New to the site, I've seen alot of great info already. I'm getting relocated to work in Rocky MT. However, my family and I would like to east of RM, so we're closer to the water. I don't mind driving 30 minutes to an hour to get to RM for work. Can anybody suggest towns to live in?

Some of the things we want are basic, for example, low crime, good schools, family oriented town, organized sports, etc etc... I'm big into hunting and fishing, which is the main reason I'd like to stay east of RM.

I've checked out (online) Tarboro, not sure what to think of it. Greenville might be a little too far, not sure how bad traffic can be.

We're basically starting from scratch and would love a few pointers on decent towns to look at. Thanks for your help!

Joe

As an FYI, you'll probably get more and better responses if you re-post this on the Coastal NC board.

Hmmm...Greenville is a 45 minute commute to Rocky Mount. Its not a terrible commute because there is little traffic. That's an hour and a half a day for you though.

Greenville is your best option. If you want to cut down that drive to about an hour, you could consider Farmville, which has its own schools and is a nicely situated town. Its going to be small town though, so you would have to really like it. It has easy access to Greenville and places east via 264.

Rocky Mount is a nice city to live in. Neighborhoods in Nash county are a LOT better. Avoid Edgecombe county areas of RMT. If you choose to stay outside of Rocky Mount, I would suggest towns/cities: Greenville, Wilson or Nashville.

That mall not only sucks but it can be extremely dangerous. A few shootings in the last few years and just recently a stabbing. The person stabbed was an undercover cop
