Covina highlight
Historic downtown
Downtown Covina's Citrus Avenue District preserves early 1900s architecture and hosts a renovated performing arts center as its cultural centerpiece.
Downtown Covina is anchored by the Citrus Avenue District, which retains buildings dating back to the early 1900s and maintains the preserved vintage character of the city's historic core. The district features a mix of locally-owned shops, restaurants, antique stores, and services that reflect Covina's original character. The area sits approximately 20 miles east of Los Angeles, positioned between the I-10 and I-210 freeways with views of the San Gabriel Mountain Range.
The Center for the Performing Arts, a $10 million renovation project, now serves as the architectural and entertainment anchor of downtown. The Covina Valley Historical Society operates two heritage museums: the Firehouse and Jail Museum, originally built in 1911 and open on Sunday afternoons, and the Heritage House museum at Covina Park. City Hall displays "Vintage Years," a photographic exhibition of 130 rare historical images documenting Covina from 1846 to 1950, available for public self-guided tours.
Downtown serves as gathering space for Covina families and the hub of community identity. From school performances at the performing arts center to family outings downtown, these are the places and moments that matter most. That's the same frame of mind that goes into planning term life coverage: protecting the continuity of family traditions and the financial security families depend on.
