Community feel and interstate access defines the booming College Park

College Park hovers at the edge of The Woodlands, a township that began as a master-planned community. “College Park shares the theme of the rest of the Woodlands, it’s just a different location,” says Becky Drake, a Realtor and team leader at RE/MAX ONE who has lived in the Woodlands for over 40 years. She says that she watched its population skyrocket from about 17,000 people to over 400,000. “It has the community feel, the access to shopping and bike trails. You’re going to be a mile and a half from a swimming pool, neighborhood parks and tot lots,” Drake says. Highway 242 separates College Park from the rest of The Woodlands, but easy access to it and Interstate 45 makes commuting easy. It’s just 8 miles from downtown Conroe and 35 miles from downtown Houston. For many, being part of The Woodlands community is just as much a draw as College Park’s location. “The Woodlands is divided into villages to give it more of an identity and a close-knit feeling,” Drake says. “We have a Fourth of July parade, we have celebrations at Christmas, Waterway Arts Festival in the spring and golf tournaments. There are just so many community activities.”

Townhomes and newer Colonial styles make up the housing landscape

Potential homebuyers are drawn to College Park for its home prices, which are lower than other parts of The Woodlands, typically falling between $300,000 for a townhome to around $550,000 for a larger single-family home. A few newer developments offer expanded Cape Cods, Colonial-style and Tudor-inspired homes with wide-open lawns and little in the way of tree cover. Other areas have townhomes or ranch-style houses stretched along thickly tree-lined streets that lack sidewalks. College Park also has two 55-plus communities, Windsor Hills and Windsor Lakes. While high interest rates have slowed the market somewhat, Drake says that homes in Windsor Hills and Windsor Lakes often sell to cash buyers in about two weeks. Well-priced houses in the rest of the neighborhood sell in an average of 21 days.

Local parks and state forest bring green space to College Park

Residents flock to the more than 12-acre Harpers Landing Park for its playground, sports fields, skate park and public pool. The park’s dog park is a popular spot for locals to take their dogs to burn off energy and make friends. Smaller parks like Jack Thornby Memorial Park also dot the neighborhood, offering playgrounds, tennis courts and green space. Jack Thornby Memorial Park’s lake makes an ideal fishing spot close to home. When residents are in the mood for a hike or a horseback ride through the woods, the W.G. Jones State Forest’s 1,700 acres offers over 15 miles of trails, plenty of picnic spots and two small lakes where residents can fish.
