Surrounding the city are Interstates 95, 20, 77 and 26.  In addition, seven US highways and many South Carolina routes meet in the center of the city. Sumter is also well positioned to other South Carolina areas.

The Blue Ridge Parkway and the mountains are 175 miles northwest, while the Myrtle Beach SC Grand Strand and some of the nicest beaches in the country are only 100 miles to the east.

Sumter has a population of about 45,000 people and is the county seat of Sumter County South Carolina, which has a total population of about 108,000 people.

Sumter's size is in between a metropolitan center and a small town, with tree lined streets and parks that are perfect for taking a shady break from a summer stroll.

Two school districts, with twenty-nine facilities, several private schools and a University of South Carolina branch in the area, make Sumter South Carolina a great place to raise a family.
