Copperfield, Texas
Copperfield is a series of master-planned subdivisions in unincorporated northwest Harris County, Texas, United States. The community, developed by Friendswood Development Company, has 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) of land.
Cyndee Smith, a retail broker with the Shelby/Estus Retail Group, stated in a 2005 Houston Business Journal article that the intersection of Texas State Highway 6 and Farm to Market Road 529 "is like ground zero" in terms of retail activity for Copperfield.
Horsepen Bayou and its tributaries are within the community.
Friendswood Development Company bought 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) at the corner of Texas State Highway 6 and Farm to Market Road 529 from the Gus Wortham estate in 1977. Two years later the first houses in Copperfield had been built and sold. In 1989 Friendswood Development bought an additional 260 acres (110 ha) and continued building houses into the 1990s. In 1991 Standard Pacific of Houston had acquired 70 acres (28 ha) in Copperfield from Friendswood Development and planned to build 265 houses in Copperfield Place Village, a community within Copperfield.
In July 2009 some residents asked for additional police presence after multiple burglaries occurred. The Harris County Sheriff's Office stated that the number of residential burglaries for the first half of 2009 in the area was less than the equivalent number in 2008.
Copperfield has deed restrictions intending to preserve what Katherine Feser of the Houston Chronicle refers to as a "consistent look." The subdivision prohibits billboards from appearing on commercial frontage. In 2000 the community had an annual maintenance fee of $280 per year per household.
The community has 24-hour Sheriff's Patrol through Harris County and additional paid contract through the Association.
The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department serves Copperfield.
