Greenville

Life in the city

Greenville's identity is shaped by ECU and ECU Health Medical Center, the system's flagship teaching hospital and a referral center serving 29 counties. Uptown Greenville, the local name for the downtown near campus, sits between the Tar River and the university, and the Town Common gives the city a 21-acre waterfront park with a river walk that connects into the Tar River Greenway. It adds up to a more urban everyday environment than anywhere else in our coverage area.

Work and opportunity

One pattern runs straight through Greenville. Many people build careers here, at the university, the medical center, or in the city's broader economy, and choose to live in the waterfront towns nearby for the lifestyle those communities offer. The city's role as a regional center also makes it an active market for buyers and investors who want to be where the growth is.

Getting around

Greenville is the principal inland destination for Washington and Chocowinity, connected to the Washington area by the US-264 corridor and to New Bern and the coast by the regional highway network. Because the city is spread out, the drive varies a good deal depending on whether you are near campus, the hospital, Uptown, or an outer neighborhood.

Schools and local institutions

Greenville is served by Pitt County Schools and is home to East Carolina University, ECU Health Medical Center, and Pitt Community College.
