A big picture view of Downtown Sioux Falls
This downtown pocket of Sioux Falls reflects the city's spirit: community-oriented and flowing with creativity. The preservation of its historic architecture maintains the neighborhood's charm — factories turned into apartments, new businesses in old buildings, streets filled with bricks and brownstones. At the center is Falls Park, with the Big Sioux River spilling over pink quartzite just a short stroll from restaurants, galleries and cafes.
Downtown Sioux Falls is located next to the Big Sioux River.
The neighborhood's overall vibe, amenities and draw
Amanda Buell, a Realtor who specializes in central Sioux Falls with Hegg Realtors, describes the neighborhood's vibe: "It's the closest to an urban lifestyle you can get in Sioux Falls." She adds that over the last decade the neighborhood has transformed, offering locals the chance to live, work and play all in one vibrant area, drawing an eclectic mix of people. "There is real appeal for empty nesters who may have second homes elsewhere and are looking for a lock-and-leave lifestyle and love city access. The second would be young professionals who like walkability and urban living, being able to go to bars, restaurants and nightclubs. And lastly more families are choosing downtown."
Some of downtown's businesses and trendy hangout spots:
Great Outdoor Store for hiking apparel, Matchbox Candle Store Co. for artisan candles and MK Threads Boutique for women’s clothing
Sunshine Foods and Pomegranate Market for groceries
Lucky’s, Pave, Hello-Hi and Club David for nightlife
The Steel District, a newer hotspot known for its restaurant scene
After dinner, catch a live show at the Washington Pavilion, a movie at the Sioux Falls State Theatre or an orchestral performance at the Orpheum Theater Center. During the day Buell says many people work at local law, architecture, marketing and advertising firms.

Family-friendly activities
Families have plenty to do, including visiting riverside parks. Jacobson Plaza is a newer addition with a large playground, year-round ice-skating rink and dog park. The Museum of Visual Materials, rebranded as Mosaic Arts and Events, runs affordable art classes for kids and programs for adults with disabilities. "Our mission is to keep prices low so kids can afford to take the classes," says Executive Director Deanna Parker.

A closer look at downtown’s parks and events
The Big Sioux River is popular with kayakers and surrounded by parks. Fawick Park features a replica of Michelangelo’s David statue, plus riverside seating and entry to the 45-mile Sioux Falls Recreation Trail. Falls Park surrounds the city's waterfalls and covers nearly 130 acres with picnic pavilions and viewing decks to take in the area. On Saturdays from May to October, it hosts the Falls Park Farmers Market, a longstanding tradition. During the summer, Levitt at the Falls — located at Falls Park — hosts about 50 free concerts a year. Another way to celebrate along the river is Riverfest, held in the fall.
Downtown's main drag, Phillips Avenue, is also a center for events. Parade of Lights kicks off the holidays. "And there's something called First Fridays downtown — every Friday in the summer streets are closed off for live music, art and food. Businesses have extended hours and specialty deals," Buell says.
Fawick Park is located next to the Big Sioux River.

Cost of living and types of housing in downtown Sioux Falls
Buyers can choose from early to mid-20th century bungalows and low-rise condos in the downtown area. Prices generally range from the low $100,000s to the high $300,000s, but newer luxury condos sell for over $1 million. "Newer condos tend to have all the amenities the urban buyer is looking for: fitness centers, underground parking, secured entry," Buell says. Older buildings offer charm like hardwood floors and high ceilings, but frequently lack dedicated parking and require more upkeep. Buell says the cost of living is similar to the rest of the city, though properties tend to be higher per square foot. "The handful of premier luxury condo buildings in Sioux Falls are almost all downtown."

Traffic flow in and out of downtown
Sioux Falls doesn't get the same heavy traffic as bigger cities. "Phillips Avenue is our main street, and that can get a little busy, but honestly I've never seen stop-and-go traffic in the downtown area," Buell says. The area is pedestrian-friendly and has bike lanes. "I have a car but it doesn't get many miles on it anymore," says resident Joe Kirby, who has a personal blog devoted to the city. Sioux Area Metro runs bus routes throughout downtown for public transportation. The neighborhood is close to essential amenities, with Sanford USD Medical Center less than 2 miles away and Sioux Falls Regional Airport about 3 miles away.
