With its warm period lasting from early April until late September, the Rocky Mount area also enjoys an extended period of comfortable weather-warm days and cool nights. Most summers are hot, but the winters are mild with little snow and few extremely cold days.

The area's most important natural physical feature is the Tar River, a navigable waterway which spurred settlement and development along its banks. The Tar winds its way through eastern North Carolina, tumbling over the Falls of the Tar at present day Rocky Mount, to Tarboro, the inland limit of most river traffic, finally to drain into the Pamlico Sound at Washington.

In the Nash and Edgecombe neighborhoods, lifestyle choices dictate where residents want to live. You will find cost of homes in and around the City of Rocky Mount and the nearby communities of Tarboro, Nashville, Whitakers, or Spring Hope among the lowest in the country, while still maintaining an air of down-home living.
