The community experience and a bit about demographics
Most Garfield residents own their homes rather than rent, and the median age is 38. “As a whole, people are fairly friendly and will say hello. And most people know their neighbors,” Bauchman says. “That is kind of a general characteristic of Sioux Falls.” The neighborhood is compact, with sidewalks throughout, so walking to Sherman Park is easy.
Other community features of the neighborhood:
Several houses of worship anchor here, supporting different faiths.
Kids in Garfield also have the benefit of a local school right in the heart of the community.

Garfield’s bordering greenspace
Everyone who lives here is less than a mile’s walk away from Sherman Park, known for its athletic fields, accessible playground and for housing the Great Plains Zoo. The park also has a wedding venue. From Sherman Park, residents can access the paved Sioux Falls Recreation Trail, which spans 36 miles and loops around the city. Emerson Park is also within walking distance, but a much smaller greenspace. Local golfers also have easy access to Minnehaha Country Club and The Country Club of Sioux Falls.

Housing types and market trends
Bungalow, craftsman, ranch-style homes, minimal traditional cottages and minimal traditional two-story properties are common in Garfield. Various shades of vinyl siding give each home a unique look, so the neighborhood doesn’t feel uniform. Most houses are priced between the low $100,000s and the high $300,000s. However, they are properties that fetch upward of over a million. Bauchman notes that many of the more expensive homes are south of 18th Street near Sherman Park, the Minnehaha Country Club and the Country Club of Sioux Falls. “Some of the higher end transactions happen off the MLS due to demand of that neighborhood,” Bauchman adds.
Proximity to the hospital has led to strong appreciation rates. The median sales price for Garfield’s homes has risen by 32% in a year, and homes tend to sell within 24 days, compared to the national average of 53 days.
