Sioux Falls Overview

Trying to find a place to live in the Midwest with a lower cost of living? Check out Sioux Falls — the fastest growing city in South Dakota! No state income tax or property tax, low sales taxes, and a low cost of living overall make Sioux City a highly affordable place to call home. Located in southeastern  SD right near the Iowa border, the city also offers stunning natural surroundings! And it’s conveniently close to many places for a day trip or weekend getaway — including Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Badlands National Park! Let’s dive deeper into why homes for rent in Sioux Falls are an incredible bargain!

What is the history of Sioux Falls?

The Big Sioux River drew many settlers to the region back in the mid-1800s. That population growth led to the Village of Sioux Falls being established in 1876. But more and more settlers continued to come to the area, leading to the once-small prairie village becoming a full-fledged city in 1889. At the start of the 20th century, Sioux Falls had over 10,000 residents! That number grew to over 150,000 by the early 2000s — and continues to grow. Over the years, the picturesque Sioux Falls have been a major attraction for locals and tourists alike!   

How is the weather in Sioux Falls?

Looking for an area with pleasantly warm summer days and some winter wonderland weather? That’s what you can look forward to as a Sioux Falls resident! The winter months bring highs in the 20s and lows that can drop to the single digits. But those hot summer days make up for the cold! Summer highs are in the mid-80s and lows tend to be in the low 60s. Spring and fall highs range from the 50s to 70s, with lows in the 30s and 40s. Sioux Falls gets an average of 44 inches of snow a year — that’s plenty for going snowshoeing or sledding! And you’ll have a few rainy days here and there during the rest of the year.

How do I get around town?

Driving might offer the most convenient way to get around the area. But that depends on which part of Sioux Falls you end up living in. Sioux Area Metro (SAM) offers bus routes throughout the city during the week. On weekends, there’s a crosstown bus service downtown with limited stops and SAM On Demand service. Planning to use public transportation? You’ll want to look for rental homes in Sioux Falls that are on bus routes — or close to them. Leaving the city? Sioux Falls Regional Airport in the northern part of town offers several flights a day. Greyhound, located close to the airport, also has bus service to other towns and cities.

What is the Sioux Falls commute like?

How long will it take you to get to and from your job? On average, it takes about 21 minutes to commute. But that’s going to ultimately depend on where you look for Sioux Falls homes for rent. The city does have a few major roadways to help speed up your drives to and from work! I-229 in the eastern part of town runs north to south. I-29 on the western side of the city runs north to south, too. And there’s I-90 in the northern part of town for an east to west route.

Why live in Sioux Falls, SD?

Being able to stretch your dollar further is easy as a Sioux Falls resident! Housing costs are lower here than in many other Midwest cities and towns. That gives you more options for Sioux Falls rental homes that fall within your budget. And the city has quite a few major employers in education, healthcare, finance, retail, and other industries. Falls Park and the Sioux Falls River make the city a beautiful place to live. The downtown area also gives you a bunch of amenities and attractions to enjoy — while still offering a welcoming small-town vibe overall!

What Sioux Falls landmarks should I see?

Did you know that you can see castings of Michelangelo sculptures right in Sioux Falls? Head to Fawick Park to see David and Augustana University campus to see Moses. Visit the USS South Dakota to see WWII’s most decorated battleship! Explore artifacts from around the globe in Pettigrew Home and Museum, a Queen Anne style house from the late 19th century. Stroll through Falls Park to see Sioux Fall’s namesake waterfalls — and make plans to attend Winter Wonderland and other events held here throughout the year! Go hiking in a National Historic Landmark that’s also a natural oasis in an urban setting. Good Earth State Park at Blood Run offers scenic overlooks, lots of wildlife — and much more!

What is there to do around Sioux Falls?

This Midwest city has some great options for outdoor fun and adventure or relaxation. Visit Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum and the Japanese Gardens to stroll along paths surrounded by vivid blooms. Head to Great Plains Zoo to see rhinos, lions, penguins, and other animals in this 45-acre park. Visit Great Bear Recreation Park for snowboarding, skiing — and many other winter activities. Head back there in summer to hike along the park’s 4-mile trail system. Sioux Falls has plenty of things to do indoors, too! The Butterfly House and Aquarium has hundreds of butterflies! Orpheum Theater Center offers theatrical performances, concerts, and other events!

Where is the best place to move in Sioux Falls?

Sioux Falls rentals come in all shapes and sizes — from condos and lofts to spacious townhomes. But which area should you focus your search? Look for rental homes in the downtown area if you want to be near lots of entertainment, restaurants, stores, and other amenities. The Hospital and University District — south of downtown — is filled with historic homes and close to several attractions. South Sioux Falls has great schools, newer housing developments, and several walking trails and parks to enjoy!
