Covington, LA - Is this is good place to live?

Yes its nice. Don't know shite about woodlands. Don't depend on public schools here though.

Covington is just about the nicest,cleanest city in LA to live in

Nice place. Would rather Mandeville/Madisonville area. Don't know about leaving the Woodlands for it. Best schools in the state. Crime low.

If you have a family, it's a great place to live. However, don't believe the hype about the schools -- plan to put your kids in St. Paul's and St. Scholastica.

No. Stay away. We're full.

Would you leave The Woodlands, TX to live in Covington, LA?

Yes.

Don't let anyone tell you CHS is a good school, it's not. You will have to go private.

Great schools. No crime. Great place to raise a family. New Orleans under an hour away. I loved growing up there. Not ideal for just out of college as there are just a lot of people here raising families, but if you're in that group, it's ideal.

I thought they were trying to shop people to Houston out of the Cov office?

Either way there is a ton of faggy Aggies at that office so you should feel right at home.

I have been to Mandeville to party on the lake front a few times. We always stop at the Winn Dixie right off the interstate before heading to our friends house...

Lets just say you can leave your running with doors open and go in and shop... It will be right where you left it

1) you work for chevron
2) covington is awesome, but real estate is expensive.
3) it's not really like the woodlands, the woodlands are definitely designed as a suburb. Covington was designed as a short vacation spot for the upper class in NOLA. It has a lot of charm and class. (Not hating on the woodlands, it's just a matter of fact)
4) virtually no crime. Everyone is old money and Lilly white. The very small pocket of minorities is kept in check by the gestapo police.
