    Uptown Living

    State Thomas party pad has everything a Dallas urban dweller desires

    The for-sale townhome at 3009 State St. has the best of everything, starting with its location in the State Thomas neighborhood. If you work downtown, the office is only minutes away; it can hardly be called a commute. Better still, you can walk to some of Uptown’s hottest restaurants and bars.

    “The location is about as stellar as it gets in Uptown,” Rogers Healy and Associates listing agent Tyler LeBaron told Candy’s Dirt. “Just steps away from staple food and beverage hangouts such as Standard Pour and great hidden gems like Si Tapas, this location has all the walkability any urban-dwelling millennial could require — and then some.”

    The townhome has been renovated top to bottom in the last two years, and its transitional design has a wide appeal. Along with in-demand hardwood floors, Carrara marble countertops, Viking stainless steel appliances and a Nest thermostat, there are fun flourishes like a chalkboard wall in the living room and tree-patterned wallpaper in the kitchen. Some fixtures, like the faucets in the master bath and the pendant light hanging over the kitchen island, have a retro feel.

    All told there is 2,010 square feet, with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. There really isn’t a thing to do but move in your furniture. Also handy is the two-car garage. We do love our cars in Dallas, after all, no matter how close we are to where we want to go.

    Although it has a lot in the way of competition, the home’s best feature might be the rooftop deck. It has all the party pad essentials: pergola, grill, bar fridge, ceiling fan and room for ample seating. It’s also wired for a wall-mount TV.

    Is there a view from up there? Of course; there is a clear shot of downtown. And there had better be for its $625,000 price tag.

    Not a thing to complain about in this bathroom.

    Dallas-area suburb ranks as 3rd best place to live in Texas in 2025

    Coppell is the No. 2 best suburb to live in Texas, and No. 5 nationwide.

    The Dallas-Fort Worth mid-city of Coppell has been ranked the third best place to live in Texas in 2025 by rankings and review website Niche.com.

    The survey determined the best places to live in based on crime rates, public school rankings, the local cost of living, job opportunities, and more using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, and others.

    This isn't the first time Coppell has entered the limelight for its livability: Travel + Leisure ranked the city among its top five best American suburbs to live in for 2024.

    In Niche's national rankings of the best places to live in the U.S., Coppell ranked 42nd overall.

    The city is situated about 20 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, directly north of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

    The suburb boasts a population of more than 42,000 residents, and Niche gave it an "A-plus" rating thanks to its family friendliness, its high-ranking public schools, job market, nightlife, and more.

    "Living in Coppell offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes," Niche says. "In Coppell there are a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Many families live in Coppell and residents tend to have moderate political views."

    Coppell is also home to a shiny brand new Trader Joe's, which is the newest location from the national cult-favorite grocery chain to open in Dallas-Fort Worth since 2012.

    Despite it's bustling population, many residents praise the city's close-knit community feel.

    "Coppell is a beautiful, quiet and crime free suburb out of Dallas," one reviewer wrote. "Very close to all kinds of amenities and restaurants. University of North Texas, Dallas is close by and couple of other colleges which is wonderful for us since we are a family of 6. The rush hour traffic could be nuisance at times."

    A Coppell home is worth a median $525,300, which is far higher than the national median home value of $303,400. Median rent prices land are just under $1,900 per month.

    Coppell was the only Dallas-Fort Worth suburb to make it into the top 10 best places to live in Texas, with several others earning spots among the top 25: University Park (No. 12); Colleyville (No. 13); Frisco's Preston Highlandsneighborhood (No. 13); Southlake (No. 15); Frisco proper (No. 18); Flower Mound (No. 19); Timberbrook in Plano (No. 20); and Richardson's Canyon Creek North (No. 24) and Sherrill Park North/Foxboro Addition (No. 25) neighborhoods.

    The top 10 best neighborhoods to live in Texas in 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Cinco Ranch in Houston
    • No. 2 – Triangle State in Austin
    • No. 3 – Coppell
    • No. 4 – Alamo Heights, San Antonio
    • No. 5 – The Woodlands
    • No. 6 – Sugar Land
    • No. 7 – Taylor Lake Village, Houston
    • No. 8 – Museum Park, Houston
    • No. 9 – Neartown - Montrose, Houston
    • No. 10 – Midtown Houston
