Coventry balances rural quiet with easy access to everyday needs, set within the Northeast Kingdom’s open fields, river corridors, and big skies. Minutes from Newport and Derby in Orleans County, the town offers quick routes to shops, healthcare, and the South Bay of Lake Memphremagog. Birders and paddlers head to the state-managed South Bay Wildlife Management Area, while pilots and entrepreneurs appreciate the convenience of the in-town Newport State Airport. Local government stays highly engaged—meetings, services, and updates are easy to find through the Town of Coventry.
Families value education here. The K–8 Coventry Village School emphasizes small class sizes and hands-on learning within the North Country Supervisory Union. Thanks to Vermont’s tuitioning model, high schoolers enjoy choice, with many attending North Country Union High School in nearby Newport and exploring career-tech pathways.
Life in Coventry feels grounded and neighborly: farmers wave from hayfields, trailheads and rivers are a short drive, and municipal finances have a long reputation for careful management, helping keep local taxes competitive. Whether you’re seeking acreage, a riverside retreat, or an efficient in-town home, you’ll find room to breathe and a genuine sense of community.
