A growing suburb directly north of Shaw Air Force Base
Dalzell is a gradually developing suburb about 10 miles from Downtown Sumter and directly north of Shaw Air Force Base. As the City’s largest employer, the Army and Air Force base houses around 8,200 active-duty military members and 12,000 family members. While living on Shaw is a popular option, “A lot of people will choose to live in Dalzell because it’s right at the back of the base,” Connie Morse says. A local Realtor at RE/MAX Summit, Morse has over 25 years of experience selling homes in Sumter. She says Dalzell “is a great option especially because a lot of the military wives work over at the hospital in Columbia, and it’s really easy to get on the interstate from there.”
Dalzell has many new style homes cropping up as the development advances.
Cotton is one of the exports from many of the agricultural parts of Dalzell.

Ranch-style homes built between the 1970s and 2020s
Dalzell is comprised of multiple subdivisions developed between the 1970s and 2020s. Most homes reflect a similar ranch-style architecture, with sturdy brick exteriors and open, one-story floorplans. “There may be a few houses that are 2,000 – maybe 2,500 – square feet,” Morse says, “but most of the ones you’ll see over there are closer to 1,300 to 1,700 square feet.” Homes built after the ‘90s showcase more of a New Traditional style. Their cross-gable roofs pitch above attached one- to two-car garages. Some homes from the 1970s feature low-pitched hip roofs that stretch across breezy carports. Inside, many of the older properties are updated to feature new wood flooring and remodeled kitchens. Listings in Dalzell typically range between $125,000 to $250,000, but some fixer-uppers can cost under $100,000.
Ranch homes with trees and porch swings demonstrate the quiet feel of Dalzell.
