If you’re looking for a single-family home or a townhouse where your family can enjoy expansive green spaces right in your backyard, here’s an overview of the development.
Homes in Covington Lakes
As one would expect from a gated community, Covington Lakes offers plenty of space for you and your family. That’s why single-family homes here often measure between 2,100 and 2,800 square feet, and typically feature 4 bedrooms and 2 or 3-car garages. Homes sit on lots of up to half an acre.
Properties also have an open floor plan that allows residents to customize the space as they see fit. If your family loves watching movies or cooking, you can make your living room or kitchen bigger to better suit your needs.
The community also offers townhouses that measure 1,350 to 1,546 square feet, with 2 to 3 bedrooms. These homes are ideal for empty nesters or as weekend homes.
Community amenities
It is often a community’s amenities that bring neighbors together. Luckily, Covington Lakes offers a lot.

Great schools
Covington Lakes is also close to top-notch schools such as Chesak and Martin Elementary, Marlowe Middle School, and Huntley High School. In fact, many kids just take a bike to school.
