Clifford Park in Coventry
Living in Clifford Park
This part of Coventry has a settled, residential character — more than half of households own their home, which gives it a different feel from the more transient rental-heavy zones closer to the city centre. A meaningful share of residents are families with children, and the age spread is broad, without the heavy student or young-professional concentration you find in some inner-city neighbourhoods.
Rents here are some of the lower ones you'll find in Coventry. A two-bedroom place comes in around £914 a month, and you can find one-bedroom flats for about £760. That's comfortably below the UK national median for a 2-bed, which makes this area genuinely affordable by national standards, even if the rent-to-take-home ratio of around 47% signals that local incomes are modest too.
Around one in five residents are 65 or over, and a similar share are under 18 — so the community has both younger families and older, longer-settled residents. Just under a quarter of residents were born outside the UK, reflecting Coventry's broader ethnic mix, and the diversity index here sits at around 50, which is notably higher than the national average.
For getting around, most residents drive — just over half commute by car, while public transport use is low at around 6%. The nearest mainline rail station is roughly 4.7 km away in straight-line terms, or a short drive. Birmingham is reachable by public transport in just under 83 minutes. Broadband coverage is excellent — 100% of premises can access gigabit-speed connections. See the streets and sub-areas below for more.

Frequently asked

- What is the rent in Coventry 019?
- A one-bedroom flat runs around £760 a month, a two-bed around £914, and a three-bed around £1,067. These are estimates scaled from city-level data using local sale prices.

- Is Coventry 019 safe?
- Crime runs at around 185 incidents per 1,000 residents a year — more than double the UK national rate of roughly 80.

- What's the commute from Coventry 019 to Birmingham?
