Panther Creek
Zoned to Montgomery County’s best schools
Panther Creek is zoned in the Conroe Independent School District, which Niche named the best school district in Montgomery County. Glen Loch Elementary School and McCullough Junior High School both have A grades, and McCullough was recognized as the best middle school in the county. The area has two high schools, both rated A-plus by Niche. On the west side, students attend The Woodlands High School, named it the best high school in Montgomery County by Niche for its multiple advanced classes and career and technical programs. On the east side, students go to College Park High School, which houses the Academy of Science and Technology, a specialized STEM program. Panther Creek is within 7 miles of the Lone Star College Creekside Center.Kayak rides and weekend concerts at Northshore Park
Northshore Park on Lake Woodlands Drive is located right on the shores of Lake Woodlands. The park is a popular starting point for local 5Ks and Iron Man races, and during the summertime, it’s filled with folding chairs and picnic blankets when locals attend outdoor concerts. “The Sunday night concerts at Northshore Park are fabulous,” says Betsy Rusell, a Realtor for Zarco Properties and a former teacher at McCullough Junior High School. “We went when our kids were little, and it was one of the things that made our youngest say she couldn’t wait to buy a home here.” On the other side of Panther Creek, George Mitchell Nature Preserve on Flintridge Drive has miles of mountain biking trails that cut through nearly 2,000 forested acres.Falling Star Lights is a holiday season staple
The Woodlands is known for its elaborate Christmas light displays, and Panther Creek stands out for its holiday spirit. The Falling Star Lights is one of the village’s largest displays, featuring a 15-minute synchronized light show. Tangle Brush Drive, Windsail Place and Indian Clover Drive are also outfitted with thousands of lights and planned shows that run multiple times a night during December. “Every one of those activities is so well done and so big,” Russell says. “My daughter remembers going to these shows when she was a little girl, and they’re the same today.”Museums and restaurants at Panther Creek Shopping Mall
The village’s main shopping center is Panther Creek Shopping Mall on West Panther Creek Drive. The mall is home to The Woodlands Children’s Museum, a popular interactive family attraction. On the other side of the museum, The Republic Grille is one of the most popular local restaurants and a favorite of Compass Realtor Emily Braud, who is also a Panther Creek resident. The Grille has a big outdoor patio where guests can enjoy reimagined Southern cuisine. A second shopping complex on Gosling Road has a Kroger and two other popular restaurants -- The Kitchen, a chic eatery known for its burgers, and Sakekawa, a Japanese restaurant with classic sushi and ramen. This center is surrounded by several of the neighborhood’s churches and synagogues.Luxury estates on Lake Woodlands
Most homes in Panther Creek take inspiration from traditional European architecture, including Greek and French Revival, and classic American styles like Cape Cods and ranch properties. These homes are settled into dense stands of trees on flat, easy-to-traverse streets. While there aren’t many sidewalks in the area, there are many pathways and footbridges that lead through the neighborhood’s forested sections. Panther Creek homes start at $300,000 for a simple ranch residence and can increase to $700,000 for a 3,000-square-foot French-inspired property. Homes on Lake Woodlands put a twist on English cottages, adding tall turrets and intricate columns. These lakefront estates can start at $1 million and top out at $6 million. Panther Creek has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 3, lower than the national average score of 4.
Fast access to Houston via I-45
Out of the Woodlands’ nine villages, Panther Creek is one of the closest to I-45. “The newer villages are farther away, but Panther Creek is almost directly in the center of the Woodlands,” Russell says. “The houses in Panther Creek are a little older, but people choose them over the newer houses for the location.” Woodlands Parkway cuts through Panther Creek and connects directly to the interstate. The neighborhood is 25 miles from the George Bush Intercontinental Airport and 33 miles from downtown Houston via I-45. For locals who work in Houston’s Energy Corridor, The Woodlands Express commuter bus travels directly into Houston’s fuel and energy hub.
