Wilder, located between Broad Street and Shaw Air Force Base, is a residential and civic-minded Sumter neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a low-key, lived-in feel. Activity concentrates around Broad Street near the Sumter County Courthouse, where lunch counters, local offices, and storefronts set a steady weekday rhythm. Nearby, Sumter Opera House anchors the calendar with performances in a restored downtown setting. The Sumter County Museum adds a local-history lens through exhibits and grounds that read like a walk-through timeline. Swan Lake Iris Gardens brings water, paths, and seasonal color into the routine. Housing trends toward mid-century ranches and traditional single-story homes with deep yards and mature shade.

Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of these two districts is to recognize the essential suburban living character of significant portions of the City and County of Sumter where low and medium density single-family residential development is the predominant living environment of the existing and future population. Also, changing patterns of work and home environments create incentives to view the single-family dwelling as a center of work and residential living activities.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Single unit
Agriculture-Cropland
Park & open space
