A vibrant community with easy access to urban amenities
Covington Court is situated in the Fossil Park neighborhood, known for its unique circular street layout inspired by Washington D.C.'s famous circles. This distinctive design, dating back to the 1920s, sets the area apart from the typical grid system found in much of St. Petersburg. The neighborhood offers a suburban feel while maintaining proximity to urban conveniences.
The eponymous Fossil Park, just a short distance away, serves as a hub for community activities. It boasts an array of amenities including baseball and softball fields, bike trails, tennis courts, and a skate park. The park's community center is a focal point for the neighborhood, providing a space for residents to gather and engage in various activities.
For those who enjoy cultural experiences, St. Petersburg's famous museums are within easy reach. The city's vibrant downtown area and the new Pier are just a short drive away, offering a plethora of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The eclectic mix of local eateries and shops adds to the neighborhood's charm. Tasty Thai and Salty J's are popular nearby restaurants, while Stone Soup Cafe & Pub offers a cozy atmosphere for casual dining.

For grocery shopping, residents have convenient access to Winn-Dixie, while specialty stores like Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's are a short drive away.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks and green spaces. Edgemoor Park, with its baseball fields, dog park, and walking trails, is perfect for active seniors.

The North Community Library, within walking distance, offers a wealth of resources and hosts various programs tailored to senior interests. This facility serves as an excellent spot for reading, learning, and community engagement.
Convenient access to local and regional destinations
Covington Court's location offers residents a balance of accessibility and tranquility. The area's moderate bike score reflects the presence of bike-friendly infrastructure, making it possible for active seniors to explore the neighborhood on two wheels. While the walk score suggests some errands can be accomplished on foot, most residents find having a car beneficial for daily activities.
Public transportation options are available, with the nearest bus stop located at 4th St N & Lincoln Cir NE, just a short five-minute walk from the complex. This stop is served by the Roy Hanna Dr S/ St Pete/ 34th St line, providing connections to other parts of the city.
The building's location provides access to various points of interest in St. Petersburg and the broader Tampa Bay area. Downtown St. Petersburg, with its array of cultural attractions and dining options, is within driving distance.
When it comes to air travel, residents benefit from proximity to two airports. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is about a 20-minute drive, ideal for domestic flights and some international destinations. For a wider range of flight options, Tampa International Airport is accessible within approximately 25 minutes by car.
The building's provision of assigned parking spots, including covered options, adds to the convenience for residents who own vehicles. This feature is particularly appreciated given the area's reliance on car transportation for many daily activities.
