Growth in Southeast Sioux Falls comes with new highway
Southeast Sioux Falls is a section of the city experiencing residential and commercial growth. David Shelton, managing broker at Century 21 Advantage Realtor, says there's a connection between development and the construction of a new highway, the Veterans Parkway. "It's a big, big deal. Shopping, medical, a lot of new construction and a lot of rental housing are being developed. Southeast Sioux Falls has quite a few undeveloped acres that, within 10 years, will be filled in." Highly regarded schools and access to outdoor recreational spaces are other highlights of the area.
