​

Pecan Hollow is an established Coppell neighbourhood built mainly in 1991 and 1992, on lots generally between about a fifth and three-tenths of an acre, with homes ranging from around two and a half thousand to over four thousand square feet across one, one-and-a-half and two-storey plans. Its association does very little and charges accordingly — which makes sense once you understand that the amenities residents use are the city's rather than the neighbourhood's. This page covers what that means for a buyer and what to check before making an offer.

What the neighbourhood is

Pecan Hollow sits in the 75019 postcode and Dallas County, along Pecan Hollow Drive, with the subdivision recorded across several blocks. Appraisal district records place construction mainly in 1991 and 1992, with brick traditional homes on established lots and mature tree cover.

The plan mix is wider than buyers expect for a neighbourhood built in such a short window — single-storey, one-and-a-half storey with the primary down, and two-storey homes all appear here, in sizes ranging by well over a thousand square feet. If a main-floor primary matters to you, search for it specifically rather than assuming.

​

The dues are low because the association does little

Listing records show dues billed annually at a nominal level, covering management only. That is not an oversight: there is no community pool, clubhouse or amenity package to fund here.

What residents use instead are the city's facilities — the library, parks and ponds, and the city's recreation and aquatic facilities are close enough that listings routinely describe them as within walking distance. That is a genuine advantage, and it is also the reason the comparison with a neighbourhood charging several hundred a year is not like for like: there, the dues buy amenities the association owns and must eventually replace.

​

Two practical consequences. Maintenance of your own property falls almost entirely to you. And the association has little in reserve by design, so confirm what it is actually responsible for before assuming anything is covered.

​

Note also that listing data for this neighbourhood is inconsistent — at least one portal record shows no association at all, while others name one with a management contact. Take the position from the resale certificate rather than a portal field.

​

Early-1990s homes: what to ask for

Homes of this age have generally been through at least one round of major system replacement and may be due another. Ask for records with dates:

• Roof age, and any claims or repairs following significant hail.

• HVAC systems and install dates — several homes here have had them replaced in recent years, which is worth confirming rather than assuming.

• Water heaters.

• Foundation performance and any repair history, with documentation and any transferable warranty.

• Plumbing and electrical, including whether any original materials remain.

• Windows, and the extent and date of any kitchen or bathroom renovation.

• Pool and equipment where present, which is common on these lots.

 

Get an independent inspection regardless of how a home shows. In a neighbourhood this consistent in age, the gap between a thoroughly updated house and an original one is where most of the price difference sits.

​

Lot and position

Records show parcels from roughly 8,500 to over 12,000 square feet, with corner lots among them. On homes of this size that difference is meaningful — it decides whether there is usable yard alongside a pool, and corner positions bring their own trade-offs in frontage and privacy.

Get a current survey showing boundaries, dimensions and easements, and walk the parcel. Mature trees are part of the appeal here, so look at their condition and proximity to the house and drives.

​

Schools

Coppell is served principally by Coppell ISD, which covers most of the city, though some addresses in and around Coppell fall into neighbouring districts. Confirm the district and the specific elementary, middle and high school assignments for the address with the district before you make an offer, since assignments change.

​

What to verify before you offer

• The recorded subdivision and block from the appraisal district record, and which association governs it.

• The association's resale certificate: whether dues are payable, what they cover, and what the association is responsible for.

• The district and the specific campuses, confirmed with the district.

• The full list of taxing units on the parcel and a tax certificate, so your lender builds the escrow estimate from real figures. A first-year bill may reflect the previous owner's assessed value and exemption status.

• A current survey showing boundaries, dimensions, easements and tree positions.

• System ages and renovation history, documented.

Common questions

When was Pecan Hollow built?

Mainly in 1991 and 1992, with some sources describing the range as late 1980s to early 1990s. Confirm the year built for a specific home from the appraisal district record.

Why are the association dues so low?

Because the association covers management only — there is no pool, clubhouse or amenity package to fund. Residents use the city's library, parks, ponds and recreation facilities nearby instead, which is why comparing these dues against an amenity-funding association is misleading.

Does Pecan Hollow have a homeowners association at all?

Listing records are inconsistent — most name one with a management contact, at least one shows none. Take the position from the resale certificate for the specific property rather than from a portal field.

What size are the homes and lots?

Homes range from roughly two and a half thousand to over four thousand square feet across one, one-and-a-half and two-storey plans, on parcels from about 8,500 to over 12,000 square feet. Both vary enough that specific comparison matters.

Are there single-storey homes here?

Yes, along with one-and-a-half storey plans that put the primary bedroom on the entry level. Both are less common in Coppell than two-storey construction, so search for them deliberately.

Which schools serve Pecan Hollow?

Coppell ISD serves most of the city. Confirm the specific campus assignments for the address with the district, since assignments change and not every address in and around Coppell is in the same district.
