“It’s a beautiful community,” Unland said. Instead, he fell in love with the township nestled between Houston and Conroe. The retired engineer said he thought his stay would only last a short time. Unland first moved to the Woodlands 18 years ago. “We don’t have self control of our roads and our development decisions,” said Mark Unland. Now, some residents say it's time for the community to undergo a transition. Its unique status as a township means it contracts with counties, cities and private companies for services. Most of the Woodlands is located in Montgomery County, with a small section bordering Houston in Harris County. “Now is not the time to abandon our current successful model of governance.” In 2021, Watermere at Woodland Lakes was voted as one of the Top 15 Senior Living Communities in America, according to J Turner Research's ORA (Online Reputation Assessment) Power Ranking. This research monitors the online reputation of more than 122,000 properties across the nation, and finds the communities with the highest level of positive sentiment.“Why would we vote in favor of incorporation and a new city government structure-one that would come with higher taxes and fees, potential loss of service levels and infrastructure management issues?” wrote Jim Carman, head of the Howard Hughes Corporation Houston Region, in a letter to Woodlands' residents. Watermere is a truly unique place where you can live life on your terms, while knowing that there is no higher standard than the incredible services and amenities we offer.
