I live in Loganville and had lived in Lawrenceville and can say that there are areas that are going to be spots you don’t want to spend too much time in. Overall, I personally don’t agree with labeling the whole city that way. I filmed this area in particular because this is what living in the area will get you: small town community with a active town city. Covington is growing as they bring in more retail, and movies are still being filmed here. Let me know when you decide. If you can buy, I encourage it over renting. Home prices are pretty steady and growing. Lots of new construction in the area.

Great video! How is the crime rate in Covington GA? My spouse and I were thinking about moving there, but we've heard that the crime rate is high.

[@livinginatleastotp]

Crime honestly is everywhere; however, when compared to the city of Atlanta, I feel like it is better in Covington. I know someone who’s been there over 10 years and hasn’t had an issue. I recommend visiting the area, especially the square. The season for lots of events is coming! And of course if you need an agent, I’d love to assist!

[@pinklobelia2389]

Can you comment on Covington being listed as having a high crime rate? I’m hoping it depends on where you live. I live in NJ and may relocate to GA for a job.

[@livinginatleastotp]

Hi. Apologies I just noticed that I did not respond. I'm not sure of where you pulled the data, but I personally have not heard of overwhelming concerns of high crime in Covington or in the surrounding areas. However, that is not to say you won't have it, and this area is no exception. You may want to focus more on travel time between Covington and your place of employment. Traffic can be very challenging the further you live outside the I285 perimeter, if your job requires in-person and it is in the city of Atlanta.

Thanks for getting back to me. I actually visited GA two days ago and got to talk to some people. They all agree that Covington is a good area and is safe. I was told that Lawrenceville would be better socially and has a better food scene. I’m leaning towards Covington because of the shorter commute and a particular apartment. I’m not ready to buy at this time but I don’t think renting is worth it, especially in GA with the abusive rental practices- no rent control and ridiculously high application and admin fees. I’ve always worked with individual landlords who didn’t charge fees but I couldn’t find any in GA. Even managed properties in NJ only had $25 -$75 application fees (not sure if things changed after Covid. In GA, it is $350). If I like GA, I’ll proceed to buy a home. Thanks for your insight.

@@pinklobelia2389 of course. Lawrenceville’s downtown area is great for social events, restaurants, but a good middle ground is Grayson or Snellville. Make sure you explore those cities when you get down here, and call me when your close to getting ready to buy so we can get you prepared. :-)
