If you’ve been watching the North Houston market, you’ve probably seen The Woodlands Hills pop up more than once — and for good reason. I recently filmed a home tour of a Perry Homes build out there in the $300s, and I wanted to put together a real breakdown of what you’re actually getting when you buy in this community. Not the glossy brochure version. The real version.
Here’s what you need to know.
1. Perry Homes Has a New Section — and the Entry Price Point Is Legit
Perry Homes’ 40′ section in The Woodlands Hills is a newer section, currently starting from the $310s with homes ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. For a master-planned community with this level of amenities, that entry point is genuinely competitive in today’s market. If you’ve been priced out of some of the surrounding areas, this is worth a serious look.
2. The Woodlands Hills Is Not The Woodlands — and That’s Actually a Good Thing
The Woodlands Hills is completely separate from The Woodlands and is its own master-planned community located about 13 miles north on I-45 in Conroe and Willis, Texas. The similarity in name is intentional — it was developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation, who also developed The Woodlands, and they designed it to incorporate much of the same topography, nature, and lifestyle. Unlike The Woodlands, which has a township tax, The Woodlands Hills has a traditional HOA fee.
That distinction matters a lot for buyers who are comparing the two communities on cost.
3. The Amenities Are Genuinely Resort-Level
The Woodlands Hills is a 2,200-acre forested master-planned community featuring 112 acres of open space, homes from 8 different builders, 20 neighborhood parks at buildout, and a 17-acre Village park with tennis courts, dog parks, a sprayground, pools, and an activity center with an event lawn and fitness facility. Founders Park is the showstopper — with 17 acres of outdoor space and a 10,600-square-foot activity center, the park offers a resort-style pool with a lazy river, a dog park, and tennis courts.
This isn’t a community where you pay HOA dues and get a swing set. The amenities here are a legitimate draw.
4. The HOA Is Active — Like, Actually Active
The annual HOA fee is $1,005, managed by The Woodlands Hills Residential Community, Inc. The HOA plans tons of community events for residents — evening house concerts on the event lawn, food trucks, “Flick N’ Float” poolside movie nights, Spring Fling and Harvest festivals with activities for the whole family.
For buyers wondering if they’ll actually feel connected to their neighborhood — this community puts real effort into that.
5. The Schools Are Close. Like, Walking-Distance Close
Students in The Woodlands Hills are zoned to Willis ISD, attending W. Lloyd Meador Elementary, Robert P. Brabham Middle School, and Willis High School. The elementary and middle schools are located adjacent to the community. There’s an exclusive gated walking/biking path inside the community that leads from Teralyn Woods Park directly to the elementary and middle school.
Willis ISD is rated an A by Niche. Willis High School also boasts a 113,000-square-foot Career and Technical Center next door, offering 19 skill-based certifications.
6. Location Is More Convenient Than People Realize
The Woodlands Hills is just 4 miles away from the public dock entrance to Lake Conroe, and a short drive to the beach for swimming, the marina for waterfront shopping, dining, and live music. A wide selection of shopping is available about 2 miles down Interstate 45, including a Kroger Marketplace, H-E-B, medical offices, and popular restaurants.
The “you’re out in the middle of nowhere” concern doesn’t really hold up once you’re actually out there.
Bottom Line
Perry Homes in The Woodlands Hills in the $300s is one of the more honest value propositions I’ve seen in this price range in North Houston right now. New construction, real amenities, good schools, and a community that actually functions like one.
