A small suburb across from Shaw Air Force Base
Cherryvale is a small suburb directly across from Sumter County’s largest employer - Shaw Air Force Base. About 20,000 people, including active-duty military members and their families, live on Shaw, but Connie Morse says many still choose to live off base. A local Realtor with RE/MAX Summit, Morse has over 25 years of experience selling homes in Sumter. “Cherryvale is so close, it’s basically a part of the base,” she says. “You’re going to hear the military anywhere you go in Sumter, but you’re definitely going to hear it more in the Cherryvale area.” Though military jets practice overhead occasionally, Morse says, “Most people never complain; that’s the sound of freedom to us.”
Cherryvale is a small suburb near Shaw Air Force Base, which has a workforce of 20,000 people.
