We are proud to say that we have many excellent pre-K providers in our area as well as the most comprehensive support system for "launching every child as a healthy, lifelong learner by the end of Third grade" through our Down East Partnership for Children.

HealthCare
One of the most important factors when choosing your new community is access to quality healthcare. We are very proud of our healthcare systems in the greater Rocky Mount area. To say it is comparable to what you would find in larger metropolitan areas is not a stretch. We also have a number of specialists, private practices and specialty care facilities in the region.

Real Estate
Rent or Own…it is still all about location, location.
Being located on the I-95 and I-64 crossroads; 2.5 hours from the eastern shoreline and 3 hours from the mountain peaks, we have location, location.
Great deals can still be had for our younger families looking to become first-time homeowners; for our seniors on the other side of the spectrum, we have a nice selection of senior living options. If you are young and single, check out our apartment communities or rent a home. For everyone else who is in between, take your pick. Would you prefer a ranch? How about a stately Georgian Colonial?
