Yes, a previous owner planted those darn Bradford Pears in our front yard. (My other neighbors have live oaks, and I am jealous...) The lots down by the lake have HUGE trees. When you get into the price range that the OP is looking for, you will find the larger lots either out near the lake, or in SW Grapevine near Parr Park. The houses in Parr park area are bigger and newer, while the ones by the lake are generally older, but you will find occasional newer homes. The lake lots that back up to the Corps of Engineers property are VERY sought-after.

Colleyville might have something in that price range. It is definitely worth taking a look. Their lots also tend to be larger.

I would not recommend Keller or Southlake due the the construction right now. After the DFW Connector project is finished in 5 years, then I would recommend them. And yes, IMHO the traffic around Grapevine Mills Mall to get into Flower Mound is awful.

Traffic during peak times is bad around most funnel locations in DFW. After the DFW connector project is completed the underpass to 2499 should automatically ease up the traffic to and from Flower Mound. Even now during peak times its pretty good compared to 635/75 or 35/ 820. For Coppell we take 121 business into Denton Tap road- its very near. Check this route to your office location in Coppell. Suggest you actually commute from a neighborhood of your choice and compare.

You can also access most of Grapevine from Coppell by taking Airfield Drive across the top of DFW. No need to get on 114 at all! We can actually get to the terminals at DFW without even getting on a highway!
