Other major communities in relative close proximity are Boston, Massachusetts (40 miles northeast); Hartford, Connecticut (50 miles west); Concord, New Hampshire (100 miles north); and New York City (150 miles southwest).

Primarily a suburb of Providence, Greenville sits on the northern shores of Slack Reservoir, and is surrounded by some quaint rural scenery that is a landscape of healthy green pastures and gently rolling hills. Agriculture has long been the backbone of the area’s economy before the rise of modern manufacturing and retail-trade practices that now dominates the economic base.

Greenville is served by an excellent school district, and seven colleges and universities are located within a 15 mile radius, including Brown University, Bryant College, Providence College, the Community College of Rhode Island, and Johnson and Wales University.
