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.

Some newly constructed developments offer a mix of housing types
Some of the newest subdivisions have a mix of single-family homes, twin homes and townhomes. Among the communities offering this variety are several from builder Empire Homes. "We focus on creating not just houses, but neighborhoods that feel comfortable, connected, and easy to live in, with thoughtfully designed streets, green spaces, and nearby schools, parks and shopping," says Mark Buche, the marketing manager at Empire Co. Speaking of the 41 Six development, he says, "There are move-in-ready homes available as well as options where you can select your own finishes."

Many outdoor sites for athletics, recreation and nature exploration
On the northwest, along the Big Sioux River, is a series of adjacent community parks. Most have multiuse trail access and athletics amenities. Spencer Park has an off-leash dog park, a disc golf course, a cross-country skiing trail and river access for canoes and kayaks. "Yankton Trail Park is also in Southeast Sioux Falls. That's where we'll have a lot of soccer games. Soccer tournaments are a big deal in South Dakota. We see 1,000s of people with their kids at Yankton Trail Park for soccer," Shelton says. A couple of miles south of Spencer Park is Prairie Green Golf Course, a municipal facility open to the public. Another facility, Willow Run Golf Course, is located toward the northeast. It offers reservable tee times or memberships. Also in the area, the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum and East Sioux Falls Historic Site has gardens, a ski trail and educational programming.
