“I am extremely proud of all the accomplishments and awards The Woodlands has received including this back-to-back #1 honor from Niche.com,” said The Woodlands Township Chairman Gordy Bunch. “Our Board of Directors, Executive Management team, The Woodlands Fire Department and more than 450 employees wake up daily with the goal to be number one in all aspects of services we provide to our residents, businesses and visitors.”

Factors such as affordability, the local housing market, neighborhood diversity, area public schools and walkability play a role in determining the rankings. 

The Woodlands has approximately 120,000 residents and over 2,000 businesses. It is home to over 150 parks and is connected by more than 220+ miles of hike and bike trails. 

“This is a tremendous honor for The Woodlands,” said Visit The Woodlands Chairman of the Board Bruce Rieser. “While the award addresses ‘living,’ leisure travelers and conventioneers look for the same attributes, fine dining, entertainment, environment and low crime in selecting a venue for Conventions and Business Meetings. This ranking by Niche will showcase The Woodlands to a broad spectrum of leisure and business travel professionals and reinforce our reputation as a world class venue for their clients.”
