Forbes has named The Woodlands #14 in its list of the Top 25 Best Places to Move in the country.
The Woodlands was the only Houston-area community to make the list, although seven other Texas communities – six in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and one in the Austin area – were also included.

“The Woodlands is ideally situated in one of the most stable markets in the country, and we have always made job creation a top priority,” said Tim Welbes and Alex Sutton, co-presidents of The Woodlands Development Company.

Forbes looked at young, mid- and upscale suburbs near major corporate plants and offices with populations of 25,000 and over to locate America’s best places to move. Using data from 2000 to 2007 Census records, they looked at the number of people in each town who were born out of state or abroad, who had moved to town from a considerable distance within one and five years, and who had moved for a job.
