Copperfield Realtor & Real Estate Agent — Your Guide to Copperfield, Houston TX 77095
I’m Kevan Pewitt, a REALTOR® and the broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty, a Texas real estate broker since 1989, and I help buyers and sellers as the Copperfield Realtor and real estate agent in Houston 77095. Copperfield is Friendswood Development’s master-planned community in unincorporated northwest Harris County, inside the City of Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, so there’s no City of Houston property tax. The appraisal district’s 2026 roll shows 5,881 recorded residential lots in seven village associations, 5,840 of them with a home, and the homes sold over the past year were built from 1980 to 2001, so every sale here is a resale. Six municipal utility districts serve the villages, and as of October 14, 2026 the combined 2026 tax rate runs from 2.181748 to 2.427308 percent for all but 170 edge lots (using each MUD’s 2025 rate, with Cy-Fair ISD’s rate pending the November 3 Proposition A vote). Over the 12 months to October 14, 2026, 161 Copperfield homes sold at a median of about $310,000, per HAR MLS. The facts here come from the appraisal district’s parcel records, the Harris County Tax Office rate table, the MUDs’ own orders and notices, Cy-Fair ISD’s school zone locator, the associations’ recorded management certificates, a FEMA flood-map test of all 5,881 lots, and the HAR MLS.

Working with a Copperfield REALTOR®
In Copperfield, the section a home sits in can change its tax bill. At the same $310,000 price with a homestead, the yearly tax bill runs about $4,000 in a MUD 163 section of Middlegate or Northmead and about $4,700 in Section 1 of the same villages, which sits in MUD 162. For every home on your list, I read the appraisal district record first, run the payment with that lot’s own MUD and WCID rates, and check the village’s current manager, because the state filings for four of the associations still name a former one. On a home built in the 1980s or 1990s, I go over the roof, HVAC, plumbing and foundation with you before we write the offer, and again at the inspection. One buyer put it this way: “Kevan has been very helpful in explaining all the steps and pointing out things we would have never seen on our own.” — Oma P., first-time buyer, Google.

Copperfield at a Glance
| Location | Houston 77095 mailing address; unincorporated Harris County inside the City of Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (no city property tax). The lots run from Barker Cypress Road on the west to the east edge of Easton Commons and Copperfield Place, and from FM 529 on the south up to West Road, with Highway 6 through the middle; about 24 road miles from Downtown |
| Community type | Friendswood Development master-planned community; 5,881 recorded residential lots in seven village associations on the 2026 appraisal roll, 5,840 with a home; first homes about 1979, and the homes sold in the past year were built 1980–2001; built out, with no new-construction sections |
| Median price | About $310,000 median sale price and $141 per square foot across the 161 homes sold in the 12 months to October 14, 2026 (HAR MLS, rounded); median 19 days on market |
| Price range | Closed prices over the past 12 months ran from just under $200,000 to the low $500,000s; on October 14, 2026, the 59 active listings ran from the low $200,000s to the high $400,000s, with a median list price of about $325,000 |
| Property tax | 2.181748% to 2.427308% combined for 2026 as of October 14, 2026, depending on which of six MUDs serves the lot (170 edge lots need a parcel check). Cy-Fair ISD’s adopted 1.1569 is subject to the November 3, 2026 Proposition A election, and the MUD rates are 2025’s until each district adopts |
| HOA | A mandatory village association for every home, plus the master Copperfield Community Association. The associations don’t publish their dues; active MLS listings on October 14, 2026 report about $615 to $900 a year, depending on the village. Recorded transfer fees run $275–$300 plus a $375 resale certificate |
| Schools | Cy-Fair ISD (TEA 2026 B, 86) — Fiest, Owens, Lowery, Copeland or Holmsley Elementary → Labay or Aragon Middle → Cypress Falls High B (85) or Langham Creek High B (88), depending on the village, per Cy-Fair ISD’s 2026-27 zoning tool; confirm the exact address |
| Flood | 28 of the 5,881 recorded lots, all in Middlegate, touch Zone AE on FEMA’s effective map, and none is half inside it. Zone AE is part of FEMA’s high-risk floodplain (at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, often called the 100-year floodplain, where a federally regulated or insured lender requires flood insurance). No other lot touches that floodplain; outside it is Zone X, FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available and a home can still flood. Check each address |
| Best for | Buyers who want an established, built-out community with village pools, parks and trails, a range of 1980s and 1990s resale homes, and Cy-Fair ISD campuses, and who will compare villages by MUD tax stack and HOA |
Figures are point-in-time and vary by village and address — verify before relying. Not legal or tax advice.
Where Copperfield Is
Copperfield’s recorded lots run about 3.5 miles east to west and 2 miles north to south. Barker Cypress Road is the west edge, with Westcreek on its east side and Westgate across the road. FM 529 is the south edge, with the lots on its north side. Northmead runs up to West Road on the north, and Copper Lakes sits across West Road at the northwest corner. The east edge is the far side of Easton Commons and Copperfield Place, with Hearthstone beyond. Highway 6 runs north to south through the middle: Copperfield Place, Easton Commons and the east parts of Middlegate and Northmead are east of it, and Southcreek, Southpoint, Southdown and Westcreek are west of it.
Every residential lot carries a 77095 address, and “Houston, TX 77095” is a mailing address only. Copperfield is unincorporated Harris County inside the City of Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, so the appraisal records carry no City of Houston tax line. Harris County, the MUDs, Harris County WCID 145 (a drainage and flood-control district), the Cy-Fair Fire Department’s emergency services district and the village associations provide the services, and the master association contracts a 24-hour Harris County Sheriff’s patrol.

Seven Villages, Six MUDs: How Copperfield Is Organized
Copperfield is one master plan, and a “village” here means one of its seven neighborhoods, each with its own deed restrictions, association, pools and parks. Southpoint belongs to the Southcreek association and Sommerall West to Westcreek’s. Easton Commons and Sommerall West are Copperfield villages even though their plats don’t carry the name. The village and the MUD on a home’s appraisal record set its schools, its water provider and its tax rate. These counts come from the appraisal district’s 2026 roll, the zoning from seven checks of Cy-Fair ISD’s 2026-27 locator in each of the 44 sections, and the MUDs from the TCEQ water-district map with every lot tested, all on October 14, 2026 (tap a village for its HOA, utility and school details):
| Village | Recorded lots | MUD (sections) | Elementary → Middle → High |
| Middlegate | 787 | MUD 162 (Sec 1), MUD 163 (Sec 2–4) | Fiest → Labay → Cypress Falls |
| Northmead | 956 | MUD 162 (Sec 1), MUD 163 (Sec 2–3) | Fiest → Labay → Cypress Falls |
| Southdown | 933 | MUD 162 (Sec 1), 163 (Sec 2–3), 186 (Sec 4, 6–8), 208 (Sec 5) | Lowery → Aragon → Langham Creek |
| Southcreek | 1,311 | MUD 163 (Sec 1–2), MUD 208 (Sec 3–11) | Lowery → Aragon → Langham Creek |
| Southpoint (Southcreek association) | 196 | MUD 186 | Lowery → Aragon → Langham Creek |
| Westcreek | 942 | MUD 264 (Sec 1–6) | Copeland or Holmsley → Aragon → Langham Creek |
| Sommerall West (Westcreek association) | 241 | MUD 264 | Holmsley → Aragon → Langham Creek |
| Copperfield Place | 263 | MUD 186 | Owens → Labay → Cypress Falls |
| Easton Commons | 252 | MUD 179 | Owens → Labay → Cypress Falls |
Every village except Westcreek and Sommerall West is also in Harris County WCID 145. 170 lots sit on a map edge, in Middlegate 3–4, Northmead 3, Southcreek 1–2 and 5–8, Westcreek 7, Easton Commons and Southdown 1, so for those the appraisal district record settles which districts bill the lot, and I read it before I quote a tax figure.
The Feel of the Area
Copperfield’s association describes a 2,000-plus-acre master plan with parks, pools, tennis courts, greenbelts and jogging trails. Each village is built around its own pool and park: Southcreek has two pools, four parks, a seasonal splash pad and more than five miles of walking trails; Westcreek has two pools; and Northmead, Southdown, Easton Commons and Copperfield Place each have a pool, with a gazebo and playground in Easton Commons’ central park. The master association’s Copperfield Community Center on Willow River Drive has a clubhouse for residents’ events and two baseball fields.

Copperfield Homes for Sale and What They’re Selling For
Copperfield is detached single-family homes, mostly one- and two-story brick. The homes sold over the past year were built from 1980 to 2001 (median 1987) and ran from about 1,100 to 4,100 square feet, with a median of about 2,240, on lots from about 4,300 to 15,400 square feet (median about 8,050). Bedrooms ran from two to five, with a median of four. The community is built out, with no builder program or model homes.
I pulled the HAR MLS numbers for Copperfield on October 14, 2026, across all the villages. Over the previous 12 months, 161 homes closed at a median of about $310,000 (about $305,000 after seller concessions), about $141 per square foot, and a median of 19 days on the market (32 days counting earlier listings of the same home). Closed prices ran from just under $200,000 to the low $500,000s, and the median sale came in at 99.1 percent of the list price. As of October 14, the MLS showed 59 active listings priced from the low $200,000s to the high $400,000s (median list about $325,000), with 13 more under contract. At the past year’s pace, that’s about 4.5 months of supply. Village, size and updates move a home’s price a long way from those medians, so I compare a home with recent sales in its own village and size range. Because Texas sale prices aren’t public record, I publish rounded medians, ranges and counts here and never a single home’s sale price.

What It Costs to Own in Copperfield
Property taxes. Cy-Fair ISD, the county units, Lone Star College and ESD 9 tax every Copperfield lot at one rate; what moves from section to section is the MUD and whether WCID 145 applies. These are the rates per $100 of value from the Harris County Tax Office table and appraisal district records, as of October 14, 2026:
| Taxing unit | 2025 rate per $100 | 2026 rate per $100 |
| Cypress-Fairbanks ISD | 1.0669 | 1.1569 (adopted; subject to the Nov 3, 2026 Proposition A election) |
| Harris County | 0.38096 | 0.4175 (adopted) |
| Harris County Flood Control District | 0.04966 | 0.05266 (adopted) |
| Port of Houston Authority | 0.0059 | 0.00603 (adopted) |
| Harris Health | 0.18761 | 0.19528 (adopted) |
| Harris County Dept. of Education | 0.004798 | not yet posted (2025 rate carried) |
| Lone Star College System | 0.106 | 0.1058 (adopted) |
| Harris County ESD 9 (Cy-Fair Fire Department) | 0.038831 | 0.045 (reported approved Sept 24, 2026; not yet on the tax office table) |
| Subtotal before the MUD and WCID | 1.840659 | 1.983968 |
Add the MUD’s rate, and WCID 145’s 0.04834 where it applies. None of the districts had adopted a 2026 rate on October 14, so these use each district’s 2025 rate. The dollar figures are at $310,000, the 12-month median sale price, rounded to the nearest $100:
| Stack | Recorded lots | Combined 2026 rate | No exemptions | With a homestead (under 65) |
| MUD 163 + WCID 145 | 1,693 | 2.181748 | about $6,800 | about $4,000 |
| MUD 186 + WCID 145 | 690 | 2.214198 | about $6,900 | about $4,000 |
| MUD 179 + WCID 145 | 244 | 2.247768 | about $7,000 | about $4,200 |
| MUD 264 | 1,140 | 2.356668 | about $7,300 | about $4,500 |
| MUD 208 + WCID 145 | 1,121 | 2.392308 | about $7,400 | about $4,600 |
| MUD 162 + WCID 145 | 823 | 2.427308 | about $7,500 | about $4,700 |
If Proposition A fails, Cy-Fair ISD’s 2026 rate drops to 1.043996, which takes 0.112904 off every combined rate. MUD 186 has proposed 0.19382 for 2026 (hearing October 20) and MUD 264 has proposed 0.40 (hearing October 21). With a homestead exemption, Cy-Fair ISD exempts 20 percent of the value plus $140,000, owners 65 or older or with a disability get another $75,000 off, and the over-65 school tax is frozen at the first qualifying year. The Harris County units each tax 20 percent less, Lone Star College 8 percent and ESD 9 10 percent. MUD 186 exempts 20 percent, plus $15,000 for owners 65 or older or with a disability; MUD 162 gives no general homestead exemption, only $25,000 for owners 65 or older or with a disability; MUD 163, 208, 264 and WCID 145 show no general homestead exemption; and the MUD 179 example applies none. For the edge lots, the appraisal district record can show a different district. For more, see my Texas homestead exemption guide and how MUD districts work in Texas. Pull the parcel up at hcad.org before you count on these numbers. This is general information, not tax advice.
HOA. Every home belongs to its village association, and the master Copperfield Community Association runs the community center and the Sheriff’s patrol contract. None of the eight associations publishes its annual dues, so these are the amounts real estate listing agents entered on 56 of the 59 active Copperfield listings on October 14, 2026. Treat them as a guide; the resale certificate carries the association’s own figure:
| Village | Annual dues on active listings | Most common |
| Middlegate | $625–$795 | $768 |
| Northmead | $615–$675 | $675 |
| Southdown | $700–$720 | $720 |
| Southcreek (incl. Southpoint) | $620–$765 | $750 |
| Westcreek | $743–$900 (Section 4 at $875–$900) | $800 and $900 |
| Sommerall West | about $800 | — |
| Copperfield Place | $698–$750 | — |
| Easton Commons | $715 | $715 |
Trash isn’t included in the dues; each homeowner opens a GFL Environmental account. The associations’ recorded management certificates list a $375 resale certificate and a transfer fee of $275 to $300, depending on the village (Southcreek’s lists account fees instead), and the master association lists no transfer fees. The certificates don’t say who pays each fee, so your contract and the TREC HOA addendum decide. On a resale, the title company orders the resale certificate as part of closing, and it shows the current dues for that home.
Copperfield Schools
The Texas Education Agency rated Cypress-Fairbanks ISD a B (86) for 2026. On October 14, 2026, Cy-Fair ISD’s 2026-27 school zone locator was checked at seven points inside each of Copperfield’s 44 recorded sections:
| Campus | 2026 TEA rating | Serves |
| Fiest Elementary | C (75) | Middlegate, Northmead |
| Owens Elementary | C (76) | Copperfield Place, Easton Commons |
| Lowery Elementary | A (91) | Southcreek, Southpoint, Southdown |
| Copeland Elementary | A (90) | Westcreek 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and part of 3 |
| Holmsley Elementary | B (81) | Westcreek 6, part of Westcreek 3, Sommerall West |
| Labay Middle | B (86) | Middlegate, Northmead, Copperfield Place, Easton Commons |
| Aragon Middle | B (89) | Southcreek, Southpoint, Southdown, Westcreek, Sommerall West |
| Cypress Falls High | B (85) | Middlegate, Northmead, Copperfield Place, Easton Commons |
| Langham Creek High | B (88) | Southcreek, Southpoint, Southdown, Westcreek, Sommerall West |
Cy-Fair ISD redraws attendance zones from time to time, so confirm a home’s campuses in Cy-Fair ISD’s school zone locator and the current ratings at txschools.gov. My Schools page has every Cy-Fair campus with ratings and maps.
Getting Around & Commute
Highway 6 runs through Copperfield and reaches US-290 about 2 miles north, Beltway 8 is about 7 miles east, and the Grand Parkway (SH 99, tolled) is about 15 miles northwest. FM 529 and West Road are the east-west roads. Google Maps gave these typical-traffic ranges for leaving a point inside the community on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 (checked October 14):
| From Copperfield to | Distance | Tuesday 7:30 AM | Tuesday 11:00 AM |
| METRO Cypress Park & Ride | ~7 mi | 14–24 min | 12–22 min |
| Beltway 8 at US-290 | ~7–8 mi | 14–35 min | 10–16 min |
| Energy Corridor | ~9 mi | 18–45 min | 16–40 min |
| SH 99 (Grand Parkway) at US-290 | ~14–15 mi | 20–35 min | 20–30 min |
| The Galleria | ~21 mi | 40 min–1 hr 20 min | 26–40 min |
| Downtown Houston | ~24 mi | 35 min–1 hr 15 min | 26–40 min |
| Texas Medical Center | ~26 mi | 50 min–1 hr 40 min | 30–50 min |
Bush Intercontinental Airport is about 26 miles (26 to 40 minutes at 11 AM) and Hobby Airport about 34 miles (40 minutes to 1 hour at 11 AM; 50 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes at 7:30 AM). Highway 6 passes under the Union Pacific tracks along US-290, but its frontage roads cross at grade, and so do Telge Road on the way to the Park & Ride and West Road near Eldridge Parkway on the morning route to Beltway 8. Try the drive once at your real commute hour before you make an offer.
Flood Risk — What to Check Before You Buy
Zone A, which includes Zone AE, is FEMA’s high-risk floodplain, often called the 100-year floodplain: the land has at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, and a federally regulated or insured lender requires flood insurance on a home there. Zone X is FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available, and a home outside the mapped floodplain can still flood. The shaded part of Zone X marks a 0.2 percent annual chance of flooding, sometimes called the 500-year floodplain.
On October 14, 2026, all 5,881 recorded lots were tested against FEMA’s effective map, panel 48201C0420P (effective November 15, 2019). 28 lots touch Zone AE, and none of them is half inside it: 25 in Middlegate Section 3, 2 in Middlegate Section 2 and one more Middlegate lot. No lot touches unnumbered Zone A or the regulatory floodway (the channel and nearby land that must stay open to carry floodwater). FEMA’s letter layer showed no LOMA or LOMR-F letters for Copperfield lots.
Every lot drains to Langham Creek in the Addicks Reservoir watershed. The Addicks dam is about 7 miles away in a straight line and the Barker dam about 8 miles, and WCID 145 exists to provide drainage and flood-control facilities for most of the villages. Risk is specific to the property, so check the address in FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and in the Harris County Flood Control District’s MAAPnext draft viewer, which shows the county’s proposed new maps. Read the seller’s disclosure, ask about the home’s claims history and price flood insurance for the specific house even in Zone X.
Things to Do Nearby
Inside Copperfield, the village pools, parks and trails are the everyday draw, with the community center’s baseball fields and Southcreek’s splash pad, open April 1 through October 31.
Next to Easton Commons, Easton Commons Nature Park is owned and maintained by MUD 179. Bear Creek Pioneers Park, a Harris County Precinct 3 park, sits south of FM 529 in the Addicks Reservoir. To the north, I’ve also written up Deputy Darren Goforth Park. For shopping and errands, grocery stores, restaurants and services line Highway 6 and FM 529, and HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress is on US-290.
Is Copperfield the Right Fit?
Copperfield suits a buyer who wants a pool and park in their own village, a 1980s or 1990s home at a median of about $310,000, and no City of Houston property tax. About 4.5 months of supply leaves time to compare one village with another.
Things to plan for: the MUD and WCID lines move the 2026 tax rate by about a quarter of a percentage point from one section to another, and Cy-Fair ISD’s share waits on the November 3 Proposition A vote. Dues come from the resale certificate, trash is a separate GFL account, and a home of this age deserves a careful inspection. Downtown is about 24 miles away, and a 7:30 AM trip can take well over an hour. Twenty-eight Middlegate lots touch Zone AE, and the whole community is in the Addicks watershed, so check each address.
To compare nearby, I’ve also written guides to Copper Lakes, Copper Village, Westgate and Sheffield.
Thinking of Selling?
What’s Your Copperfield Home Worth?
Start with a quick estimate from recent MLS sales. When I price a Copperfield listing, I compare it with closed sales in the same village and size range, then adjust for updates, the lot and the home’s MUD, since buyers here compare tax bills section by section.

Setting Up Utilities in Copperfield
Copperfield is big enough to have six main water districts and seven village associations, so the accounts you open depend on which village your home is in. Here’s how it works.
Water & sewer — find your MUD first. Almost every home gets water from one of six Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), and which one depends on your street. The Harris Central Appraisal District record for the home lists it, and so does the seller’s water bill. Four of the districts are run by H2O Consulting: MUD 162 (hcmud162.com) in Middlegate 1, Northmead 1 and Southdown 1; MUD 179 (hcmud179.org) in Easton Commons; MUD 186 (hcmud186.com) in Copperfield Place, Southpoint and parts of Southdown; and MUD 208 (harriscountymud208.com) in most of Southcreek and Southdown 5. For MUD 162, 186 and 208, H2O Consulting sets up service at its Highway 6 office with a notarized application and proof of ownership; MUD 179’s page has its own application. Two districts are run by Inframark: MUD 163 (hcmud163.org) in Middlegate 2–4, Northmead 2–3, Southcreek 1–2 and Southdown 2–3, and MUD 264 (Inframark’s MUD 264 page) in Westcreek and Sommerall West, where you can apply online. Most districts post their deposit and fees; for MUD 264, ask when you apply.
Trash & recycling. Trash isn’t part of your HOA dues or your water bill in Copperfield. You open your own account with GFL Environmental (gflenv.com), the hauler named on the association’s site; pickup and recycling days are posted at copperfield.org.
Electricity: you choose your provider. Copperfield is in the deregulated Texas market, so you pick your own retail electric provider at the state’s official marketplace, PowerToChoose.org. CenterPoint Energy (centerpointenergy.com) owns the wires and meter, so that’s who you call about an outage no matter whose name is on your bill. Set up your plan before closing so the power is on in your name when you get the keys.
Natural gas. CenterPoint Energy (centerpointenergy.com) is the gas utility, and it’s regulated, so there’s nothing to shop — you just open an account. Confirm the house you’re buying has a gas connection first.
Internet & TV. Choices vary street by street, and fiber can vary house to house. Check the exact address on the FCC National Broadband Map (broadbandmap.fcc.gov), then confirm with the provider before you schedule an install.
HOA. Every home belongs to its village association and to the master Copperfield Community Association, which runs the community center and the Sheriff’s patrol contract (copperfield.org). As of October 2026, Crest Management (crest-management.com) manages Middlegate, Westcreek (including Sommerall West), Easton Commons and the master association; Inframark (home.inframark.com) manages Northmead and Southdown; ACMP (acmpinc.com) manages Southcreek (including Southpoint); and SBB Management manages Copperfield Place. Each village’s page on copperfield.org has its pool details, forms and manager contact. The associations don’t publish their dues; recent MLS listings show about $615–$900 a year depending on the village, and your resale certificate at closing shows the current amount.
After you close. File your homestead exemption with the Harris Central Appraisal District at hcad.org — online or with HCAD’s app. It’s free, and you never need to pay a third party to do it. Property taxes arrive as separate bills: Harris County’s from the Harris County Tax Office, Cy-Fair ISD’s school tax from the district’s own tax office, and your MUD’s share (plus Harris County WCID 145, a drainage district, in most villages) from the district’s tax collector — Bob Leared Interests for MUDs 162, 186 and 208 and WCID 145, Wheeler & Associates for MUDs 179 and 264, or Tax Tech for MUD 163.
Utility providers, districts, and coverage vary by address and change over time — verify for your specific home before relying on any of the above. Verified October 14, 2026. Not legal or tax advice.
Quick Answers
What are the property taxes in Copperfield?
It depends on the MUD. As of October 14, 2026, the combined 2026 rate runs from 2.181748 percent (MUD 163 with WCID 145) to 2.427308 percent (MUD 162 with WCID 145) before exemptions, with MUD 186 at 2.214198, MUD 179 at 2.247768, MUD 264 at 2.356668 and MUD 208 at 2.392308. Those totals use Cy-Fair ISD’s adopted 1.1569, which depends on the November 3, 2026 Proposition A election, and each district’s 2025 rate until the districts adopt for 2026. On a $310,000 home with a homestead, that’s about $4,000 to $4,700 a year. There’s no City of Houston tax. The 170 edge lots can fall in a different district, so confirm the MUD and rates for a specific parcel at hcad.org.
Are property taxes in Copperfield higher than in the City of Houston?
About the same, and it depends on the MUD. For 2025, the latest year every taxing district has adopted a rate, a home inside Houston city limits and Houston ISD with no MUD paid about 2.1252 percent combined, City of Houston tax included. Copperfield’s 2025 rates ran from 2.038439 percent to 2.283999 percent: the MUD 163, MUD 186 and MUD 179 areas came in a little lower, and the MUD 264, MUD 208 and MUD 162 areas a little higher. Copperfield pays no city tax, and its MUD levy (plus WCID 145 everywhere but Westcreek and Sommerall West) takes that place. Exemptions differ by district too, so compare the bill for a specific address at HCAD.org rather than the rate alone. This is not tax advice.
What are the HOA dues in Copperfield, and what does a buyer pay at closing?
Each village has its own mandatory association, and none publishes its dues. Active MLS listings on October 14, 2026 show about $615 to $900 a year, most often $675 in Northmead, $720 in Southdown, $750 in Southcreek and $768 in Middlegate, and $875 to $900 on Westcreek Section 4 listings. The recorded certificates list a $375 resale certificate and a $275 to $300 transfer fee, depending on the village, and your contract decides who pays them. Trash is a separate GFL account. The title company orders the resale certificate, and the certificate for the specific home shows the current amounts.
What schools serve Copperfield?
Cy-Fair ISD (TEA 2026 B, 86), by village. Middlegate and Northmead go to Fiest Elementary (C, 75), Labay Middle (B, 86) and Cypress Falls High (B, 85); Copperfield Place and Easton Commons go to Owens Elementary (C, 76), Labay and Cypress Falls. Southcreek, Southpoint and Southdown go to Lowery Elementary (A, 91), Aragon Middle (B, 89) and Langham Creek High (B, 88); Westcreek and Sommerall West go to Copeland (A, 90) or Holmsley (B, 81) Elementary, Aragon and Langham Creek. Check your exact address in Cy-Fair ISD’s school zone locator before counting on a campus.
Is Copperfield in a flood zone?
Only 28 of the 5,881 recorded lots touch a high-risk zone. On FEMA’s effective map, those 28, all in Middlegate, touch Zone AE, part of FEMA’s high-risk floodplain (at least a 1 percent annual chance of flooding, often called the 100-year floodplain, where a federally regulated or insured lender requires flood insurance), and none of them is half inside it. No other lot touches that floodplain; outside it is Zone X, FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available and a home can still flood. Every lot drains to Langham Creek in the Addicks Reservoir watershed. Look up the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and ask about the home’s claims history.
What do homes in Copperfield sell for?
Per HAR MLS, 161 homes sold in the 12 months ending October 14, 2026, at a median of about $310,000 (about $141 per square foot) and a median 19 days on market, at a median 99.1 percent of list price. Closed prices ran from just under $200,000 to the low $500,000s. On October 14, 59 homes were active, with a median list price of about $325,000, about 4.5 months of inventory. A home’s village, size and updates move its price a long way from those medians, so compare it with recent sales in the same village and look it up on hcad.org.
Is Copperfield in the City of Houston?
No. Copperfield is unincorporated Harris County inside the City of Houston’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, and “Houston, TX 77095” is a mailing address only. The appraisal records carry no City of Houston tax line, and Harris County, the MUDs, WCID 145 and the village associations provide the services. Check the taxing units on the parcel’s record at hcad.org.
Are Easton Commons, Southpoint and Sommerall West part of Copperfield?
Yes. Easton Commons is one of Copperfield’s seven villages even though its plat doesn’t carry the Copperfield name, Southpoint belongs to the Southcreek Village association, and Sommerall West belongs to the Westcreek Village association, per copperfield.org and the Southcreek and Westcreek management certificates. Check the subdivision on the parcel’s record at hcad.org.
Is there new construction in Copperfield?
No. Copperfield is built out, the appraisal roll shows no new-construction sections, and the homes sold in the past year were built from 1980 to 2001, so every sale is a resale. Look up a home’s year built on hcad.org.
What does a real estate buyer’s agent cost in Copperfield?
It’s negotiable, and it’s set in writing before we tour homes: Texas requires a written buyer representation agreement before a real estate agent shows you a home, and it states what your real estate buyer’s agent will be paid. I’ve never had a buyer client pay it themselves. It has been covered by the seller, either in the listing or as a concession we negotiated in the offer. The only time a buyer would pay it is if you decide to buy a home where the seller won’t contribute. Sellers sometimes negotiate this point or change their position along the way, so you’ll know exactly where it stands before any purchase contract is executed, and whether to sign is always your decision. I’ll walk you through the numbers before you sign anything, and the full rules are in how real estate buyer’s agents get paid in Texas.
