The Woodlands / Escavera
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
The Woodlands and Escavera sit between Founders Parkway and Woodlands Boulevard, built out from 2000 to 2018 with two-story, ranch, and multi-level homes running 2,500 to 3,500 square feet above grade on lots of a third to half an acre. The Woodland Bowl Open Space threads 1.8 miles of paved trail through the community, and Escavera residents also get a private playground and volleyball court. Rock Park and the Douglas County Fairgrounds are both within a few minutes' drive. Founders Parkway reaches I-25 in about 5 minutes, and Sage Canyon Elementary sits inside the neighborhood boundary.
