Southwest Sioux Falls is a suburb with golf courses and craft dining
Known for its ancient cascading waterfalls and a vibrant craft dining scene on the riverbanks, Sioux Falls is a city growing toward the southwest, with impressive homes on large, well-maintained lawns. Within reach of golf courses, nature trails and numerous restaurants, Southwest Sioux Falls is a suburban neighborhood that offers an active lifestyle amidst quiet, midwestern streets. "It's the Midwest. People are friendly. They always help each other out and are kind to one another. It is very safe. Kids can walk to school and the park," says Sarah Ekholm, longtime resident and Realtor with Ekholm Team Real Estate. Ekholm says Southwest Sioux Falls is also in a convenient location. "It is close to amenities, great shopping malls and stores. We have great parks, and many of the school districts are highly rated, which brings a lot of people to the area."
Planned subdivisions and custom houses in gated communities
Neatly planned subdivisions have a network of interwoven streets lined by lush lawns and well-connected sidewalks. The neighborhood features a variety of architectural styles, including New Traditional and ranch-style homes, with prices ranging from $210,000 to $1.6 million. Homes at the top of the price range may reach 5,800 square feet and typically have spacious custom-built designs in gated communities like the Estates on Yankton Trail. Townhouses are anywhere from $220,000 to $790,000. "We're growing out. People can build and buy homes on the outskirts and still have the advantage of the city in a quieter area," Ekholm says.
Sioux Falls can experience winter storms and blizzards with single-digit temperatures and an average annual snowfall accumulation of around 45 inches. This region is located in the northern part of Tornado Alley, where tornadoes can form due to wind currents from the Gulf Coast mixing with air from the Rocky Mountains.

Platinum Valley Park has a walking trail, picnic shelters and a playground. Sertoma Park features family-friendly facilities, including a butterfly house and an aquarium with coral reefs and stingrays. Yankton Trail Park features multiple soccer fields and offers access to the Greenway Recreation Main Trail Loop, a 19-mile paved trail that connects to numerous parks along the Big Sioux River.
