Old Landing, located between the Bogue Falaya River and downtown Covington, is a historic and riverside Covington neighborhood with a leafy trail network and a low-key, porch-lit streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Tammany Trace trailhead near N New Hampshire Street, where cyclists, dog-walkers, and coffee runs thread past small storefronts and shaded benches. Landmarks like the Covington Trailhead Museum, the St. Tammany Art Association, and the Southern Hotel set a cultural cadence that feels local and lived-in. Architecture leans toward older cottages and classic Southern forms, with mature trees softening the blocks. River air and trail traffic shape daily rhythms, from morning rides to evening strolls. The setting reads calm and connected, with downtown’s galleries and dining a short walk away.
