Coventry, RI is a popular place to live! It is the largest town (area wise) in the smallest state. If you are thinking of moving to Coventry, RI, here are some things to consider. Property taxes are average for the state of Rhode Island. Coventry, RI has two main areas, “In town” and “Western.” “In town” refers to the centrally located neighborhoods such as Blackrock, Hunter’s Crossing and Wood Estates. Western is more rural, Horses and farm animals are permitted, and properties are spread out and much more private. Coventry is also home to Johnson’s pond. Many homes in Wood Estates are waterfront.

Events are held throughout the summer on the pond, including Fourth of July Fireworks and a water skiing show.

Other Things to Do in Coventry:
If you are looking for restaurants or nightlife, you will need to head out of town. While there are a few good family restaurants, the selection is quite limited. Two of the popular restaurants are Dragon Palace for awesome Chinese and Old Theater Diner for classic American meals. I also really like the Bean Barn for coffee and breakfast sandwiches.
Most of the shopping is located either on Tiogue Avenue or in the Center of New England. There is a Stop and Shop on Tiogue Avenue, and a Super Walmart, and BJ’s located in the Center of New England. If you are located in Western Coventry, you are approximately 20-30 minutes from the nearest grocery store, but there is a small general store to pick up essential like milk and eggs.
Coventry is home to the Nathanial Greene Homestead. Here you can explore the house of one of the most famous American war generals, Nathanael Greene. They hold war re-enactments and set of canons. The running joke is “What was that boom?” This is a fun, educational activity for families in Coventry.
