    Laid-back Dallas suburb named 5th best in U.S. by Travel + Leisure

    Coppell, Dallas suburb

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

    City of Coppell, TX Municipal Government / Facebook

    The Dallas-Fort Worth city of Coppell has new bragging rights: It was declared the No. 5 best American suburb to live in by a recent Travel + Leisure report.

    The report analyzed feedback from Realtors and data from "recent livability rankings" to determine the 10 best U.S. suburbs with the most "affordable housing, top-rated schools, and excellent job opportunities."

    Johns Creek, Georgia (located 30 miles outside Atlanta) claimed the title as the No. 1 best American suburb to live in. The Houston suburb of Cinco Ranch came in at No. 2.

    Coppell was described in the report as a quieter alternative to the hustle and bustle of Dallas-Fort Worth, with average value of a home at more than $643,000 in July. The suburb's hot housing market means available homes go from on sale to pending in just six days, according to the Zillow Home Values Index.

    Coppell's status as a commuter city, and its residents' laid-back lifestyles, are two of the main reasons families flock to the city over any others in Dallas-Fort Worth, the report said.

    "[Coppell is] conveniently located within a short distance to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and makes a wonderful location for those who travel for business and pleasure," said Deb Borrell, executive vice president of relocation at Allie Beth Allman & Associates, in the report.

    Families can also take advantage of the many high-ranking schools in Coppell Independent School District, which are some of the best public high schools in Texas, according to Niche.

    "Today, half of all Americans live in suburbs of different densities, driven by rising costs in cities plus a desire for more space and a laid-back lifestyle," the report said. "Because of that shift, suburbs are now more racially diverse than ever, offering a wide range of amenities like excellent restaurants, shops, and entertainment, but also top-rated public schools, medical centers, and recreational facilities."

    The city has an active arts and entertainment scene, thanks to the always-busy Coppell Arts Center and nearby Sound at Cypress Waters. NBA star Monta Ellis recently opened a new elite basketball academy in Coppell. And its dining and shopping scene is newly buzzy, with a new kind of ramen restaurant choosing Coppell for its local debut, and a Trader Joe's grocery store and Tim Horton's coffee-and-doughnut shop on the way.

    Dallas suburbs have been on a roll in national surveys lately: Flower Mound recently ranked the No. 29 most livable small U.S. city; University Park and Southlake were listed among the wealthiest American suburbs; and McKinney was just ranked the No. 4 best city in the nation for renters.

    The top 10 best suburbs to live in, according to Travel + Leisure, are:

    • No. 1 – Johns Creek, Georgia
    • No. 2 – Cinco Ranch, Texas
    • No. 3 – Okemos, Michigan
    • No. 4 – North Bethesda, Maryland
    • No. 5 – Coppell, Texas
    • No. 6 – Brookline, Massachusetts
    • No. 7 – Brentwood, Mississippi
    • No. 8 – Carmel, Indiana
    • No. 9 – Short Pump, Virginia
    • No. 10 – Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania

    A sprawling, 13-acre waterfront estate about two hours south of Dallas is hitting the auction block. Bidding on the Oxbow Overlook estate, just outside the Central Texas town of Belton, is scheduled to start February 13 on the Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions website.

    The sale process will conclude February 28 when the estate is featured at ModaMiami, a luxury event hosted by South Florida’s Biltmore Miami-Coral Gables.

    The property, at 8536 Armstrong Rd., is co-listed at $5.95 million by Debbie Stevenson of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding will start at $2 million to $2.5 million.

    “This incomparable offering perfectly captures the essence of refined Hill Country living,” Stevenson says. “From its serene creekside setting and acres of privacy to its remarkable architectural details, Oxbow Overlook delivers a level of craftsmanship and lifestyle that is rarely available.”

    Built in 2001 of native limestone and stone, the French Provincial-inspired main house boasts a 24-foot entry wall made of iron and glass, and a grand foyer crowned by a 31-foot copper dome ceiling. The ceiling hovers above an oak staircase with copper accents.

    Other highlights of Oxbow Overlook’s nearly 7,000-square-foot main house include:

    • Six bedrooms
    • Five full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms
    • Seven fireplaces
    • Three laundry rooms
    • Wet bar
    • Eat-in kitchen
    • Elevator access to second story
    • Home office
    • Game room
    • Exercise pool with swim jets and spa
    • Outdoor kitchen
    • Covered and open patios
    • Coffered and beamed ceilings
    • Crown molding
    • Indoor and outdoor fireplaces
    • Generac backup generator

    The property includes a separate 3,118-square-foot carriage house.

    Oxbow Overlook is close to Belton Lake, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Salado, and Temple.

    “Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, creekside walls, and outdoor living spaces conform to the bluff’s natural curve, offering spectacular views across the property and showcasing thoughtful conveniences at every turn,” Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions says.
