Resident life

Eastern North Carolina offers the perfect backdrop for professional growth with ample opportunities for downtime recreation. As the hub of eastern North Carolina, Greenville is a vibrant college town with a warm, welcoming community, affordable cost of living and variety of housing options. Greenville is home to East Carolina University, bringing energy, diversity, and culture to our city. A growing culinary scene, live music, performing arts, and numerous downtown festivals make Greenville a hidden gem. Biking and hiking on the city’s greenway trails and state parks as well as world-class fishing and boating in nearby rivers and sounds provide plenty of ways to spend time outdoors. Our proximity to the Atlantic coast and Outer Banks enable residents to spend weekends off at the beach, exploring barrier islands. Easy day trips to Raleigh and nearby historic towns like New Bern and Washington also make for excellent weekend activities. A regional airport with multiple daily flights to Charlotte makes air travel a breeze.
