Where is Coventry?
Coventry is the second largest city in the West Midlands after Birmingham and is the third largest in the wider Midlands area.
The city is part of the ‘Coventry and Bedworth Urban Area’, which has a population of 389,000. While Coventry can offer a metropolitan feel, it also has greater access to stunning rural areas and is surrounded by beautiful villages and Warwickshire landscapes.
Coventry is the most central city in England and has exceptional links across the country, with Birmingham, Leicester and Warwick all within 25 miles. In terms of price, Coventry houses for sale tend to be more affordable than those in Birmingham and Warwick, with average property prices similar to that of Leicester.
The city has a long industrial history and represented one of the major manufacturing hubs in the UK. While that sector has declined, new industries have moved into the area and Coventry continues to have a strong economy while being recognised as one of the safest cities in the UK.
Outside of the city centre, Coventry is surrounded by several larger market towns such as Nuneaton and Bedworth as well as villages such as Hawkesbury and Bulkington.
