Agnes, The Woodlands is a fantastic place. Only those who've never visited could or would say bad things about it. I was last there in January, but have visited many additional times to play golf, or to just walk the canal and eat and drink at all the fantastic places.
Granted, the Houston area is hot for three months every year. I'll take that any day over cold for three months of the year.
When in town, I stay with my buddy at his Champions area house, or his Lake Conroe lake house.

As far as living here on purpose - yep, that's us! We retired to Texas about 18 years ago to a master-planned community north of Houston (The Woodlands). We've loved every minute, with among other things- no state taxes, the diversity, and no winter weather. Did I mention my only grandchild lives 7 minutes away? We agree with the non-native Texans' motto: "We got here just as quick as we could." (A little bit of throw-up came to the back of my throat saying that cuz we were raised to hate all-things-Texas. Sorry, Daddy, changes in latitudes lead to changes in attitudes.)
Hope you have a great time! If you have the time or transportation, you're also just about 90 minutes from the Galveston beach.
