HEY PIRATES!!! - - WHY RENT WHEN YOU CAN BUY!
Greenville, NC - ECU - Students - Thats the question of the day! Renters beware! Why get charged $400-600 per bedroom when you can easily purchase (with or without assistance from your parents) and have EQUITY and TAX BREAKS at the same time. Greenville NC is full of student housing and apartments, there is no doubt about that. However, the University Area has several affordable options in condos, town homes and single family residences that can be purchased and lived in while in college. Think of it as an investment! Why throw your hard earned money into a rental and have nothing to show for it at the end. Also, you may be elegible for the $8,000 TAX CREDIT for first time homebuyers (YES - a CREDIT). Again, with rates so low and a plethora of options, NOW is the Time to BUY!
Such great areas include BREEZEWOOD, UPTON COURT, COLINDALE COURT, ELMHURT, ENGLEWOOD, FOREST HILLS, UNIVERSITY, FORBES WOODS, RAGSDALE, COLONIAL HEIGHTS, COLLEGE COURT, BROWNLEA, ROCK SPRINGS.
Popular Streets Close to Campus: Elm, Library, Eastern, Willow, Summit, Jarvis, Warren, Student, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Biltmore, Harding, Rotary, Meade, Woodlawn, Holly, Oak, Ash, Hilltop, Lewis, Maple, Charles, Cotache, Forbes, Rock Springs, etc.

Prescription Drugs - Can't Afford the Drugs You Can't Live Without?
A Pitt County program is offering some help!
The Pitt County Council on Aging is working to identify and assist seniors with limited incomes in applying for the Low Income Subsidy and/or NCRx to help with prescription drug expenses.
Anyone on Medicare can get Medicare prescription drug coverage; those with limited income and resources may also be eligible for Extra Help to pay for Medicare prescription drug plan premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. Extra Help is estimated to be worth an average of $3,900 per year, and many people are unaware they qualify.
Anyone on Medicare who has full Medicaid coverage, whose Medicare Part B premium is paid by the state, or who receives SSI benefits is automatically qualified for Extra Help and does not need to complete an application.
Those who do not qualify for the full federal "Extra Help" subsidy may qualify for North Carolina's NCRx Program. The program provides up to $29 per month toward the monthly premium of a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan that participates in NCRx. Staff at the Pitt County Council on Aging can assist with NCRx applications in addition to assisting with applications for Extra Help. Call 752-1717, ext. 10 for more information or to file an application.

Welcome to Greenville and Pitt County - the hub of Eastern North Carolina!
Greenville is now the retail, healthcare, educational, cultural and sports hub of Eastern North Carolina. The designation has been rightfully earned by the people of the region by both carefully preserving a rich historical heritage and displaying an energetic willingness to adapt to a changing economic and commercial world.
From every retail store you can imagine, to a world-class regional medical facility and heart center, to one of the state's largest universities and a top-notch medical school to college athletics and "Sportstown USA" recreation to high-achieving public schools to cultural opportunities akin to big-city life, Pitt County is rich in opportunity.
Progressive planning and cooperation between government, business and private citizens has allowed the Greenville MSA to maintain a careful balance between economic growth and a high quality of life for old-family residents and newcomers alike. The region continues to combine a low cost of living with ideal climate, truly superior recreational capabilities, excellent medical and educational facilities, a well-trained, eager and loyal work force and cultural amenities usually found in much larger and more cosmopolitan population centers.
Greenville offers something which is becoming increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world - a small town atmosphere ideal in which to live, work, play and raise a family and all without sacrificing any of the "big city" lures of arts and culture, shopping centers, entertainment, education and medical services. Pitt County is also home to 8 other municipalities, each with their own charm and unique atmospheres.
Whether you are visiting this region of North Carolina for recreation and relaxation or are considering becoming a part of its ever-expanding business, medical or educational communities, we welcome the chance to show you that we're dedicated to make your stay (short or life-long!) here one that is second to none.

"We couldn't be happier with the help of our Realtor, Deryck Wilson. He observed our needs and found our dream home. The experience, knowledge and professionalism he carries showed through the entire transaction. We relocated from the North, near Bridgewater, Mass and the move was big for us. However, due to Deryck's willingness to familiarize us with this area personally, we feel right at home. Thanks a lot!"
