About Coventry

Part of Kent County in central Rhode Island, the 34,000-person city of Coventry was first settled in the early 18th century by a group of farmers looking to exploit the rich and fertile fields nearby. Only 17 miles southwest of Providence, Coventry acts both as a suburb and self-contained community. Although most resources such as shopping, banking, and entertainment are within easy reach, many residents elect to work in Providence for its better jobs and higher pay scales. Residents of a Coventry house or apartment for rent that choose not to work in downtown Coventry usually make the 30-minute drive into Providence daily. The TF Green International Airport is only 15 minutes east of the city and provides an extensive flight schedule to destinations across the nation, although many residents drive farther to fly out of Boston’s Logan International Airport that is usually much cheaper.

Residents of an apartment or home rental in Coventry adore the Annual Johnson's Pond Fireworks Show that is the largest community gatherings that is attended by almost the entire area. Johnson's Pond is noted as a great spot for fishing but was also ranked by Wakeboarding Magazine as the best spot for wakeboarding and watersports in Rhode Island. The recently-renovated and reconstructed Coventry Greenway is open to hikers and bikers looking for an adventurous 15-mile trail that cuts through the Rhode Island countryside and features spectacular views and awesome recreational areas. More traditionally, Coventry hosts one of the largest youth sport leagues in the state and offers programs for football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and softball.
