Working and Living in Greenville
Greenville is widely recognized as the thriving cultural, educational, economic, and medical hub of eastern North Carolina. While retaining our Southern charm and hospitality, Greenville has grown into the 12th-largest city in the state and is now a thriving, small metropolitan city of nearly 100,000 in the heart of Pitt County.
Located close to ECU’s Main Campus, a vibrant uptown district is home to diverse art, music, food and festival offerings and features an increasing number of unique, locally owned businesses, galleries, shops and restaurants. Greenville is centrally located in eastern North Carolina, a region whose coastal environment provides a backdrop for tourism, water sports and wildlife viewing. The Outer Banks to the east can be reached within a few hours’ drive, and Raleigh to the west is a couple hours away.
