A growing city filled with community and local pride
Greenville is a rapidly growing area on the edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, attracting those looking to escape the urban sprawl. The city, once known as the cotton capital of the world, is the enlistment site of Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier during World War II. He now has a local museum named after him that draws thousands of visitors annually. "We really care about our history and our people," says Micah McBay, Convention and Visitors Bureau manager.
The largest employer in the community is L3 Harris, an Aeronautics firm that employs around 8,000 people. Other prominent employers include the hospitals and the school district. The healthy economy and proximity to the DFW area have helped Greenville grow. "We expect Greenville to hit 40,000 people by the next census," McBay says. "We were at 27,000 for the last one and are now at 33,000. This is after it was essentially stagnant at 22,000 people from 1970 till about 2017."

Neighborhoods Mineral Heights feature ranch-style and manufactured homes priced between $300,000 and $350,000. Large estate houses with acreage sit on the outskirts and carry a price tag between $500,000 and over $1 million. As the city grows, more living spaces are built to accommodate. "We have about 8,000 homes platted in Greenville ready to be built with huge subdivisions going in," McBay says.

Strong local businesses along Lee Street
Much of Greenville's retail and restaurant scene is centered around Johnson Street. Town South Shopping Center has several shops, eateries and a Planet Fitness gym. Downtown is home to several local restaurants, modest shops and boutiques. "As we continue to build, new businesses open here," McBay says. "There are lots of opportunities for people looking to open a business." Residents can head to the Metroplex for more shopping and dining, but McBay says they don't need to. "We're kind of a regional shopping area for the small towns around us, especially for the people that don't want to drive into Dallas."
The presence of Planet Fitness promotes a healthy lifestyle in the Greenville community.

Greenville hosts various events and festivities throughout the year, especially during the holidays.

The first weekend of December is the Christmas parade, with festive floats, bands and an appearance by Santa in Downtown Greenville. "The parade is always a big hit. Thousands turn out," McBay says. The Lee Street Jamboree is a street party every third Friday in September, the day before the Cotton Patch Challenge Bike Ride, where hundreds of riders take place in the ride around town.

50 miles from Dallas
Greenville sits about 50 miles northeast of Dallas at the intersection of major roadways. Interstate 30 cuts through the city and runs across Lake Ray Hubbard into Dallas. Highway 34 runs north and south through the center of town and connects with other major highways and the interstate. "We are on the edge of the Metroplex but have easy access to the Dallas urban center," McBay says. "I can jump in my car and go see the Cowboys, Taylor Swift, or anything in the Metro within two hours, with traffic." DFW International Airport is a 65-mile drive away. Hunt Regional Family Medicine and Glen Oaks Hospital are the main medical facilities in Greenville.

Greenville SportsPark is a sprawling complex on the neighborhood's southern end with six baseball and softball fields, nine various-sized soccer fields and four sand volleyball courts. "The parks do a lot for our community, between youth sports and fun activities for our senior adults," McBay says. Wright Park is home to the city's nine-hole municipal golf course; surrounding pocket parks include Graham Park, Jones Park and Betts Park. Hikers can enjoy the 132-mile Northeast Texas Trail, which spans 19 cities across seven counties.
