    "The neighbors are very nice and friendly. The school system is very great, close to the YMCA, close to hospitals and doctors great grocery stores."
  • Christina Bowen
    "I live in a rural part of Covington where there isn’t any public transportation available. It is a wonderfully quiet area and I am very happy to be here. "
  • Leonhardtashley
    "it's nice if you stay on the other side of town away from the mill. that side of town is okay, depending on the street but the mill is terrible to look at and smell"
  • Wade.guillory
    "There is a farmers market on Saturdays and local sports team events that enable the community to come together. "
  • Hannah T.
    "It’s a great place to live. Awfully small, an everybody knows everybody town. High poverty rate but is nice. "
  • kastwilightgem
    "Unless your physically fit, mowing the lawn is nearly impossible. Not only is it on a cliff, the front yard is concave! One of the side yards floods every time it rains. Both trees in the front yard are dead and ready to fall onto the house down below. The driveway is pitched at a 45 degree downward slope. The carport also floods. The nearest city is fifteen minutes away. It has minimal shopping, nightlife and dining. There are only three parks; all extremely small and lacking. The main street in downtown consists mostly empty store fronts. Worse, just a few blocks away is the largest paper mill in the United States of America. Talk about stink! "
