Coventry Crossing is west Akron neighborhood near major highways
As a planned community, Coventry Crossing offers its residents a built-in network of neighbors, events and maintenance through its homeowners association. However, it is this neighborhood’s location that draws people in. Firestone Metro Park is a sprawling green space many people can walk to from their homes, with rolling hills and a dense forest of trees. It is next to Firestone Country Club, which has three courses for its members. Shopping and dining options are within a few miles, made accessible by Interstate 77.
New traditional homes with homeowners association at reasonably prices
Sidewalks line the main loop of Coventry Crossing and many of the cul-de-sacs that branch off the loop. Oak trees and shrubbery decorate trimmed lawns. New traditional homes boasting colonial influences were built between the 1980s and early 2000s. “Everything is a little bit different, and there is a little bit of room between every house,” says Kathy Forchione, Realtor with Culter Realty and former resident who has worked in Akron for nearly 15 years. While several houses mimic Colonial Revivals, others have more geometric designs with garages in the front. Three to four-bedroom properties typically cost $235,000 to $330,000, which Forchione says are “priced reasonably.” Besides helping maintain the neighborhood, the Coventry Crossing Community Association hosts events throughout the year. These include seasonal celebrations like Easter egg hunts and trick-or-treating and casual hangouts like garage sales and community dinners.
Students attend Coventry schools or private schools in Akron
The neighborhood is part of the Coventry Local School District. Coventry Elementary School earns a B from Niche and offers pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.

Neighborhood and nature parks are near Firestone Golf Club
Residents of Coventry Crossing have access to a small neighborhood park with a splash pad a short walk from their homes. The community is next to Firestone Metro Park, which spans 258 acres and reaches the Tuscarawas River. In the winter, visitors can ski or sled through the park, while warmer months are better suited for hiking through the meadows or fishing in one of the small ponds and lakes like Little Turtle Pond. Golfers have ample opportunity to practice their swing, with 54 holes at Firestone Country Club. While tee times are available for everyone, club members can participate in lessons and clinics. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is about 14 miles away, with over 125 miles of hiking trails.

Shopping and dining in Downtown Akron and nearby centers
Along Waterloo Road, dining options include chains like Rally's and the family-owned Waterloo Restaurant. Open since 1957, this restaurant serves a menu that ranges from homestyle dishes and burgers to seafood and tacos. Downtown Akron is about 6 miles away and has boutiques, cafes and local eateries for residents to visit. One popular dinner option is Luigi’s, an Italian Restaurant. “There’s a line every night to try to get in,” Forchione says. Also downtown is the Akron Art Museum, with over 7,000 pieces of work dating back to 1850. Forchione says many people will travel to Montrose Center, about 15 miles away. “There’s every kind of shopping,” she says. These include national chains like Barnes & Noble and Sam’s Club. Major retailers such as Kohl’s, Home Depot, and Walmart, are about 3 miles away along Arlington Road. The closest grocery option is Marc’s Store.
Intersection of major highways has minimal impact on noise levels
Coventry Crossing is at the junction of Interstate 277 and Interstate 77. “There’s probably a few houses that are right on the highway, but then there’s the whole neighborhood that comes away from it, so it’s not too bad,” Forchione says. “There is some noise for a few houses where their backyard is the highway – they can see and hear the highway.” While Akron-Canton Airport is only about 10 miles away, many people will travel about 44 miles to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
