Living in Coventry
Coventry is the largest town in Rhode Island by land area, and it changes character as you drive west: dense neighborhoods near the West Warwick line, lake communities around Johnson Pond and Tiogue Lake, then farms, forest, and Nicholas Farm at the far end.
It is a strong value market — buyers routinely get more house and more land here than in the coastal communities to the south, with the Coventry Greenway and lake access as a bonus.
