From farm to gardens
Once home to dairy farms and fruit orchards, Coventry Gardens still retains elements of its pastoral history some six decades after developing into a neighborhood in central Livonia. Though close to Livonia’s conveniences, this neighborhood of mature trees, spacious lawns and winding streets feels tucked away. “It’s a little bit of a hidden, secluded neighborhood,” says Monica Iskra, Realty Team Leader for the Monica Iskra Team.

A variety of housing styles with room to move
Development of Coventry Estates began in the late 1950s, though most homes in the neighborhood were built in the following two decades. They come in a variety of designs, from ranches and split-levels to Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals and a few contemporary designs built more recently. This housing variety does have a commonality – larger than average suburban lawns. Many Coventry Estates houses have swimming pools in the backyard. “There’s character in those houses,” Iskra says. “And they have a little more space than the cookie-cutter yard.” Houses in Coventry Estates range from $275,000-500,000.

Green schools, robotics teams and athletic activities

And there are plenty of student activities at Stevenson High School, which has 30 extracurricular groups and nearly 20 varsity sports teams. The elementary and high schools also have walking paths connecting them to the neighborhood.

Golf, swimming and other recreational offerings
Recreational opportunities abound for all ages in Coventry Estates. Idyl Wyld Golf Course, an 18-hole, par-70 layout, predates the neighborhood itself – Idyl Wyld celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025. Burton Hollow Swim Club, Newburgh Swim Club and Fairway Farms Swim and Tennis Club are also within close reach of the neighborhood. Coventry Gardens Park, a private park for Coventry Gardens residents located near the center of the neighborhood, hosts several community events throughout the year. The Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center, operated by the Livonia Parks and Recreation District, is a short trip from the neighborhood. Kirksey offers recreational programs for youth, adult and senior Livonia residents.

Improvement Association fosters sense of community
The volunteer-led Coventry Gardens Improvement Association helps give the neighborhood a true sense of community with a variety of events. In summer, food trucks visit Coventry Gardens Park on Tuesday evenings. Come September, it's the locals doing the cooking for the annual Coventry Gardens Chili Cook-Off. October closes out with a Halloween bonfire, and the holiday season kicks off with “Santa in the Park” and a neighborhood light parade in December.

Shopping centers, iconic sliders and Detroit's best wings
Coventry Gardens residents are minutes from Laurel Park Place shopping mall and The New Five Village shopping center. With its all-white facade, Bates Burgers is the area’s most recognizable restaurant. Bates has been serving its signature sliders here since 1959, while to some it’s known even more for the biscuits and gravy on its breakfast menu. “It’s iconic,” says Debbie DeAngelo, Realtor at Remerica United. “People move away from Livonia and come back for Bates.” One Under Craft Beer & Eats, which serves as a 19th hole for golfers leaving Idyl Wyld, was voted Detroit’s best wings by the Detroit Free Press in 2023. Busch’s Fresh Food Market, which specializes in Michigan-grown produce, is in the northern part of the neighborhood on Six Mile Road. Stan’s Market on Five Mile Road is convenient for residents in the southern half of the neighborhood.

Sidewalked subdivisions and major Detroit-area roadways
Livonia has no transit system, so a vehicle is a necessity here. And so is driving carefully – the National Motorists Association once ranked Livonia No. 2 nationally in the category of “Worst Speed Trap Cities.” The subdivisions themselves are pedestrian-friendly, featuring sidewalks along their often-winding streets. Trinity Health Livonia Hospital, which has a helipad, is just outside the neighborhood on Five Mile Road. Interstate 96, which is a mile south of Coventry Estates, provides a 20-mile trip to downtown Detroit. There are also several significant local roads in the community, including Five and Six Mile and Farmington Road.

Bell Branch can overflow
The Bell Branch of the Rouge River runs through Coventry Estates, which can cause flooding. However, no homes are built in the Bell Branch floodplain, and rising water tends to collect in open areas like Coventry Gardens Park and Idyl Wyld Golf Course.
