Where to make your new home is an important decision. From multifamily residential units to town houses, starter homes to grand estates, emerging developments to well-established neighborhoods, Sioux Falls offers its residents a wide variety of styles and locations. Favorable financing conditions, reputable and experienced builders, and a wealth of knowledgeable real estate agents foster an ideal environment for first-time and repeat home buyers. Meanwhile, developers and city planners ensure that the city's growth is well planned, including the construction of roads, sewers and other infrastructure elements vital to safe, comfortable and convenient residential life. Like many cities, Sioux Falls developed from its center outward. The area is unique, historic and home to longtime residents. The Cathedral neighborhood-the city's Historic District-consists of turn-of-the-century homes, including the Pettigrew Home and Museum. A hilly, cobblestone street in the north 500 block of Sixth Street remind residents and visitors of the city's history and offers a magnificent view of downtown Sioux Falls, located just a few blocks to the east. The average listing price for homes here is $135,000. The McKennan neighborhood features well-kept, high-quality, older homes along tree-lined boulevards. Because of its location just south of downtown and its proximity to major thoroughfares, McKennan offers a blend of character and convenience for those who desire a centralized residential location. The area surrounds McKennan Park and features several schools and a health care facility. Park Ridge/Sioux Valley, located a little further west, features some of the city's most diverse housing options-from small bungalows to large split-levels. Located near several area universities and colleges, Park Ridge/Sioux Valley draws younger residents who appreciate its proximity to downtown culture and entertainment, as well as growing families who enjoy the easy access to outdoor recreation, the zoo, and education and health care facilities. When Washington High School outgrew its downtown location (now the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science), it moved to a new facility in northeast Sioux Falls, just east of I-229. This relocation set in motion a flurry of activity as homes, churches and businesses began to fill in the area. One residential development, Richmond Estates, is composed of several neighborhoods, with homes ranging from $114,000 to $300,000. Also on the Washington campus are Anne Sullivan Elementary School and the Kenny Anderson Community Center-a trend of many Sioux Falls schools, where centers are being established for students and families to gather after school, in the evenings and on weekends. Northwest Sioux Falls is alive with new construction. Residents have easy access to area developments via I-29 and are only minutes away from the airport, Sioux Falls Arena and Convention Center, and the Sioux Falls Stadium. The growing programs at Southeast Technical Institute and the relocation of Lodgenet, one of Sioux Falls' larger employers, to this area are just part of the reason for the surge of new developments. Prices in northwest Sioux Falls range from $99,000 to $140,000. Southeast - As Southeastern Avenue, East 26th and 57th streets and other roadways have become increasingly busy with traffic carrying motorists through town, various housing developments have developed along the way. Bradfelt Park Estates is one such neighborhood, where homes range from $135,000 to $400,000. A more exclusive neighborhood is Prairie Tree, located along one of the city's newest golf courses. Prairie Tree showcases large, executive homes ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000 and up (mean is $350,000). Neighborhoods throughout southeast Sioux Falls provide easy access to malls, schools, fitness centers, parks and the interstate system. More importantly, they maintain a friendly neighborhood environment. Southwest Roosevelt High School, one of the city's newest secondary education facilities, provides a solid foundation for the neighborhoods that have formed in southwest Sioux Falls. Roosevelt Valley is a compilation of diverse neighborhoods, where homes range in price from $150,000 to $400,000. A few blocks north is Kingswood/Silver Valley, where professional couples and growing families enjoy more contemporary homes and quiet neighborhoods from which they make quick commutes to other parts of the city. Homes here range from $125,000 to $300,000. The completion of the 26th Street interchange off I-29 offers easy access to shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities.
