Property values at The Coventry reflect the building's limited number of residences, substantial floor plans and central Downtown Oakville location. With only 12 suites, sales occur relatively infrequently, meaning individual transactions can have a significant influence on building-wide averages.
The building's historical average has been approximately $1,137 per square foot, although values can vary considerably according to residence size, layout, exposure, floor level, outdoor space and interior condition. Extensive renovations, parking and storage can also influence pricing.
A historical average provides context for the building, while the size, condition and individual characteristics of each residence remain the most important influences on value. With only 12 suites, each transaction can have a meaningful impact on the average.
With suites ranging from approximately 2,400 to more than 5,000 square feet, price-per-square-foot comparisons need to be considered alongside the total size and layout of each property. Larger residences may appeal to a different segment of the market than smaller suites, while renovated interiors and desirable outdoor spaces can command premiums.
Floor plan, total square footage, floor level, exposure, ceiling heights, renovation quality, outdoor space, parking and storage are all important considerations. Recent sales within The Coventry, supplemented by comparable residences in other premium Downtown Oakville buildings, generally provide the most relevant context when evaluating a property.
One of The Coventry's defining characteristics is the scale of its residences. With floor plans starting at approximately 2,400 square feet and extending beyond 5,000 square feet, the building offers room sizes and proportions more commonly associated with substantial detached homes.
Residences generally feature two- and three-bedroom layouts, while the largest penthouse configurations may accommodate as many as four bedrooms. Generous living and dining rooms, high ceilings, large windows and substantial kitchens create homes designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining.
The building's precast stone exterior gives The Coventry a traditional architectural character that fits naturally into the surrounding Downtown Oakville streetscape. Individual interiors vary according to original finishes and subsequent renovations, making the condition and design of each residence an important consideration for prospective buyers.
Floor plans ranging from approximately 2,400 to more than 5,000 square feet offer substantially more space than most condominium residences.

DESIGN DETAILS

Larger kitchens, formal entertaining spaces, multiple bedrooms and private outdoor areas allow residents to maintain much of the functionality of a traditional home while reducing the responsibilities associated with exterior property maintenance.
Unlike a large condominium tower built around extensive shared recreation facilities, The Coventry places the emphasis on generous private residences, a boutique atmosphere and the convenience of an exceptional Downtown Oakville location.
