Living in Sumter

Located in the heart of the state, Sumter is just a short drive from the mountains and in the other direction from the ocean. Sumter, South Carolina straddles the Sandhills, Pee Dee, and Lowcountry regions making for an ideal place to call home.

 

With nature as its backdrop, Sumter’s residents can take advantage of outdoor activities such as boating, birding, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and horseback riding. And being home to Shaw Air Force Base, cultural diversity is found right here in our community. Our vibrant community is well-loved for its events and festivals, memorable dining experiences, employment and industry opportunities, history, and heritage.
