Earlsdon is a pretty good place to live, although there are far more students about thanks to the expansion of Cov Uni.
Plenty of decent places to eat and drink and only a ten minute walk to Chapelfields if you want more traditional pubs. Memorial park is just around the corner as is the train station. Ten minutes walk away is a shopping parade "Central Six" that has a few nice shops.
Road links are pretty good too, the A45 is just down the road. Parking can be a bit of a problem, but our lovely Council has introduced a residents parking scheme.
Another place that you might consider is a new development called Bannerbrook which is on the old Massey Ferguson site. Have been round there a few times and all the houses looked really nice.
If you do move to Coventry................don't be frightened of the Ring Road. Its the only thing the Council ever got right.
If I were to move back to Cov I'd choose Earlsdon - but it depends what the OP wants. If he wants something pretty vibrant then yes, absolutely. If he wants a village feel then I'd think about some of the other places (Berkswell; Allesley Village; Leamington...). What's Bagington like? We just used to go to the Oak which used to be great.
