The Woodlands Humidity better than Houston?
We are moving to Texas and just saw The Woodlands rated as a best place to retire. Its close to Houston so is the humidity there the same in the summer as Houston? Thanks.

The Woodlands is a good place to retire, from what I understand. Yes, however, the humidity and heat are the exact same as Houston. You might not get quite as humid at night, but it'll still be there. You'll be bypassed by most of the really severe weather (it'll go more east of the Woodlands), but when it hits, it hiiits. heh.
It really is a beautiful area.

I was wondering if anyone who lives in The Woodlands could tell me on average how much are electric, gas, water bill cost? Also, the average price of car insurance? Thanks.

insurance is lower
Car insurance is lower in Montgomery county than it is in Harris (Houston) county. Electricity is very high in the summer, very low in the winter.
The schools in The Woodlands area are much better than in Houston, if you have kids. I live in a subdivision just outside The Woodlands and my water, sewer and trash pick up altogether is $32 / mo.

Montgomery co is a little less expensive. Our auto insurance for 2 adults is about $1600 a year. Our electric bill in the summer is $400 (2100 sf/ 2 story/ kept at 80 degrees). water/sewer/trash is all pretty cheap- about $28. Gas bill is about $30 as well. Heat still sucks. Still really humid

for most of the year, yes, the humidity and heat will be similar. The only real difference is during the winter when it can be up to 10F colder for lows and 5F colder for highs in the woodlands than in downtown Houston. Last year, for instance, there was a night when my house in Spring (just south of the woodlands) was 23F, while it was 27F at the airport and 30F downtown. Also, there was a day when the high was 34F at my house, 37F at the airport and 39F downtown. That little bit of difference in location can mean a big change in winter-time temperature (probably due to less gulf influence).

"Sorry to say you would have to go to Dallas to get away from the humidity!"
Sorry, I wish. Dallas is almost as humid as the rest of Texas (except for the high plains and Big Bend Area). But it makes for the great skin on us Texans.
Humidity in Dallas as we speak is 42 percent, 58 percent in Houston. But that is great compared to 70 to 80+ percent in the summer. We don't buy saunas in Texas. Just walk outside.
