Colonial Pine Hills is known for its privacy and natural beauty
Colonial Pine Hills is set in the Black Hills on the outskirts of Rapid City. Enveloped with trees and green spaces that are harder to come by in other parts of the city, this community is known for its privacy and natural beauty. The difficulty of building homes on the densely wooded and rocky terrain creates exclusivity. As a result, upscale homes and a higher cost of living are typical to the area – part of what many refer to as the “acorn tax.” “Houses in the southwest generally have more of a premium,” says Mayor Jason Salamun, a lifelong Rapid City resident. Colonial Pine Hills has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. This lower crime rate is part of what attracts many retirees and established families to the area.

Homes have larger lots than other parts of Rapid City
Homes in Colonial Pine Hills are typically on lots that are half an acre or more, spacing them out more than neighborhoods further east. A median construction year of 1995 means that homes are also typically newer than others in the city. The average square footage is over 3,000, which is roughly 1,000 square feet higher than the national average. Split-level and ranch-style homes are typical of the area, generally selling between the $390,000s and $540,000s. Larger New Traditional homes are also popular, with prices falling in the $500,000 to $1.4 million range. Mayor Salamun says new construction is on the horizon. “Most of our growth is out east and north, but you’re seeing some southwest, too,” he says. “They’re really trying to build up that area on the way to Mount Rushmore.”

Built in 1969, the church attracts parishioners and tourists alike. Families are fond of local parks like Community Park and Red Rocks Park, both of which feature playground equipment, picnic tables and plenty of green spaces.
