One of the primary features of Coppell real estate is its proximity to the Dallas/Ft Worth International Airport, one of the world´s largest international airports with close to 60 million passengers annually. Coppell´s proximity to DFW airport has brought a tremendous potential for new development in the Coppell and Dallas real estate markets. It is approximately 14 miles from downtown Dallas and a “search” for Dallas homes or homes for sale in Dallas will usually list Coppell homes in the three and four hundred thousand category.
Coppell was established in 1853 and the Bethel Cemetery in Coppell is the home for graves of early Texas pioneers, one Revolutionary War veteran, veterans of the Civil War, some Indians, and several black slaves. It can trace its roots back to the early 1800s and is in the vicinity of the location where Sam Houston signed a treaty with the local Indians. Settlers, mostly of German or French descent, began moving into the area in the 1840s. By 1846, Dallas County was organized and city of Dallas was founded in 1856 and Coppell real estate became a part of the Dallas real estate market.

The community is bordered by Irving, Grapevine, and Carrollton and is northeast of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The area was on the original land grant of J. A. Simmonds. President Sam Houston and Republic of Texas troops camped on Grapevine Creek during negotiations with area Indian tribes in an effort to enlist their aid in defending the republic against attacks by Mexican troops in 1843.
The community grew slowly but steadily in the 1950s and in 1956 formed a city government, which established a city-zoning plan. By 1960 Coppell had six businesses and a population of 666. In 1962 the community was incorporated. In 1974 the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport opened and a municipal utilities district was established. In 1990 Coppell had a population of 16,881. The population was composed of primarily upper-middle-class homeowners with an average age of thirty-five, an average income of $66,000, and a house valued at $117,000. Today the house values are in the 3s and 4s, so if you are looking for Dallas real estate or homes for sale in Dallas that are close to downtown Dallas and are sure to appreciate, you have to consider Coppell.
