Moving to South Dakota? Here’s What to Expect

Hello friends considering a move to our beautiful state!
Julie Roth here, and I am so excited for you to discover all that South Dakota has to offer, especially in the vibrant city of Sioux Falls. As your local realtor, I want to give you a genuine look at what you can expect when you move here.

First and foremost, the quality of life is fantastic. The cost of living in Sioux Falls is lower than the national average, particularly for housing. We also have a very strong job market, with a low unemployment rate of just 1.9% in July 2025 and job growth in key sectors like construction and hospitality. A huge bonus for all residents is that South Dakota has no state income tax!

Sioux Falls offers the perfect balance of a small city feel with big city amenities. The downtown area is clean and lively, with a great mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The community is welcoming and friendly, and it's a wonderful place to raise a family. One of the best parts of living here is the incredible parks and recreation, including an almost 30-mile bike path that is one of the best you will find anywhere.

Yes, the winters can be cold, but our city is great at keeping the roads clear and the community active with events all year round. The weather just adds to the charm! The average commute time is short, so you spend less time in traffic and more time enjoying your new home and community.
