Covington is the seat of St. Tammany Parish on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, a fast-growing area whose quieter pace, good schools and oak-shaded neighborhoods have drawn families and businesses from New Orleans. The town has a historic downtown with galleries, restaurants and boutiques, and is home to corporate headquarters such as Pool Corporation and Globalstar, along with a significant healthcare sector. Horse farms, the Tchefuncte and Bogue Falaya rivers and the nearby towns of Mandeville and Abita Springs add to its appeal.

Covington is about 45 minutes from New Orleans via the 24-mile Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, but traffic on the bridge and the interstates can be slow. Flying private into Hammond Northshore Regional Airport or Slidell Airport puts you close to Covington and the Northshore while bypassing the city entirely. Flying in is convenient for business, second homes and weekends spent cycling the Tammany Trace, touring Abita Brewing or exploring Fontainebleau State Park on the lake.
