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.
