About Granville County
A mid-sized rural area with almost 50,000 residents, Granville County is a growing region with a slightly slower pace; its beautiful countryside and scenic farmland offer a small-town feel and landscape just minutes from the larger metro areas. Granville includes Oxford, Creedmoor and several other towns, and though the area's pastoral setting seems to continue indefinitely, the culture, activity, and action-packed business worlds of Raleigh and Durham are actually just a short drive away, as is Research Triangle Park. There is a mix of industry and history here, with much of the economy based on industries with major distribution centers. Major universities are within a 45-minute drive–UNC Chapel Hill, NC State, NCCU and Duke University are all nearby.
This region offers residents the serenity of life in the country just minutes from city life with all of its rich culture, nationally ranked sports teams, innumerable dining options and metropolitan offerings. Raleigh Durham International Airport is only thirty minutes away, and I-85 runs through the center of Granville County for easy accessibility to points in every direction. Additionally, the Oxford-Henderson Airport offers corporate jet service. Overall, Granville provides an easy commute to almost any East Coast destination, with a quality (and affordable) lifestyle serenely situated in a scenic, rural setting.
