Northwest Sioux City has rolling hills and access to public parks
Tucked against the South Dakota border, Northwest Sioux City is best known for its rugged, rural surroundings. Made up largely of rolling Loess Hills, housing sites are limited to a few level areas. "So much of it is basically untouched because it's not flat enough to be developed," says Kathryn Pfaffle, a Realtor with Realty One Group Regency. "It's very scenic." Homeowners value the area for its access to public parks, privacy and quiet. Its CAP Index Score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Few homes exist in Northwest Sioux City due to the challenges of developing properties in the hills.
Homes in Northwest Sioux City often sit on large lots with plenty of acreage near the South Dakota border.
