Woodsy community with access to Dillon Park and Shaw AFB
Quiet pine woods and lush green fields surround the community of Mulberry. Located minutes from recreation hot spots like Dillon Park and Crystal Lakes Golf Course, residents of Mulberry have convenient access to some of North Sumter's most popular green spaces. "It's a slower-paced area of Sumter, close to the highway, so commuting to major employers like Shaw Air Force Base is easy," says Realtor Talmadge Tobias with Re/MAX Summit. Tobias is a retired city manager and Sumter native who has been a Realtor for 19 years. "The military community is very important here, and many buyers are from the community, so if they want to live in town, access to the base is necessary." The neighborhood is also in proximity to several county civic buildings, including Sumter County Sherrif’s Office, Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center and Sumter County Animal Control.
Mulberry sits close to the Crystal Lakes golf course where anyone can play.
Mulberry residents can enjoy the many options offered at Dillon Park.

Ranch-style homes off Highway 76
This older community is quiet, surrounded by churches, farmland and sky-scraping pine trees. Most homes have lots large enough for plenty of backyard amenities. Homes here are concentrated in small subdivisions, with no sidewalks, but roads are generally quiet enough for morning jogs or walking a pet. There is a manufactured home community on Jerry Street, but these homes are rarely for sale. Small shingle-style cottages cost between $35,000 and $80,000, and brick or shingle ranch-style homes cost between $145,000 and $195,000. Lots are also available for custom home-building, which costs between $7,000 and $15,000.
Many Mulberry homes are shingled ranches and feature car ports.

Minutes from the activities of Dillon Park
Mulberry is 3 miles from Crystal Lakes Golf Course, a popular public 18-hole course. The golf course is adjacent to Julia Lester Dillon Park. The spacious recreation area has athletic fields, a playground and a disc golf course. It's also known for its Bark Park, a popular dog park with shade and plenty of places for pet parents to sit. Dillon Park hosts community events throughout the year, like vintage car meet-ups, the Fourth of July Fireworks in the Park and the Dillon Dubs, a disc golf league event. "Dillon Park connects to trails on the Shot Pouch Greenway," Tobias says. "It runs all the way through town and down to Swan Lake Iris Gardens. It has a lot of shade and is popular for walking and biking." Swan Lake Iris Gardens is one of Sumter's most popular green spaces. Realtor Megan Strickland with ERA Realty agrees. "Swan Lake is what Sumter is best known for," Strickland says. "The trails are beautiful, and there's the Iris Festival, which has a lot of games, food and music. It lasts three days every May."

There are also SWRTA shuttles offering service to the base and Columbia. Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital is less than 3 miles from Mulberry. Columbia Metro Airport is a close option when residents need to fly, but both Tobias and Strickland say that many Sumter residents drive to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. Charlotte is 115 miles away but offers direct and worldwide flights.
