Who lives in the neighborhood
Nurses setting down roots, investors seeking a flip and college students who are renting are drawn to Pettigrew Heights. "A lot of different ages live there," says David Shelton, the managing broker of Century 21 Advantage, who's been in the industry since 1989. "Many of the homes are rentals. And the city chose Pettigrew Heights to add some low-income housing. So it's on the more affordable end of things."
Pros and Cons of Pettigrew Heights
Some of the advantages of living here include the neighborhood's central location, walkability to shops and restaurants, and attractive home prices. Cons include the ongoing upkeep often required for older properties. Very few homes have garages, so curbside and alleyway parking are the norm.
Community life and local vibe
Community spirit and fresh energy infuse everyday life in Pettigrew Heights. Emerson Park is a gathering spot. It offers a gazebo, a basketball court and a play structure for children.
One of the newest breakfast spots is Perch restaurant on Grange Avenue and Ninth Street. Shelton says it used to be a local neighborhood grocery store. The building itself was built in the early 1900s. "They just refinished it to have the restaurant on the main floor with law offices above." He adds that there's a large community garden near the restaurant where residents swap gardening tips and grow their own food.
Emerson Park is located to the west of downtown Sioux Falls.
Children enjoy spending time outdoors at Emerson Park.

Home styles and housing options
The neighborhood's historic architecture includes American Foursquares, bungalows and boxy cottages with welcoming porches and short front stoops. You'll also see the occasional Queen Anne. Some of the oldest homes in the area date back to the late 1800s. A few are registered historic properties, but the neighborhood itself hasn't been designated as a historic district. Most are single-family, though some have been converted into multi-tenant units. Currently, more renters than owners live here, and the area has a fair share of apartment complexes. "Right on 11th Street, they tore a whole block down and built affordable housing — giant multifamily apartments," says local Realtor Andy Kontz of eXp Realty, who has over 16 years of industry experience.
Residents of Pettigrew Heights take pride in their homes.
Several multifamily homes are found throughout the neighborhood.
