Greenville, I love it - 5/21/2007
It is growing, the job market is improving, new schools and subdivisions are being built everywhere, the park systems is nice, East Carolina University continues to grow bigger and bigger each year, there are many outdoor activities to partake in, 65 to 70 degree weather during the early and late winter, spring, and early fall and hot and humid weather during the summer, and its location near the NC Coast and larger cities such as Washington, DC, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, and Charlotte are all reasons why I have fell in love with Greenville. The only improvements would be to build more roads and highways to deal with the increase in traffic and residents, have a bigger indoor mall, make improvements to the downtown area with bigger and taller buildings, apartments, stores, and parking, and improvements to the west Greenville neighborhood of the city, which is the city's

Fast Growing, Great Place to Raise a Family - 5/9/2007
Positives
My husband and I moved to Greenville four years ago and this place has grown leaps and bounds since our arrival. There have been many new subdivisions, roads, shopping center, restaurants, hotels and businesses constructed and the population seems to grow each year. Moving from New York, Greenville is a welcomed change. Majority of those that live here are friendly, besides three major roads, traffic is not too bad of a problem, and life is much more simpler than in New York. Greenville has a nice mix of southerners and "Yankees" like myself whom have relocated to this area. That has made this city very dynamic.
Greenville is a great place to raise a family. My children love it here. The park and greenway system is really good, and the schools are pretty good. The houses in eastern and souther parts of the city and area are huge and really cheap as compared to other areas in NC and on the east coast. The cost of living is reasonable and way

Living here in general.... - 12/26/2006
If you like warm weather you will enjoy the climate here. The biggest employers are East Carolina University and the hospital. People are friendly. The area is very flat so if you like rolling hills etc this is not the place for you. Housing is affordable. If you want more to do, you will need to go to Raleigh. Easy drive to the coast. Lived here for a few years and the area does seem to be

What's Greenville Like Compared to Coastal Cities? - 6/8/2006
I lived there 7 years and went through 5 hurricanes. If you like really hot and humid weather, then you will love it.
It is economically very dynamic compared to New Bern. Wilmington is more diverse.
Within East Carolina University and the business community (especially the hospital), it is a very progressive place. Outside the city, it is still very old south. Don't expect progressive ideas on race to be very well received.
It has the most regional pride of anywhere i have ever lived. If you are not from there, you really are not from there. God forbid that you are a Yankee. They won't let you forget it.
But, it is a safe and economically friendly place to raise a family. You just have to go a ways for culture and even farther for professional sports.
The coast is a little more friendly to outsiders and is less humid. Although you are in the eye of the storm with
