Tucked into the confluence of the Big Sioux and Missouri rivers, Dakota Dunes offers upscale housing surrounded by convenient shopping, entertainment and highly ranked schools. "The community was a result of Gateway Computers being headquartered in North Sioux," says Kathryn Pfaffle, a Realtor for Haus of Home. Though Gateway shut down in 2007, the community remains and has some of the newest developments in the Sioux City Metro area, attracting young professionals and golf-playing retirees alike.
Dakota Dunes offers excellent golfing amenities for both younger residents and retirees.
Dakota Dunes is one of the newest and most vibrant developments in the Sioux City area.

Modern designs and luxury estates
Residential areas follow the neatly spaced and manicured look of a planned community. Though largely built in the 21st century, homes have classic designs, the most common of which are custom-built midcentury styles and neo-traditional two-stories. The cul-de-sac-heavy streets curl around the landscape, forming loops lined with young trees and the occasional sidewalk. Split-levels and ranch-style homes start in the mid-$300,000s and peak in the mid-$500,000s. Two-story homes with elements of modern or Tudor influence range from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$900,000s. Luxurious estates with expansive lawns and riverside views fall between $1 and $6 million.
