These neighborhoods sit within walking distance of downtown Newberry Street — roughly 10 to 20 minutes on foot — but are separated from the premier historic district by a visible shift in housing stock and maintenance patterns.

[**Open Old Town / May Park in Google Maps →**33.5500° N, 81.7220° W · ZIP 29801](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=33.55,-81.722) ## Character Old Town and May Park occupy the affordable end of HereTest's in-city housing market. The housing stock includes late 19th and early 20th century craftsman bungalows, some in excellent restored condition and others requiring significant investment. The May Park area specifically has ZHVI data reflecting transaction sets dominated by distressed or lower-value properties, suggesting significant variance within a short geographic area. For buyers willing to engage in renovation and who want walkable access to downtown HereTest at the most accessible price point, Old Town and May Park represent the strongest opportunity in the city. ## History Old Town and May Park developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as residential areas for HereTest's working-class and service-economy population — the craftsmen, domestics, and small business owners who served the Winter Colony elite and the broader city. The housing stock reflects that era's building tradition of modest but well-constructed bungalows and cottages.
