I live in Forest Cove. I like it for a few reasons, the huge lots, the lack of curbs and sidewalks, the huge trees, and proximity to 59.
I have heard people hem and haw about how 'horrible' my neighborhood is for crime, and yet, other than a guy down my street who had his car radio stolen, I've never heard of anything. Maybe it's that I'm from California where you have to bolt your patio furniture to the concrete, else risk never seeing it again, but I don't consider this place dangerous. My neighbors are friendly without being up in my business, it's quiet here, lots of squirrels and trees, birds all over my yard. I notice the tree cover gives it about a 5 or more degree drop in temperature, and I have yet to see a mosquito.

If you like strict HOAs and CC&Rs, there are probably better neighborhoods for you. I think you'd have to really **** off a neighbor for anyone to come tell you that your lawn needs mowing, or hedges need trimming.
But the nice part is that people here don't need those rules, people here keep their yards nice because they want them nice. I would generalize Forest Cove as fewer children, more older established residents. I believe this is one of the first tracts put in.

I hope any of this helps you. The best thing I can say is that I love it here, I love it very much and I see myself living here til old age. The trees do it for me, it's really comforting to live in the woods, and smell the pines and so on. Very nice.
I believe that you should be able to find the neighborhood that suits you here.

In general, the Kingwood greenbelts are more "natural" and less "let's fill this street divider with trees and plants that are not indigenous". I happen to love that.

How far is Post Oak from Kingwood commute that is

No, It's not a joke, or a slam. Its just a general feeling. Not all people in Kingwood are snobby, like some of them are very nice. There are some however who seem to be living in a bubble of some sorts.

I just hung out with some women from Kingwood the other day and they were far from "trailerpark." In fact, they were well educated stylish and friendly. They did mention that there were some issues with snobs in Kingwood, but I have not encountered them either.

No its not a joke are a slam, its a general feeling. Not all people in kingwood are snobby, some are very nice. There are some however, that do seem to live in sort of a bubble . However, if you must commute to downtown , then from a traffic perspective it is probably better from kingwood, Fall Creek, Summerwood, etc.
