Convenient central Greenville enclave
In central Greenville, within just a few miles of East Carolina University (ECU) and the ECU Health Medical Center, Elmhurst-Englewood offers a quick commute for students and professionals alike. Its proximity to the university and the hospital is a large part of the neighborhood’s appeal, according to local Realtor Yvette Lewis of Legacy Premier Real Estate. In fact, she says being close to all kinds of Greenville amenities, including shopping and dining, grade schools and ECU sports stadiums, factors into the neighborhood's appeal to homebuyers. “There’s a mix of young people as well as older people and families. Greenville in general has a hometown feel, but of course we have ECU and the medical center, which give it more of a city feel. This neighborhood is the best of both vibes, because of its location close to everything.”
Classic mid-to-late-20th century homes
The wide, gently curved residential streets here are shaded by tall oak and pine trees. Broad, neatly trimmed front lawns tend to extend straight to the curb, uninterrupted by sidewalks. Most homes, whether they’re midcentury ranch-style, 1970s split-levels or 1980s Colonial Revivals, feature attached garages/carports and long driveways. Prices start at around $229,000 and can climb to a little more than $380,000. The median hovers close to the $270,000 mark, on par with the wider city. “Everything is starting to get some days on the market now, but in this neighborhood, homes usually sell reasonably quick,” says Lewis. On average, Elmhurst-Englewood homes are on the market for around 37 days — seven days shorter than the national average.
Pitt County schools close to home
Youngsters between preschool and fifth grade go to Elmhurst Elementary, which earns a B-minus from Niche. Older students continue to C.M. Eppes Middle, which gets a C-plus, and J.H. Rose High, which gets a B-plus. The list of clubs and extracurriculars Rose High offers is lengthy, ranging in focus from drama and dance to Spanish and student government. Similar to the elementary school, Rose High is ranked third on Niche’s list of the best public high schools in Pitt County. All three schools are also conveniently located within a mile and a half of most homes in the neighborhood.
East Carolina University (ECU) is less than 2 miles northwest of Elmhurst-Englewood, as well. This public university offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs and is the only university in North Carolina with schools of engineering, dentistry and medicine.
Peppermint Park and ECU stadiums around the corner
In the northeast corner of the neighborhood, Peppermint Park offers a playground, picnic shelter and pickleball court. The fully fenced, public park is within a mile of most Elmhurst-Englewood homes. ECU’s Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium is only about a mile west of home, next to the elementary school. At the height of football season, it can seat 50,000 Pirates fans. ECU’s baseball and softball stadiums are just a few blocks away, too. The softball venue, Max R. Joyner Family Stadium, seats a thousand people. Lewis Field at Clark LeClair Stadium, the baseball park, seats 5,000. The school’s NCAA Division I athletics draw spectators from around the country, and proximity to the campus and the three stadiums is a large part of this neighborhood’s appeal. Lewis says that she’s worked with several clients recently who bought homes here for their children to live in while they’re in school at ECU, so they can be close to campus and within walking distance of the stadiums during game seasons. “We’re seeing that more and more, especially if families have more than one child going to ECU, they’ll buy a house here and have their kids live in it for a few years instead of letting them rent on campus.”
Retailers and restaurants at Greenville Mall and Greenville Square
Residents don’t need to venture far for everyday essentials. “Greenville doesn’t have a whole lot: It’s not like Raleigh, but we do have supermarkets and a small mall,” says Lewis. There’s a Publix about a mile west of most homes in the Greenville Square shopping center. Across the street, Greenville Mall is anchored by JCPenney and Belk. The mall also has jewelers and shoe stores, along with familiar clothing retailers such as Torrid, PacSun and American Eagle. Kunny Brothers, a local Realtor with Century 21, says that one of her favorite places to eat in Greenville is Café Duo. The casual restaurant/bar is right next to the Greenville Mall, within a couple miles of Elmhurst-Englewood. “The local spots are my favorite, and Café Duo is a great one,” Brothers says. Lewis adds that one of her top restaurant recommendations is a locally owned eatery in nearby Winterville, a few miles south of Greenville proper. “Main & Mill Oyster Bar & Tavern is fantastic, and it’s not too far from here, only about 5 or 6 miles away.”
Quick commuting around the city
Close to the middle of the city, Elmhurst-Englewood is within easy reach of downtown as well as the ECU Health Medical Center. Downtown is just a couple of miles northwest of most homes; the hospital is less than 4 miles northwest. Both destinations are about a 10-minute drive away, depending on traffic. Greenville Area Transit, or GREAT, provides bus service throughout the city. Locals can catch the bus close to home at one of the stops on Greenville Boulevard, the main thoroughfare that runs east-west along the neighborhood’s southern edge.
