Covington Reviews

Covington is a wonderful historical city! It offers a wonderful art community, great restaurants and great small owner merchants but best of all it's a politically a conservative little city that attracts so many people who want to live in a safe community. Housing is rather expensive but overall, it's a total winner!
This city holds a special place in my heart because it's my hometown but that's not the only reason I gave it 4/5. Covington and its surrounding areas are a fast-growing area. I love the fact that they have many various choices for food. There's a decent amount of diversity at least within my age groups. The only downfall with this area is that despite its quick growth and a large number of adolescents and young adults, there are no places to have fun. No putt-putt golf, no gaming center, or really any other event place. The only thing is a trampoline park that just opened a few months ago that is built for kids between the ages of 5-13. The closest thing for young adults my age is in Hammond or New Orleans both ranging from 30-45 minutes away. Other than that, it's a great area with lots of good people.
Very nice area for a middle class family! It is a safe city on the Northshore, a suburb of New Orleans. Old town Covington has an old historic charm and is a lovely place to visit! Lots of parks to bring the children and a super bike trail that runs through four whole cities! Not much of a nightlife if you are young and looking for a dance club. With that said, it is only a 45min drive to the party Mecca of New Orleans. Family friendly and affordable, with short commute times makes it a great place to live in my opinion. Come visit and see for yourself!
