Based on all the new apartments in construction on FM-1488, rentals might be hard to find.
When I moved here in 1999, rentals in The Woodlands were in demand and priced accordingly. Contact a local realtor. They usually have a few properties where the owners are willing to rent on a one year lease basis.
When you get here, check some of the local supermarkets for flyers on rentals. My local Randall's (FM-1488 and Hwy 242) has several racks of "freebie" magazines and one of those is listings of rentals in the Houston/Conroe area.
Due to traffic, your choice of location may dictate on where you plan on working.
There are two indoor public ranges inside the Conroe city limits and an outdoor range just east of The Woodlands. None of them allow rapid fire or using a holster, but they do host several competitions for IDPA. Found out recently that the outdoor range (Thunder) has an IDPA 3 Gun match monthly.
What (if any) is your poison? USPSA, IDPA, GSSC, trap, skeet, sporting clays?
