The small but rapidly growing town of Pineville is well known throughout the region for the charming cluster of antique shops that line Main Street. In spite of the quiet residential atmosphere, Pineville attracts a regional population to burgeoning shopping centers, a major mall, flourishing businesses, and services that include a state-of-the-art medical park with one of the area’s finest hospitals. This well-managed community even owns and operates its own utilities including telephone service that provides high-speed Internet access and business communications systems. The local parks and recreation department provides opportunities for basketball, karate, cheerleading, aerobics, cardio-kickboxing, weights, racquetball, ceramics, summer camp, and many special events.
