The Cove is located on the southwest shore of Lake Woodlands. As you visit this neighborhood, you will notice all of the homes are unique; all were custom built with the exception of several streets of patio homes recently built in the Enclave section of the neighborhood.

This neighborhood is the ideal location for someone wanting to be close to The Woodlands Town Center or quick access to Interstate 45 & the Hardy Toll Road.
