Pros and cons of Coppell after 7 years
So, I'm single, late 20s, and Average temperature is around 68--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $139,227, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $525,300, which is pretty steep. Crime rate is something to consider -Coppell sits at 59.3 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
