Cherryvale Homes for Rent

Cherryvale, a small suburb in Sumter, is situated directly across from Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter County’s largest employer. The neighborhood is characterized by a mix of housing styles, including ranch-style homes from the 1960s to ‘80s, mobile homes, and newer subdivisions like Hortonfield, which features New Traditional craftsman and Colonial Revival homes. Cherryvale is known for its close-knit community, with many homes within walking distance of the community center and Cherryvale Elementary School. U.S. Route 378 separates Cherryvale from the base and connects residents to Downtown Sumter, about 10 miles away, where they can find shops, restaurants, and the local hospital. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is approximately 45 miles west. Everyday essentials are conveniently located within 5 miles, including grocery stores like Food Lion and local dining spots such as Jeffrey Lampkin’s Country Boy Kitchen, known for its Southern cuisine. The Cherryvale Community Center offers a free after-school program, an indoor basketball court, a playground, and a walking trail. Lake Cherryvale is a popular spot for fishing largemouth bass. Despite the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the water supply due to historical use of firefighting foam at Shaw Air Force Base, the U.S. Department of Defense provides residents with bottled water monthly. Cherryvale is part of the Sumter School District, with Cherryvale Elementary, Hillcrest Middle, and Crestwood High School serving the area.
