Old Town: a small, newer district built around a square
Coppell's downtown is Old Town, on the city's west side around Main Street, Bethel Road, Houston Street and S. Coppell Road. Most of it was built after 2007, beside a handful of older buildings.
The center is The Square at Old Town and its splash fountain at 768 W. Main St., where the Saturday farmers market sets up. George Coffee + Provisions (462 Houston St.) and Twisted Root Burger Co. were both open in late 2025. The Coppell Arts Center (505 Travis St.) opened in 2021. Heritage Park (700 S. Coppell Rd.) holds the historical museum and the restored 1904 Kirkland House.
Old Town is small. In 2023 city officials said it lacked the traffic and visibility of a downtown like McKinney's. In November 2025 the city was weighing a $1.3 million pocket park with a stage on a vacant lot next to Twisted Root.
The calendar: Saturday market, July 4 at the lake, December tree lighting
The Coppell Farmers Market runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. at 768 W. Main St., Jan. 10 to Dec. 19 in 2026. EarthFest, the spring environmental fair, is held in late April at Coppell Nature Park.
The biggest single night is Celebrate Coppell: Party in the Park on July 4 at Andrew Brown Park East. It has a parade, music and fireworks over the lake, and Parkway Boulevard backs up. October brings Flick or Treat and Scare on the Square. The Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting, with a drone show, is in early December at Andrew Brown Park East.
Parks and trails: one big park on Parkway, nature on Denton Creek
A 2026 relocation guide counts 17 parks on 545 acres, plus 23+ miles of multi-use trails and 5 miles of nature trail.
Andrew Brown Park, in three sections, has a lake and most of the city's softball, baseball and soccer fields. The CORE (234 E. Parkway Blvd.) sits beside it, with fitness space and indoor and outdoor pools. Coppell Nature Park (367 Freeport Pkwy) covers 66 acres along Denton Creek. Next to it, Wagon Wheel Park has ballfields, a cricket pitch and a tennis and pickleball center (950 Creekview Dr.). The city also has two dog parks.
Riverchase Golf Club (700 Riverchase Dr.) is a public 18-hole course. It was listed for sale in 2024. Grapevine Lake's south shore is about 10 minutes from Old Town by car, and North Lake sits just south of the city line in Dallas's Cypress Waters area.
Errands: most of it on Denton Tap and Sandy Lake
Coppell has several full grocery stores inside the city. They are Tom Thumb (106 N. Denton Tap Rd.), Kroger (950 E. Sandy Lake Rd.), Sprouts Farmers Market (110 W. Sandy Lake Rd.) and a Market Street on the 700 block of N. Denton Tap Rd. Pharmacies include two CVS stores, a Walgreens (313 N. Denton Tap Rd.) and counters at Tom Thumb and Market Street.
Methodist Legacy ER and Urgent Care (330 S. Denton Tap Rd.) runs a 24-hour ER and a 7 a.m.-9 p.m. urgent care in one building, with lab and imaging. A separate Coppell ER at 720 N. Denton Tap closed in early 2024. The nearest full hospitals are outside the city. They include Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Irving (1901 N. MacArthur Blvd., Irving) and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Grapevine (1650 W. College St., Grapevine).
City Hall is at 255 E. Parkway Blvd. in Town Center, next to the Cozby Library and Community Commons (177 N. Heartz Rd.) and the police station (130 Town Center Blvd.).
Schools: mostly Coppell ISD, but check the address
Most of the city is in Coppell ISD. The district had 13,056 students in 2026 and earned an A (93) in TEA's 2026 ratings. Of its 15 rated campuses, 12 got an A and three elementaries (Austin, Cottonwood Creek and Denton Creek) got a B. The district has 10 elementaries, three middle schools, a ninth-grade campus, Coppell High School and New Tech High @ Coppell. Some of its campuses are in Irving's Valley Ranch and in Dallas. Pinkerton Elementary closed in 2025. In October 2025 trustees voted 5-2 against closing Town Center Elementary as the district worked through a budget deficit.
Some Coppell addresses are in other districts. The Riverchase area, east of MacArthur and south of Sandy Lake, is in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. North of SH 121 in Denton County, including Coppell Greens, is in Lewisville ISD. A small area is in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. Confirm the district for any specific address.

The tax bill is the biggest hidden cost
On the Dallas County side, a Coppell home pays five taxing units: Coppell ISD at 0.9819, the city at 0.4450, Dallas County at 0.2155, Parkland Hospital at 0.2120 and Dallas College at 0.1066. All rates are per $100 of value. Together that is 1.96% before exemptions, lower than Irving, Carrollton, Farmers Branch or Dallas.
The school district takes $140,000 off a homestead's value, and the city takes 5%. Owners 65 and older get a $100,000 city exemption, and Dallas County and Parkland give the same amount. Dallas County, Parkland and Dallas College each take 20% off a homestead.
At the ACS median home value of $560,500, the bill comes to about $9,490 a year, or $741 a month. That is an effective rate of about 1.59%. The same house as a rental would owe about $10,990. Coppell ISD adopted 0.9857 for 2026, a small increase.
Your school district changes the bill
Four school districts reach into Coppell. Coppell ISD covers most of the city. Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD covers the east side, including Riverchase. Lewisville ISD covers the small Denton County part, including Coppell Greens. A part of the Dallas County side is in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD.
On the same $560,500 homestead, the estimate is about $9,350 a year in CFBISD and about $9,010 in GCISD. In the Denton County part, Lewisville ISD's higher rate is offset by Denton County's lower county rate, and the total comes to about $8,110. Check the district for each address.
No MUDs or PIDs found
Unlike newer suburbs to the north, Coppell has no MUD or PID on the Dallas County Tax Office's 2025 district list. Most homes pay only the base rates above. Confirm on the appraisal record before you buy.
Water, sewer, trash and drainage
The city bills water, sewer, trash and drainage on one bill. Water starts at $21.53 a month for a standard meter, then $3.13 per 1,000 gallons up to 15,000 gallons, with higher tiers above that. Sewer is $24.30 plus $2.43 per 1,000 gallons, based on your winter average. Rates last rose in February 2024, after increases from Dallas Water Utilities and the Trinity River Authority.
City staff put average residential use at 14,000 gallons a month. At that level, water runs about $62. Add sewer, trash and drainage, and a typical bill is around $130 to $140. Trash through Republic Services is mandatory and costs $26.51 a month from October 2026. The drainage fee was $5 a month as of 2023. Residents 65 and older or disabled get 10% off water and sewer.
Electric, gas and internet
All of Coppell is on Oncor lines, so residents shop retail plans. In late October 2026, the cheapest 12-month plans listed for Coppell were about 10.1¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh, or about $101 a month. Atmos Energy supplies natural gas.
Internet options are wide. FCC data shows Frontier fiber at 98% of Coppell locations and Spectrum at 99%, with Astound and AT&T fiber in parts of town. Astound advertises a gig plan at $45 a month with autopay.
HOA, commute and rent
HOA dues are modest in most of Coppell. Recent listings show $275 a year in Riverchase Estates, $403 in Villages of Coppell and about $1,200 to $1,400 in Fairways at Riverchase. Some older sections have no HOA.
The average commute is about 24 minutes. Coppell is not a DART member city. NTTA toll roads cost 22¢ a mile with a TollTag. The ACS median gross rent was $1,851 in the 2023 estimate.

What’s coming
Public projects that will change daily life in Coppell: new jobs, roads, schools and places to go. Every project links to its source.
DFW Airport Terminal F
DFW is building Terminal F with 31 new gates for American Airlines, which is investing $4B; the first phase is expected in 2027 as part of a $12B airport capital program.
Why it matters: More gates and flights at the region's main airport.
Dallas County homelessness tax vote
County Prop A would raise the tax rate to $0.24865 per $100 from $0.2155 to fund homelessness reduction, incl. mental health treatment, support services and encampment resolution.
Why it matters: Higher county tax bill for Dallas County homeowners if it passes.

From farm stop to airport suburb
Coppell started as Gibbs Station, a farm settlement in northwest Dallas County, and took its current name in 1892. It incorporated in 1955 and had 666 residents in 1960.
DFW Airport opened on its southern edge in 1974. Over the next 25 years Coppell filled in fast: 3,826 people in 1980, 16,881 in 1990 and 35,958 in 2000. By then nearly all land zoned for homes had been built on.
Population: flat to slightly down
The 2020 Census counted 42,983 people. Census Bureau estimates put the city at 42,831 in July 2020 and 41,386 in July 2025, a drop of about 3%. NCTCOG uses a different method and estimates 43,224 for January 2026, almost unchanged from a year earlier.
Either way, Coppell is not adding residents in any meaningful number. NCTCOG's last long-range forecast, from 2017, puts household population at about 43,800 in 2045. The city itself says it is nearing build-out and that future change will come from infill and redevelopment.
Housing: a built-out city
Census permit data show Coppell permitted 908 housing units in 2000, including 572 apartments. Since 2018 it has permitted fewer than 50 a year, and only 83 units in total from 2020 to 2025. Every unit permitted since 2006 has been a single-family home.
The one active new-home community inside city limits is Blackberry Farm, a gated Holmes Builders project of 63 homes on Windmill Drive, priced from about $1.7 million to $2.5 million. Most new housing in the Coppell ZIP code is next door in Cypress Waters, which is part of Dallas but sits in Coppell ISD. There, Billingsley has about 3,100 apartments leased, 375 more under construction and 87 townhome lots platted.
Council has turned down denser proposals, including 217 age-restricted apartments in 2024 and 71 condos near Belt Line Road and Sanders Loop in December 2024. The upcoming 2040 Comprehensive Master Plan will set the rules for redevelopment, starting with Old Town and major gateways.
What keeps demand steady
Jobs are close. The Coppell ZIP code had about 61,800 private-sector jobs in 2023, and the DFW Airport ZIP next door had about 63,200. Amazon, Uline, The Container Store and other distribution centers sit in southwest Coppell. Mr. Cooper's headquarters is in Cypress Waters.
Coppell left DART in 1989, but the Silver Line opened in October 2025 with a station at Cypress Waters, just south of the city line, that includes a park-and-ride. Locally, South Belt Line Road reopened in 2024 and Royal Lane is being rebuilt to I-635, with completion expected in 2027.
Schools: past the peak
Coppell ISD enrollment peaked at 13,371 in 2023-24 and was 13,010 in 2025-26. The district's fall 2025 forecast falls to about 11,000 by 2034-35, as fewer young children live in district homes and land runs out. The district closed Pinkerton Elementary for 2025-26.
Voters approved a $249 million bond in 2016 by 91 votes and all four parts of a $321.5 million bond in May 2023, mostly for repairs, safety and technology. Coppell ISD also serves Valley Ranch and Cypress Waters. Eastern Coppell, including Riverchase, is in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, so check the district for any address.
Values and incomes
Census survey data show the median owner-estimated home value rising from $300,300 (2011-2015) to $560,500 (2020-2024). Median household income rose from $111,817 to $146,235 over the same periods.
Because almost no homes are being added, these gains mostly reflect existing homes gaining value, unlike fast-growing suburbs where new construction lifts the median. The share of homes that are owner-occupied was about 69% in 2020-2024.
