Community Life
Rich 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.
