Large, wooded lots in a top-rated school district
On the far eastern edge of Sioux Falls's city limits, the community of Pine Lakes Addition differs from its neighbors in both average lot size and scenery. The neighborhoods' homes which date back to the 1970s and '80s sit on half-acre lots shaded by mature pine trees. "South Dakota can be very flat, but this area has some rolling hills," says State Representative David Kull. "It's a beautiful neighborhood." A resident since 2021, Realtor Julie Bruflat says that the biggest adjustment to moving to Pine Lakes Addition was getting used to living further out from the city. "There's a mix of different styles of homes, and they're so well-built," she says. "Our view, off our back deck, is beautiful because it's on the east side, so we can see all the pines going towards Brandon." Pine Lakes Addition also attracts buyers because of their zip code zoning them to the Brandon Valley School District, the top-rated district in Sioux Falls according to educational review site, Niche.
Pine Lakes Addition is a lush neighborhood on the furthest West reaches of Sioux Falls.
Many homes in Pine Lakes Addition have single story entrances with two levels on the back side.

Architecturally diverse homes on half-acre lots
"Pine Lakes Addition was built from the mid-'70s to the mid-'80s, and homes are in the $400,000 to $700,000 range," Hahn says. Sioux Falls buyers are primarily attracted by the ample space the community provides, versus what's offered in the city. The neighborhood is architecturally diverse, and the homes share a cabin-like, woodsy aesthetic. Ranch-style and split-level homes are common here, and some incorporate elements of midcentury modernism, like wood paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows. Others are inspired by the Tudor movement and don steeply pitched roofs, exposed timber accents and ivy plantings that crawl up exterior walls. The neighborhood is primarily comprised of single-family homes, aside from a concentration of Twin-style homes on North Pine Lake. "We live in a twin home, and I never wanted to live in one, but these have larger lots with bigger backyards than your typical twin home," Bruflat says. "That was a huge draw for me. That I wasn't sitting next to my neighbor's patio with just the separation of a little plastic fence. Everyone has the same faux wrought iron fence, so we can see through all the way down. It makes it open and more spacious looking." Bruflat goes on to explain that she lives in a newer part of the neighborhood with younger trees. "It would be nice to have more established trees, but there are negatives that come with that, like trimming and tree service. If you live in the center of town and have electrical wires hanging, that's not a super positive thing. I don't see any negatives being where we are. As far as water, cable, stuff like that, we're pretty high elevation compared to the rest of the city."
