Del Webb the Woodlands

Del Webb The Woodlands is a gated 55+ active adult community of approximately 550 single-family homes built by Del Webb (PulteGroup) on roughly 200 acres adjacent to the master-planned community of The Woodlands, Texas. Pre-sales began in early 2016, and the community sold out of new construction around 2022, meaning all homes today are resale. It sits just off FM 1488, about five miles from Interstate 45 in the 77382 zip code, placing residents inside the Magnolia ISD boundary but with full access to the shopping, dining, medical, and entertainment assets of The Woodlands proper. The heart of the community is an 11,500-square-foot clubhouse (Del Webb marketing has also referenced a 14,000-sq-ft figure when including outdoor amenity spaces). Inside, residents have a fitness center, indoor lap pool, grand ballroom, social lounge, coffee bar and cyber café, catering kitchen, arts and crafts studio, card room, billiards room, and multipurpose meeting rooms. Outside, the amenity campus includes a resort-style outdoor pool and spa, hot tub, tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, and a network of walking and biking trails that wind through natural wetlands and ponds on the property. Life here is driven by a full-time on-site Lifestyle Director (some residents call the role a Lifestyle Coordinator) who keeps the calendar full of events, classes, lunch-and-learn seminars, game nights, dance classes, concerts, and group outings. The homeowner association reports roughly 40 resident clubs and interest groups — covering arts and crafts, billiards, bocce, cards and bridge, pickleball, tennis, photography, wine, travel, foodie groups, fitness classes, and more. The clubs are self-funded but meet in the clubhouse free of charge, which is a big part of why social life here feels organic rather than programmed. Homes are offered in three series. The Garden Series is the smallest footprint at roughly 1,263 to 1,475 square feet — a popular option for right-sizers who still want a single-family home on a small lot with lawn care included. The Classic Series runs about 1,711 to 1,960 square feet, and the Estate Series spans roughly 2,327 to 2,604 square feet, with structural options on some plans expanding living space toward 3,800+ square feet. Popular floor plans include the Abbeyville, Martin Ray, Magnolia, Napa Valley, Steel Creek, and Noir Coast. Because of the mix of home sizes and the upgrade/lot-premium variability, resale pricing is not cookie-cutter — it ranges from roughly the mid-$300s for a smaller Garden home up past $800K for a loaded Estate on a premium lot. In 2025, local MLS activity showed a blend of Estate, Classic, and Garden resales moving through the community. HOA dues are a flat $154 per month and cover the gate guard, common grounds and amenities, management company, escrow reserve, and front and back lawn maintenance — a big convenience factor and a major reason Garden Series homes are attractive to snowbirds and residents who travel. There is no CDD. Montgomery County property taxes apply; Texas is a non-disclosure state, which is why published sold prices can be hard to verify and listing prices are more commonly referenced. The location is a core part of the pitch. Residents are minutes from Market Street, The Woodlands Mall, Hughes Landing, The Woodlands Waterway, and the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion outdoor amphitheater. Healthcare is close — Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital and Memorial Hermann The Woodlands are both nearby, along with a Montgomery County medical center roughly three miles away. George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is under 40 miles east, and downtown Houston is about 40 miles south. Golfers have three nearby courses, including two Jack Nicklaus designs. The overall vibe is upscale-suburban piney-woods Texas: mature trees, manicured streetscapes, gated security, and easy access to big-city amenities without living in the middle of them.
