Waterside Estates / The Estates of Coppell
Custom and luxury enclaves inside a city that has run out of land
Waterside Estates and The Estates of Coppell are the higher-end custom and luxury enclaves in a city that is fully built out. Coppell stopped having developable land some time ago, which means these neighborhoods are not competing with anything new, and buyers who want size and finish inside Coppell ISD have a short and finite list of options. That scarcity is the defining economic fact of this market.
Price Range
Roughly $800K – $1.8M+ depending on lot and home, above Coppell's median sale price of about $634,620 (Redfin, May 2026, up 3.3% year over year in a metro where nearly every other market was falling). Homes citywide average 2 offers and about 60 days on market. Ask for current comps with an as-of month.

How Waterside Estates / The Estates of Coppell trades
Coppell was the exception in the metro in May 2026: its median rose 3.3% year over year while nearly everything around it fell. Being built out is a large part of why. With no new supply and a strong small district, demand has nowhere else to go, and that supports the top of the market unusually well. The counterweight is a thin buyer pool at these prices and homes now old enough to need investment.
Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- Homes from the late 1990s and 2000s are at the age where roofs, HVAC systems and pools all come due.
- Late-1990s and 2000s custom taste is dated to many buyers, and modernizing a house this size is a substantial project.
- Thin inventory means limited choice and limited negotiating room as a buyer.
- Airport proximity is an advantage for travel and a consideration for noise. Check the specific address under flight paths.
- Custom homes are harder to appraise where comparable sales are scarce.
