A small suburb conveniently located in the heart of Sumter
Crosswell sits at a major crossroads right in the heart of Sumter. A direct throughway to South Carolina’s capital city runs along the neighborhood’s north end and an interstate highway cuts straight through the middle. North Main Street borders the community’s west side and links to the downtown shops and restaurants in about a half a mile. In 2024, the City Council approved a new revitalization plan that will add bike lanes and freshly paved sidewalks along North Main Street. Former Sumter City Planner and current Realtor at Re/Max Summit Talmadge Tobias says this is just one of many community investments the city’s made over the last several years. “It’s been great for all of us who’ve lived here for a while," Tobias says, "and it’s definitely helped bring more people to Sumter.”
Crosswell residents enjoy how close downtown Sumpter is to them.
Sumpter is located less than 10 minutes away from Crosswell, SC.

“Affordable homes” built between the 1930s and ‘60s
U.S. Route 15 splits Crosswell into two residential sections. Homes on the neighborhood’s west side date back to the 1930s and feature minimal updates. Across the street, most of the houses were built between the 1950s and ‘60s. They have renovated interiors, with new wood floors and modern kitchens. On both sides of the neighborhood, properties typically reflect Minimal Traditional ranch-style architecture. “One of Crosswell’s biggest draws is its affordability,” Tobias says. Older investment properties cost between $15,000 and $60,000, while recently remodeled homes range from about $100,000 to $175,000.
Many Crosswell locals live in single story homes in Crosswell.

New basketball courts at Crosswell Drive Park
Narrow sidewalks make it easy to access Crosswell Drive Park. Situated across from Crosswell Elementary, the park has a loop walking track, a central playground and a gazebo. It added three new basketball courts in 2022, thanks to city officials. Another basketball court and playground are less than a mile west at Riley Park. The focal point here is a 90-year-old ballpark, originally home to Sumter’s minor league baseball teams. The stadium underwent major renovations in 2024, and today, it hosts local college baseball games and the American Legion P-15’s team.
