Planned subdivisions and custom houses in gated communities

Neatly planned subdivisions have a network of 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.
