About Chester

Located at the intersection of 3 unique rail lines, Chester is located in north-central South Carolina and hosts a population of 6,000. With its rustic feel and historical involvements in the American Revolution and Civil War, Chester is beginning to renovate and modernize, while still attempting to capture its heritage of past. In 2006, Chester completed a $1.8 million renewal of the downtown district, including the creation of a park area called Monument Square that includes a Confederate monument, a Civil War cannon, and the Aaron Burr Rock. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Chester find that the town’s location, a few miles off of the I-77 and a 70-minute drive from Columbia makes Chester the perfect compromise between city and rural living, allowing residents to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Chester State Park is the town’s largest park and provides basic facilities such as picnic pavilions, hiking trails, and other natural explorations. However, Wylie Park and the other recreational parks in Chester provide an extensive array of baseball fields, basketball courts, swimming pools, tennis courts, and scenic fitness trails. The Chester Golf Club is a hit for many residents of a Chester house or apartment for rent because of its unique views and removed location on the outskirts of town. The Chester County School District provides complete K-12 public education and operates 2 elementary schools, a middle school, and high school. Unlike most other similarly sized towns, Chester’s campuses are in the heart of the city and within walking distance for most.
