Located about 5 miles from the heart of Pottstown, it features subdivisions full of single-family homes with large private lots that are scattered between local farms. “East Coventry is the perfect blend of country and suburban living,” says Meredith Styer Jacks, a local broker and co-owner of Styer Real Estate with over 10 years of experience. “It’s one of the most beautiful areas in Chester County, surrounded by open spaces and parkland.” With green landscapes ranging from flat and cleared lots to densely wooded forests, this quiet community offers a lifestyle emphasizing outdoor recreation.

Large lots with spacious homes
Country roads canopied by towering oaks and maples give way to secluded streets that feature large New Traditional-style homes on spacious lots that average around an acre. Many of these properties feature multicar garages and private pools, with prices ranging from $600,000 to over $1 million. Other streets are peppered with older colonials, ranch-style homes and a mix of split-levels and bi-levels, with these properties priced from the $200,000s to the $500,000s. Ever-expanding townhouse communities are being developed around East Coventry Elementary, boasting attached two-car garages and paved sidewalks. Sales prices for these range from the $300,000s to the $500,000s. The area also has various farmhouses spanning multiple acres that sell for over $1 million and a small community of manufactured homes that sell for under $100,000.

Events in nearby Pottstown
“We’re a small town, so we don’t have that many events, but Santa Claus drives by on a firetruck and makes a loop around the township,” Jacks says. Nearby Pottstown has annual events that range from beer festivals to daylong concerts featuring multiple performers. Closer to home, locals can enjoy contemporary plays at Theater with a View, which mounts outdoor performances along Ebelhare Road. The area's long history stretches to the 1600s, and East Coventry’s best-known historic landmark is the former Fricks Locks Village. Every other Saturday throughout the year, the East Coventry Historical Commission offers regular tours of the village, which has buildings dating back to the 1700s. People lived in Fricks Locks until the 1970s, when the construction of the Limerick Generating Station, a nuclear power plant across the river, led residents to move. (The plant is still in operation today; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an impact study in May 2024 that uncovered no significant environmental effects from the plant.)
