261 Church Street
The Coventry at 261 Church Street is one of the most exclusive boutique luxury condominiums in Oakville. Located in the heart of Downtown Oakville, the four-storey building contains just 12 residences, creating a level of privacy and exclusivity that is difficult to replicate in a larger condominium development.
Completed in 2009 by Legend Homes, The Coventry combines traditional architecture with substantial condominium floor plans and a highly walkable downtown location. Its limited number of residences and position just north of Lakeshore Road have made it particularly appealing to buyers looking for the space and quality of a luxury home without the maintenance associated with a detached property.
For buyers considering a condominium in Downtown Oakville, The Coventry stands apart for its scale. Rather than hundreds of suites and extensive common facilities, the building offers a quieter residential environment with exceptionally large private residences in one of Oakville’s most established neighbourhoods.
The Coventry was designed on a substantially different scale from most condominium buildings. Residences range from approximately 2,400 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet, providing the proportions and room sizes more commonly associated with luxury detached homes.
Floor plans generally include two- and three-bedroom configurations, while the building’s largest penthouse residences offer as many as four bedrooms. Generous principal rooms, high ceilings and large windows create bright interiors, while many suites include formal entertaining spaces, substantial kitchens and private outdoor areas.
The building’s precast stone exterior gives The Coventry a traditional architectural character that fits comfortably within Downtown Oakville. Inside, individual residences can vary significantly according to their original selections and subsequent renovations, making condition and interior quality particularly important when comparing suites.
A very limited number of suites creates a private and intimate residential environment.
Exceptionally large floor plans provide considerably more living space than a typical condominium residence.

Location is one of The Coventry’s defining advantages. Situated at Church Street and Dunn Street, the building places residents directly within Downtown Oakville and only a short walk from Lakeshore Road, the harbour and the Lake Ontario waterfront.
Downtown Oakville is known for its collection of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, galleries and professional services. Residents of The Coventry can walk to many of the town’s best-known destinations while still enjoying the quieter residential character of Church Street.
The building is located within Old Oakville, one of Oakville’s most established neighbourhoods. Historic architecture, mature streets, waterfront parks and the town’s traditional downtown create a setting that is difficult to reproduce elsewhere in the community.

For condominium buyers, this location provides an unusual combination of substantial residence size and a genuinely walkable neighbourhood environment.
With only 12 residences, opportunities to purchase at The Coventry are naturally limited. This small scale is an important part of the building’s appeal, particularly for buyers who prefer a private residential atmosphere rather than the amenities and activity associated with a large condominium tower.
The building is especially well suited to buyers moving from larger Oakville homes who want to reduce exterior maintenance without making a significant compromise on interior space. Its combination of large suites, understated architecture and immediate access to Downtown Oakville gives The Coventry a distinct position within the local luxury condominium market.
Building Style
Four storeys and only 12 residences create a quiet and highly private condominium environment.
Best Suited For
Large floor plans offer an attractive transition for buyers accustomed to substantial detached homes.
Property values at The Coventry reflect the rarity of the building, its Downtown Oakville location and the unusually large size of its residences. With only 12 suites, sales occur less frequently than in larger condominium buildings, meaning individual transactions can have a significant effect on broad building averages.
Average values have been approximately $1,137 per square foot, although individual residences can vary considerably according to suite size, floor plan, floor level, exposure, outdoor space, interior condition, parking and the extent of any renovations.
Because suites can range from approximately 2,400 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet, price-per-square-foot comparisons should be considered alongside the total size and characteristics of the residence. Recent sales of similarly sized suites within The Coventry and other premium Downtown Oakville buildings generally provide the most useful context when assessing current market value.
With only 12 residences, building-wide averages should be used as general context rather than as a valuation of an individual suite. The most relevant recent comparable sales should be considered alongside square footage, floor plan, exposure, renovation quality, outdoor space, parking and storage.
