Covington, LA
Covington sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain a few miles from Mandeville, and its historic downtown, built around a well-preserved grid of 19th-century buildings, has developed a genuine arts-town identity, with a concentration of galleries, working artist studios, and the St. Tammany Art Association drawing visitors specifically for its creative community. The city has become a haven for writers and musicians over the decades, and Covington's relatively small scale and historic character have made it a popular alternative for New Orleans-area residents seeking a quieter, more walkable small-town setting without leaving the broader metro region entirely. The Tammany Trace rail-trail, the same paved path running through Mandeville, extends through Covington as well, giving the city direct biking and walking access to neighboring north shore communities along a former railroad corridor. Covington's combination of a well-preserved historic downtown, a genuine concentration of working artists and writers, and direct rail-trail connections to neighboring communities has made it one of the more culturally distinctive small towns anywhere on Lake Pontchartrain's north shore.
VS
Chalmette, LA
Chalmette is the site of the Battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815, in which General Andrew Jackson's forces decisively defeated a larger British army in the final major battle of the War of 1812 — a victory that, due to the slow transatlantic communication of the era, actually took place after a peace treaty had already been signed, though word hadn't yet reached either army. Chalmette National Battlefield, part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, preserves the battlefield grounds and a national cemetery on the site, giving the small St. Bernard Parish community direct stewardship of one of the most significant battle sites in American military history. The community was devastated by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge in 2005, with St. Bernard Parish suffering some of the most severe and near-total flooding of the entire New Orleans metro area, and Chalmette's subsequent rebuilding has made it a frequently cited case study in Gulf Coast disaster recovery. Chalmette's combination of hosting one of the most historically significant battlefields in American history and its severe Katrina flooding and subsequent rebuilding has made it one of the most historically and recently consequential suburbs anywhere in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area.
