​
Stonemeade Estates is a mid-1990s Coppell neighbourhood with a wider range of homes than most — single-storey plans under two and a half thousand square feet through to two-storey homes approaching five thousand, on lots from roughly a fifth to a third of an acre. It also has the messiest published association data of any neighbourhood in the city: the county is recorded wrongly in at least one state-linked directory, the management contact varies by source, and the dues appear as both an annual and a monthly figure with different inclusions. None of that is a problem once you know to go to the source. This page covers what to check.

What the neighbourhood is
Stonemeade Estates sits in the 75019 postcode, with streets including Stonemeade Way, Crooked Tree Court, Brushy Creek Trail and part of North Heartz Road. Appraisal records show homes built mainly between 1994 and 1997, in brick traditional styles.
The range is genuinely wide. Records show single-storey homes around two and a half thousand square feet alongside two-storey homes of four and a half thousand and more, on parcels from about 8,500 square feet to a third of an acre. Two homes here can be very different properties, so comparison needs to happen at the plan and lot level rather than across the neighbourhood name.
For buyers who want single-level living, that is worth knowing: one-storey plans of real size are uncommon in Coppell, and this is one of the neighbourhoods where they exist.
The association data is inconsistent, so go to the certificate
Published sources disagree on almost every detail of this association:
-
One directory records the association in Denton County, while appraisal records for these homes are Dallas County.
-
Dues appear in one place as an annual figure covering management, and in another as a monthly figure covering management and structural maintenance.
-
The management company named on one listing differs from the contact details published elsewhere, and one listed phone number carries an area code from a different part of the state.
-
Published transfer fees and resale certificate costs vary.
None of this means anything is wrong with the association. It means the aggregators are unreliable, which is true across Coppell and unusually visible here. Before the option period ends, obtain the resale certificate and governing documents and confirm the current dues and billing cycle, exactly what they cover — particularly whether any structural or exterior maintenance is included, since that changes the comparison with other neighbourhoods — the reserve position, any assessment history, who manages the association now, and the rules on exterior alterations, fencing, parking, letting and pets.
Also confirm what the transfer and resale certificate fees are and who pays them, since those are real closing costs and the published figures here are not reliable.
Mid-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.
-
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.
Get an independent inspection regardless of how a home shows. With a range this wide, a renovated large two-storey and an original single-storey are different purchases entirely, and the documentation is what separates them.
Lots
Records show parcels from about 8,500 square feet to a third of an acre, with court and cul-de-sac positions among them. Frontage and depth vary too, so a parcel of similar acreage can be shaped quite differently.
Get a current survey showing boundaries, dimensions and easements, and walk the lot before deciding between two otherwise similar homes.
Schools
Listing records cite Coppell ISD with Town Center Elementary, Coppell Middle North and Coppell High School for homes in this area. Those are campuses recorded on individual listings rather than a district confirmation, and assignments change.
Confirm the district and the exact elementary, middle and high school assignments for the specific address with Coppell ISD before you make an offer. Coppell is served principally by Coppell ISD, though some addresses in and around the city fall into neighbouring districts.
What to verify before you offer
-
The recorded subdivision, block and lot from the appraisal district record, along with the county, year built and parcel size.
-
The association's resale certificate: dues, cycle, inclusions, reserves, assessment history, rules, and the transfer and certificate fees.
-
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 and easements.
-
System ages and renovation history, documented.
Common questions
When was Stonemeade Estates built?
Mainly between 1994 and 1997. Confirm the year built for a specific home from the appraisal district record rather than a listing summary.
Why is the association listed in Denton County?
At least one directory records it that way, while appraisal records for homes here are Dallas County. Directory data on associations is frequently inaccurate; the appraisal district record and the resale certificate are the reliable sources.
What are the dues and what do they cover?
Published figures disagree in both amount and frequency, and differ on whether any structural maintenance is included. Take the current position from the resale certificate for the specific property, and ask about transfer and certificate fees at the same time.
Are there single-storey homes here?
Yes, including plans of meaningful size, which is relatively uncommon in Coppell. If single-level living matters to you, search for it specifically.
How big are the lots?
From about 8,500 square feet to a third of an acre, with varying frontage and depth and some court positions. Compare specific parcels and read the survey.
Which schools serve Stonemeade Estates?
Listings cite Coppell ISD with Town Center Elementary, Coppell Middle North and Coppell High School. Confirm the exact assignments for the address with the district, since listing data is not a district confirmation and assignments change.
