it just makes making new friends a lot harder.

[@ss_whole]

One of the things that make the Woodlands so desirable is the low crime rate due to the lack of diversity

[@toai2]

What about Austin? You know the weather here sucks right?

[@farhank8336]

does it flood there?

[@purplerose9041]

No

[@Lawrence_of_Asia]

Better than Huntsville? Why?

[@crescentprincekronos2518]

Proximity to downtown Houston. Sure back in the day, only 45 minutes from the loop to Sam Houston state but nowadays much more traffic.

[@bethiciaprasek9415]

Go Joe!

[@houstontexasliving33]

haha thanks!!

[@iamking_nell]

Aye Joe get that screen fixed

A million dollars isn't anything anymore. Is it?

Literally the shakiest camera work I've ever seen... Made me sea sick; couldn't finish the video.

[@g.henson5941]

Not the best experience with this team, seems like they want you to ask more than the asking price double and get frustrated when you ask questions. I guess that was our welcome to Texas, we ended up looking for a house ourselves and did better on same location. Sheep in wolves clothing, nice/nasty; very scary individuals.

[@apriltorres203]

Well for 1.4 million that is not a nice kitchen

[@MikeS-vb1bs]

Woodlands sucks, Heat, Humidity, giant cock roaches, crappy build quality for homes, traffic and Karens!

move to Minnesota then
