ich in Tradition… Full of Charm…
Clark’s Grove is only a short walk to historic downtown
Covington, framed with shops, restaurants and civic buildings.
Famous for its beautiful antebellum homes, the unforgettable
town square and friendly atmosphere, Covington has a rich
heritage and old fashioned charm that is rarely found in today’s
frenetic society. Tree lined neighborhoods and a diverse mix
of traditional architecture make walking and biking a joy.
But don’t let this fool you; there is a thriving business
and entertainment community at the heart of this vibrant
southern
town. It has been the site of numerous movies and TV series
such as: In The Heat Of The Night, The Dukes of Hazard, and
My Cousin Vinny to name a few. Located 34 miles east of downtown
Atlanta on Interstate 20, it is just outside the ring of
Metro
Atlanta. Covington is the Piedmont Region’s best kept
secret…but not for long.
