The Village of Alden Bridge The Woodlands Texas

Alden Bridge opened in 1994, the fifth village in The Woodlands. Roger Galatas, then president of The Woodlands Operating Company, named it after his hometown of Alden Bridge, Louisiana. The village sits in Montgomery County near FM 2978 and FM 1488, and the Township counts it among the largest villages in The Woodlands. When Community Impact profiled it in 2017, Alden Bridge had more than 18,000 residents and about 7,000 homes.

Shopping

Community Impact counted two shopping centers in the village in 2017. The larger is Alden Bridge Village Center, anchored by a Kroger, at 7800-8150 Research Forest Drive.

Schools

Alden Bridge is in Conroe ISD, and three schools are inside the village: Buckalew Elementary, Barbara Pierce Bush Elementary and George P. Mitchell Intermediate. Bush and Mitchell feed McCullough Junior High and The Woodlands High School. Buckalew is in both high school zones, so some homes near it go to The Woodlands College Park High School instead. See Schools in The Woodlands for addresses, the 2026-27 calendar and private schools nearby.

The Alden Bridge Village Association meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at The Woodlands Township.
