Old Town Coppell

The walkable historic core, where Coppell actually feels like a small town.

Old Town sits on Coppell's original townsite, the patch of ground the city grew out of before it incorporated in 1962. Today it's the closest thing North Texas has to a true walkable town center: a square ringed by local restaurants, boutiques, the Coppell Arts Center, and the Saturday Coppell Farmers Market. The housing here is a deliberate mix. You'll find newer craftsman-style homes and townhomes built out through the 2010s alongside older stock, many with front porches and brick facades meant to echo the district's heritage. Because Coppell is land-locked and essentially built out, Old Town is one of the few pockets where you'll still see relatively recent construction, but inventory is thin and turns quickly. Buyers trade yard size for the ability to walk to dinner, coffee, and the market.

Old Town Coppell: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Old Town Coppell actually historic, or is it a new development styled to look old?
Both, honestly. The district sits on Coppell's genuine original townsite and carries real heritage, but much of the current housing and the square's retail were built or rebuilt from the 2000s onward as the city invested in the area. It reads as authentic small-town Texas without pretending every building is a century old.
Will I give up a lot of yard to live here?
Usually, yes. Lots skew smaller than in Coppell's estate neighborhoods, and townhome product has little to no private yard. The trade is walkability - the farmers market, restaurants, and the arts center are a stroll away. If a large lot is a priority, look at Northlake Woodlands or Riverchase instead.
What schools would my kids attend?
Most Old Town addresses fall in Coppell ISD and commonly feed Town Center Elementary, Coppell Middle School West, and Coppell High School. Attendance zones can shift and vary block to block. Confirm your exact address with the Coppell ISD boundary tool.
