Characteristics

Transportation

Covington is particularly car friendly. It is a short drive to the nearest highway, such as US Hwy 278, from any location in this city, and parking is easy. There are relatively few pedestrians out on the streets of this part of the Atlanta metropolitan area, even though carrying out day-to-day needs is easy without a vehicle. Covington is also not very bicycling-friendly since the terrain is not particularly flat, and the cycling network is not very extensive.

Services

Property owners in Covington will value that a grocery store is always only an extended pedestrian trip away. Additionally, a restaurant is often just around the corner, and a limited number of cafes is available as well. Concerning education, locals will welcome that no matter where their home is located in Covington, primary schools are nearby. On the other hand, locals may consider it very difficult to reach high schools as pedestrians. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.
