Originally founded by George P. Mitchell in 1974, The Woodlands was managed by The Woodlands Corporation as an extension of Mitchell Energy & Development. On July 31, 1997, The Woodlands was acquired by a joint partnership between Morgan Stanley and Crescent Real Estate Equities. In December of 2003, the Rouse Company acquired Crescent’s interest in the Woodlands, before it was sold to General Growth Properties Inc. in November of 2004. Interestingly enough, Woodlands, TX real estate and the surrounding community included environmental design principals by the famous landscape architect and author of “Design With Nature,” Ian McHarg.

Today, The Woodlands is rapidly growing, residentially and commercially. In addition to the several residential villages in The Woodlands, the Town Center area includes fine shopping and dining opportunities, as well as a waterway that closely resembles the San Antonio River Walk. Residents of the Woodlands are typically affluent, with an average household income of around $86,000.
