About Woodforest

Woodforest is a master-planned community in Montgomery, TX, offering resort-style amenities and a vibrant lifestyle. With a golf course, water parks, sports complex, and miles of trails, there's always something to do. The community features a wide range of home styles from top builders.

Homes & Builders in Woodforest

Developed by Johnson Development across roughly 3,000 acres of Montgomery County pines, Woodforest is consistently ranked among the nation's best-selling master-planned communities. Home options span a wide range — from patio homes and family-sized new construction by national and Texas builders to large custom and estate homes — so first-time buyers, move-up families, and empty nesters can all find a fit here.

Resort-Style Amenities

The 27-hole Woodforest Golf Club, designed with PGA veteran Steve Elkington, anchors the community. Residents also enjoy the Forest Island aquatic complex with pools and a splash pad, a sports complex, more than a dozen parks, a dog park, and miles of hike-and-bike trails. An on-site lifestyle director plans dozens of community events each year, and the Pine Market district brings shopping, dining, and everyday services right into the neighborhood.

Location, Schools & Commute

Woodforest sits between Lake Conroe and The Woodlands, reached via Fish Creek Thoroughfare — about 15 minutes to The Woodlands and just minutes to the lake. Depending on the section, homes are zoned to Montgomery ISD or Conroe ISD, and Stewart Elementary sits inside the community itself. It's a popular choice for buyers who want resort amenities with a manageable commute to The Woodlands' employment centers.

Woodforest FAQs

Which school district is Woodforest in?
Both — Woodforest is split between Montgomery ISD and Conroe ISD depending on the section, and Conroe ISD's Stewart Elementary is located inside the community. School zoning matters to resale value here, so have Leslie verify the current zoning for any specific home you're considering.
Why are property taxes higher in Woodforest than nearby acreage communities?
Woodforest's total tax rate (roughly 2.6%, varying by section) includes MUD taxes that fund the community's infrastructure and resort-style amenities. Acreage neighborhoods without those amenities typically have lower rates — it's a trade-off between amenities and carrying cost that Leslie can walk you through.
Does Woodforest have new construction homes?
Yes. Woodforest is still actively developing, with multiple builders offering new construction alongside a healthy resale market. Leslie can help you compare builder inventory against resale homes — including negotiating builder incentives.
Is the Woodforest Golf Club private?
The 27-hole, Steve Elkington-designed Woodforest Golf Club operates on a membership model, and joining is optional — golf membership is separate from the neighborhood HOA. Policies and rates change, so contact the club directly for current membership details.

What It Means for You

For buyers, I see choices across a broad price range. I’d compare condition, included features and total monthly costs before deciding which homes deserve a closer look. A longer listing time can be a reason to ask questions, not assume a discount.

For sellers, I’d focus on competing listings closest to your home in size, condition and features. With 30+ years in Magnolia and Montgomery County, I know a neighborhood-wide median is only a starting point for pricing.
