A front-range suburb between College Avenue and the Horsetooth Reservoir
Between the conveniences of College Avenue and the endless natural areas of the Rocky Mountains Front Range, Coventry is a midtown community around 6 miles south of downtown Fort Collins. “The southeast side of town is a popular area on the housing market right now,” says Joseph Penta, a local real estate agent with Penta Homes. “It’s mostly ‘90s builds in Coventry, which draw people in due to the larger lot sizes compared to the newer 21st-century suburbs.” Highly rated schools and walkability are other characteristics of life in Coventry.
Real estate in Coventry is competitive, with homes often priced at high premiums.
Coventry is close to shopping centers, restaurants, and local parks.

Nearby sports facilities and the expansive Horsetooth Reservoir
Ridgeview Park sits next to McGraw Elementary and has a playground, a baseball diamond, a picnic shelter and paved walking paths. The Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area is around a mile southwest and has a 5-mile out-and-back trail that winds through open fields and native flora. In the winter, the natural area’s raptor observatory is a popular lookout among bird watchers searching for eagles and hawks. Nearby, Troutman Park has facilities for soccer, baseball, tennis and basketball, along with picnic tables and two ponds, where anglers can cast a line to reel in largemouth bass and rainbow trout. Horsetooth Reservoir is a short drive west of Coventry, and is surrounded by hiking trails, beaches and campgrounds. “Proximity to the Horsetooth Reservoir is a big plus,” Penta says. “In the summer, people take their boats and paddle boards out to the water and explore the surrounding natural areas. It’s the most visited recreation area in the city.”
Whetstone Climbing is a short drive away along College Avenue and is the largest climbing gym in Fort Collins. The gym features hundreds of routes for bouldering and top rope, along with yoga classes and a fitness center.
The Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area has walking trails for days.
