the woodlands

Painted by many as a wholesome, family friendly community. One of the most prominent in Houston, with great schools and ambiance. Anyone who lives here will tell you that it is quite the opposite. Drugs are EVERYWHERE as are elitists and if your kid isnt an athlete; send them elsewhere because the schools here wont teach them anything other than how to judge people. Worst academic facilities anywhere. Plenty of golf courses, churches and a very elegant mall/river walk. Most of the homes are overpriced and over taxed for what they are (antiques from the 70s and 80s which require excessive maintenance). The newer homes are the same... only newer. Pleasant place to look in brochures at and presumably to visit, but living in The Woodlands is an entirely different story. You can cover a piece of shit in gold dust, but at the end of the day, its still a piece of shit. The Woodlands is a clear cut case of Haves and Have-nots. If you aren't rich, you are a nobody. Without question the most pretentious, pious over-rated "community" Ive ever lived in.
