Home to 41,000 residents, Coppell is a Dallas suburb popular for its central location—with easy access to major highways and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport—and top-notch schools. "The Coppell Independent School District is highly rated, and it has been for years," says Jean Ainsworth, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Dallas Preston Road, who has lived in Coppell since 1998. Longtime resident Jennie Payne, a Realtor at Compass Realty, describes the city as close-knit and family-oriented. "A lot of kids who grew up in the neighborhood are coming back and starting families here," she says. "I've lived here for 40 years, and I really can't see myself living anywhere else."
Coppell's proximity to the airport, less than 5 miles away, has made it a desirable place to do business, attracting shipping and distribution facilities for Amazon, Samsung and The Container Store, among others. The largest employer in Coppell is the Mr. Cooper Group, a financial service company that employs nearly 10,000 people. Residents may experience airplane noise on the city's western side, however. "It's kind of like white noise. You just get used to it," Payne says.

Suburban subdivisions built in the 1990s
Homes in Coppell include a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses, some of which are in gated communities. "There's no new construction in Coppell. It's totally built out. Coppell had its construction boom in the 1990s, and the vast majority of the homes were built at that time," Payne says, though she notes that there are a few areas with ranch-style homes built in the 1980s. Large custom homes can run over $1 million, but the median home price in Coppell is around $650,000, significantly higher than the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area average of $399,000.

Coppell High School's football team went undefeated in the 2024 regular season. "Friday night football is a big deal," Ainsworth says. "There's a lot of community camaraderie surrounding the schools. It's a one high-school town."

Shopping, dining and a community garden in Old Town Coppell
"We don't have a lot of shopping and dining," Payne says of Coppell. "People love it and hate it for that same reason: we don't have a lot of outsiders coming in, but there's only a handful of restaurants." Georges Coffee + Provisions, Coppell Deli and Hard Eight BBQ are among the few dining options, which are located in Old Town Coppell. For shopping, it's a few miles to one of the area's best-known malls, Grapevine Mills, just off U.S. Highway 121 and Grapevine Mills Parkway. Among its 180 tenants are an AMC movie theater and national retailers, including Neiman Marcus and J. Crew.
The Coppell Farmers Market has over 35 vendors each Saturday in Old Town Coppell. "People come from all over," Ainsworth says. "It's a big draw." Residents can adopt a plot at a Coppell Community Garden, a city project. The multivenue Coppell Arts Center honors local artists and presents entertainment and cultural experiences, including a full calendar of concerts, theater, comedy and music. "The arts center is really fun. We don't need to go to downtown Dallas for theater," Payne says.
