The Villas at Coventry, an apartment community built in 2010, is also within the area. The assessor flags 133 parcels as waterfront, mostly in Smithy Glen (66), Ferguson Glade (35), Presson Arbor (22) and Justinian Grove (10); whether a given lot faces one of the community lakes or the reservoir shoreline should be checked parcel by parcel.

Price context

York County reassesses every two years, with values effective January 1 of even years (Real Estate Assessment). The overall 2026 median assessment for Coventry's residential parcels is $342,900, but the village table is the better guide because the townhome and single-family villages are priced so differently. Assessments are not sale prices; recent sales in the same village are the right comparison.

What does the Coventry HOA cost and cover?

The Coventry Homeowners Association, Inc. is the master association. Per its 2026 assessment notice:

VillageTotal monthly HOA dues, 2026
Davis Forge, Faison Green, Justinian Grove, Lilburne Meadow, Presson Arbor$65 (master only)
Ferguson Glade$162 (master plus sub-association)
Smithy Glen$185 (master plus sub-association)
Finch Terrace$190 (master plus sub-association)

The master assessment funds master operating expenses and reserves, common-area upkeep and on-site administration. The association's About page still lists $60, an older figure. The board meets on the second Monday of each month at the clubhouse, and resale disclosure packets are ordered through Homewisedocs. Under Virginia's Resale Disclosure Act, a buyer who receives the resale certificate after ratification generally has three days to cancel; in the townhome villages, expect documents from both associations.

What amenities does Coventry have?

From the HOA's amenities page:

  • Two full-size 25-meter pools, each with a wading pool
  • An 800-square-foot clubhouse
  • Three tennis courts, two pickleball courts and two sand volleyball courts
  • Two pavilions and three playgrounds
  • About 2.4 miles of paths
  • Six lakes and a pond

Flood zones and the Chesapeake Bay Act in Coventry

Flood exposure is low. In county data, 1,072 of 1,106 Coventry parcels are entirely in FEMA Zone X; 34 are partly in Zone A or AE, but only 4 of 1,212 address points fall in Zone A. Fifty-eight parcels touch a Chesapeake Bay Act Resource Protection Area, which carries a 100-foot vegetated buffer along wetlands, shorelines and perennial streams (York County Bay Act page). County GIS also places many parcels within its watershed management buffers, so ask the county about any planned addition or outbuilding on a lakeside lot. Check specific parcels at maps.yorkcounty.gov.

What to know when buying or selling in Coventry

  • Know the village. Dues, home type and value vary more between villages than within one.
  • In the townhome villages, total dues are $162 to $190 a month; read both associations' documents.
  • Lakeside lots: confirm RPA status and any limits on shoreline work before planning changes.
  • Age of systems: most homes were built in the 1990s, so roofs, HVAC and windows are common inspection items.
  • For sellers: pricing against same-village sales, with updates documented, is the clearest way to position a Coventry home.
