Tar River-University Neighborhood Association:
WHERE NEIGHBORS BECOME FRIENDS
WELCOME TO TRUNA
The Tar River-University Neighborhood Association (TRUNA) represents one of Greenville's most established and strategically located communities. Situated between East Carolina University and Downtown Greenville, the TRUNA area is uniquely positioned at the intersection of residential living, academic life, and urban vitality.
Our neighborhood is defined by a strong sense of community, long-standing homes, and close proximity to the Tar River, ECU's main campus, medical facilities, local businesses, cultural venues, and city services. Residents benefit from walkable streets, mature landscaping, and convenient access to everything that makes Greenville a dynamic and growing city.
TRUNA exists to promote neighborhood engagement, protect the character of our community, and serve as a unified voice for residents on issues affecting quality of life, development, safety, and sustainability. Whether you are a long-time homeowner, a new resident, or simply interested in learning more about our area, TRUNA welcomes your involvement and participation.
