About Coventry
Coventry is Rhode Island's largest town by land area (~62 square miles) and a tale of two halves: suburban subdivisions and converted 19th-century mill villages in the east, and wide-open rural country in the west, where homes sit on multi-acre lots behind stone walls. Housing ranges from early-20th-century colonials and ranch-style homes to lakefront properties around Johnson's Pond and cabins in the western woods.
