Coventry housing market snapshot (as of fall 2026)

The two big data providers disagree on Coventry this fall, so here are both, with dates and sources:

  • Median sale price: about $455K for the three months ending October 2026, up 5.7% from a year earlier (Redfin). Realtor.com reported a $425,000 median sold price for October 2026, down about 12% year over year, and a $536,175 median listing price (down about 10%).
  • Speed: Redfin reported a median of about 28 days on market, down from 32 a year earlier. Realtor.com reported a median of 41 days for October 2026, up about 52% year over year.
  • Price vs. list: Redfin said the average home sells for about 1% above list price and called Coventry "very competitive"(Compete Score 84 of 100). Realtor.com put the October sale-to-list ratio at about 100% and called Coventry a seller's market.
  • Inventory: Realtor.com counted 164 active listings in October 2026, flat from a year earlier.

What that means for you: Coventry is still a seller's market, but it isn't as fast as last year by every measure, and the one-month numbers swing because the town is smaller. A single townwide median says little here. A house in a mill village near West Warwick, a lakefront home on Johnson's Pond, and a farmhouse near the Connecticut line don't sell the same way. We price from recent sales in your part of town.

Coventry's villages

Coventry is the largest town in Rhode Island by land area (about 59.5 square miles) and had 35,688 people in the 2020 census. Locals usually say which village they live in:

  • East side (Anthony, Washington, Quidnick, Harris, Arkwright): 19th-century mill villages near West Warwick, with older single- and two-family homes, many built for mill workers.
  • Tiogue and Coventry Centre (middle): suburban neighborhoods around Tiogue Lake and the town center.
  • Johnson's Pond (Flat River Reservoir) and Spring Lake: waterfront and near-water neighborhoods.
  • West side (Greene, Summit, Rice City, Hopkins Hollow): rural villages toward Foster and the Connecticut line. Greene and Summit began as railroad stops, and Rice City and Hopkins Hollow are historic districts.

All of Coventry uses ZIP code 02816. Homes range from 18th-century farmhouses and mill-era houses to ranches, capes, colonials, and lakefront homes, so we compare similar homes in the same area.

Living in Coventry

  • Location: Coventry borders West Warwick and Cranston to the east and north, East Greenwich and West Greenwich to the south, and Sterling, Connecticut, to the west. The east side is closest to West Warwick and the highways toward Providence.
  • Outdoors: the Coventry Greenway (part of the East Coast Greenway) runs about 15 miles on the old railroad bed from the Connecticut line to West Warwick. There's also Johnson's Pond for boating and fishing, Carbuncle Pond near the Connecticut border, and the Audubon Society's George B. Parker Woodland.
  • History: Coventry became a town in 1741. The General Nathanael Greene Homestead (1770) is here.
  • Schools: Coventry Public Schools serves the town. Check with the district for current school assignments.
  • Johnson's Pond buyers: the Town of Coventry took ownership of the pond and dam by eminent domain in 2024, and a federal lawsuit by the former owner was still pending as of 2026 (news reports cited on Wikipedia). If you're buying on the pond, ask your attorney about water levels and the status of the case.
  • Water and flood check: ponds, reservoirs, and river branches run through town. Check the FEMA flood map and flood insurance early if a home is near water.

Selling your Coventry home: three paths

  1. Traditional listing: pricing from nearby recent sales, prep advice, photography, showings, and negotiation. Sell with us
  2. Cash offer: for inherited homes, homes that need work, rentals with tenants, or a fixed timeline. We'll show you how a cash offer compares with listing, so you can decide with real numbers. Request a cash offer
  3. Sell and buy at the same time: we plan the timing of both so you aren't stuck between moves. Sell and buy

Buying in Coventry

Coventry gives you more land and more choice of setting than the towns closer to Providence. Realtor.com's October median listing price was higher than Warwick's or Cranston's, so it isn't always the cheaper option. Decide early whether you want a mill-village home near West Warwick, a lake neighborhood, or a rural lot out west. Out west, ask about well and septic systems; near water, ask about flood zone and insurance costs before you make an offer. Start your home search

East Providence housing market snapshot (as of fall 2026)

Different data providers measure the market differently, so here are dated figures with their sources rather than a single number:

  • Redfin (three months ending October 2026): median sale price about $460K, up 5.7% from a year earlier; homes sold in a median of 26 days(22 days a year earlier); typically about 2 offers per home. Source: Redfin East Providence housing market page.
  • Realtor.com (September 2026): median sold price $450,500; 160 active listings; median 32 days on market; sale-to-list ratio about 100%. Source: Realtor.com East Providence market page.
  • Housing stock in ZIP 02914 (TopHap, records through October 2026): median year built 1940; about 72% single-family homes; median size about 1,682 sq ft and 3 bedrooms.

What that means in practice: well-prepared, accurately priced homes are still selling in about a month, but the neighborhood, condition, and price point of a specific house matter more than a citywide median. Older housing stock means inspections often turn up items worth planning for before you list.

East Providence neighborhoods and ZIP codes

The City of East Providence describes five neighborhoods, each with its own character:

  • Watchemoket – the central, most populated area, with most of the city's commercial and municipal buildings; I-195 runs through it, a short drive over the river to downtown Providence. (ZIP 02914)
  • Riverside – the southern, bayside section, once a summer resort area. Home to Crescent Park and its 1895 Looff Carousel (a National Historic Landmark) and a stretch of the East Bay Bike Path. (ZIP 02915)
  • Rumford – north of the Ten Mile River, the site of the original settlement, with an older historic district near Hunts Mills. (ZIP 02916)
  • Kent Heights – largely post-World War II subdivisions along southern Pawtucket Avenue.
  • Phillipsdale – along Omega Pond and the Seekonk River, with roots as a Washburn Wire company village.

ZIP lines don't match neighborhood lines exactly, so we compare sales street by street, not just by ZIP.

Living in East Providence

  • East Bay Bike Path: about 14.5 miles from India Point Park in Providence through Riverside toward Barrington and Bristol.
  • Schools: East Providence High School moved into a new building on Pawtucket Avenue in fall 2021, with the city's career and technical center built in. A new Edward R. Martin Middle School opened to students on December 1, 2025 (per the East Providence School Department). Check the district for boundaries and current details.
  • Commute: I-195 crosses the city, so many buyers who work in Providence look here.
