F.A.Q.s

What is Woodforest? What is the development timeline?

A large-scale master-planned community with a population that could eventually reach 15,000, Woodforest will have approximately 5,500 homes, as well as retail and commercial properties, places of worship, on-site schools, miles of hike-and-bike trails, lakes, parks, a playground and a world-class Tennis & Aquatics Center. 

The first residents began moving into Woodforest Summer 2009, and already dozens of rooftops are blending into the treed landscape. Model homes are open, with several more under construction, and builders have a varied selection of available homes. Plus, custom builders have completed elegant homes overlooking the Woodforest golf course.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to stop by the new Woodforest Welcome Lodge to learn more about the community and its builders.

Will the current treed landscape in Woodforest remain as development continues?

It is our full intention to keep the forested surroundings that gives Woodforest its name. The Johnson Development Corp. has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to preserve the trees that define Woodforest, ensuring that this most-coveted feature is found not only in esplanades, forest buffers and floodplain bottomlands, but also within actual homesites, so buyers can enjoy both new homes and old-growth trees.

What is the status of Fish Creek Thoroughfare?

The new Fish Creek Thoroughfare and Lake Creek bridge opened to traffic in May 2009. Fish Creek is a major roadway through Montgomery County - a north-south roadway connecting FM 2854 and FM 1488, both of which provide access to Interstate 45. Fish Creek Thoroughfare also feeds into FM 2978, providing access to Woodlands Parkway and FM 2920, two more routes accessing Interstate 45. The extension of Fish Creek Thoroughfare over the railroad tracks at FM 2854 is scheduled to begin Spring 2010. The county is planning to construct a new bridge over the railroad tracks which will connect Fish Creek Thoroughfare to McCaleb Road allowing instant access to Highway 105. The bridge is the final element that will allow mobility from Highway 105 in Conroe to FM 2854 to Fish Creek Thoroughfare to FM 1488/2978 south to FM 2920 in Tomball.
