It's not quite Mayberry or the Big Apple, but the "good ol' in between" makes the Sumter area the perfect place to call home, whether you’re looking for quiet solitude or active fun with family and friends. With its award-winning educational system, locally owned shops and state-of-the-art recreational facilities, Sumter has something for everyone. Sumter also received national recognition as the first community to implement the council-manager system of government, which is now the standard for more than 2,500 cities. For Olympians-in-training, the Sumter Aquatic Center provides the public with a competition-sized pool, and the Palmetto Tennis Center offers18 free courts for those working on their serves and backhands. At Swan Lake/Iris Gardens, you can get close to eight types of swans and hundreds of varieties of flowers. The proud military contributions of Shaw AFB are also an important part of Sumter's identity, along with Santee Lake. Quality of life, affordability and location make Sumter the perfect place to live
and play.
