The Abbey On Lake Wyndemere

Wrapped around a stocked private lake off Sawdust Road, The Abbey On Lake Wyndemere combines four-story apartment buildings with townhome-style units in the Grogan’s Mill section of The Woodlands. Abbey Residential manages the gated property, where elevators run directly from the parking garages and fishing piers extend onto the lake.

An amenity center of roughly 11,000 square feet holds the fitness facility, a media theater, a clubhouse with a pool table and a business center. Outside there is a resort pool with a beach entry, a full-size basketball court and a putting green. One- and two-bedroom plans run from about 840 to 1,440 square feet with granite counters, hardwood flooring and walk-in closets.

Sawdust Road feeds onto I-45 at the southern edge of The Woodlands, which is the practical draw. Springwoods Village and its ExxonMobil and Hewlett Packard Enterprise campuses are a short run south, Downtown Houston is about 30 miles away, and Town Center, Market Street and the Waterway are a few minutes north by car.
