Local Area

You are here: surrounded by exceptional climate, culture, and convenience!

At The Covington, the living is fun and easy!

Our vibrant, recently renovated Life Plan community in Aliso Viejo conveniently and thoughtfully provides all the daily choices you could ever want—like fine dining, our celebrated Schumacher Concert Series, recreation, relaxation, visits from the Los Angeles Ballet and LA Opera, and opportunities for continued personal growth through our Creative Living Academy. So you never need to leave the refreshing ocean breezes of our unusually temperate campus—unless you want to!

Fortunately for you, living in South Orange County means you’re always surrounded by truly endless opportunities for personal fulfillment.

So much variety! What’s your pleasure?

Our gated campus is secluded and off the beaten path, but our location is right in the heart of everything you could desire! The Covington is near your favorite shops, restaurants, museums, outdoor recreation, houses of worship, cultural and performing arts, historic points of interest, sources of natural beauty, activities for the grandkids, and every type of sport.
