Historic Queen Annes, Craftsman bungalows and American Foursquares
Homes in Hampton Park sit on tree-covered residential blocks less than a half-mile from Main Street. Many homes in Hampton Park’s Historic District date back to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They come in various architectural styles, from Queen Annes with wrought-iron façade details to vernacular American Foursquares made of brick. Stately Georgian-style homes stand tall next to cozy Craftsman bungalows and boxy Cape Cods. Some newer homes were built as recently as 2023, but Tobias says these are few and far between. “People move here because they like its older, more traditional look and feel.” The design review board preapproves all construction plans to keep the neighborhood’s nostalgic, charming character intact. Much like the home styles, listing prices vary in Hampton Park. An average three-bedroom house, whether old or new, usually ranges from $100,000 to $400,000.

Walk to Memorial Park and Sumter County Museum
Hampton Park is home to one of the city’s oldest parks. Located on the corner of Park and West Hampton Avenues, Memorial Park “is dedicated to the brave soldiers who fought here during the Revolutionary War,” Tobias says. Its paved walking trail passes by a central gazebo and winds under towering trees, many of which “are more than a century old,” Tobias adds. Local artisans showcase their work and teach classes at the Sumter County Gallery of Art about a block north. On the neighborhood’s east edge, the Sumter Museum is a historic Edwardian-style house dating back to 1916. Antique furniture and intricate woodwork decorate each room, while the backyard replicates a typical working farm from the mid-eighteenth century.
The walking trail at Memorial Park is well-liked by people who walk their dogs.
The Sumter County Museum features original homes that have been relocated to the back lot area.
