Four Stars for Now - It Could Go Either Way - 2/7/2023

I've lived in Sioux Falls for 2 years. I've found it to be a good place to live. The city is not too big, and has an thriving economy. Traffic is not bad, but as the city grows they'll need to work to maintain that - which the city seems cognizant of, as they are working on the roads; widening and working to improve intersections. The roads across the state are generally pretty good considering the harsh winters. The cost of living is agreeable too, although that's on the rise. Home prices need to come down because currently (early 2023) the prices don't match well with the incomes of residents. The area is growing economically and in population. It remains to be seen if that growth is positive. Many of the new comers are foreigners - from another country. Mid-westerners are not the most cosmopolitan bunch (which is fine), so both they and the immigrants will need to make strides to adapt to the situation. The biggest problem, outside of the rising cost of living, is the rise in crime. These two issues make the area a lot less attractive to live; especially considering the remoteness of the area and the weather. On the topic of weather, I don't mind the winters. For the northern United States, they're not the worst. The wind is the most challenging to deal with. In all seasons, the wind - to me - makes the biggest difference. In the both the cold and warm months, the wind can make things far less pleasant to be outside. The winds are the strongest around the change of seasons (fall and spring). During these times one worries about storms, hail, and tornadoes. The summers get hotter than one would think for this far north. In less humid years a day in the 90's isn't bad. In humid years, summers can be far less comfortable. As far as crime goes, from what I can tell it's on the rise. Much of it appears to be from people who come from outside of the city. SF is at the crossroads of two major interstates. The city will need to increase efforts to identify the sources/causes of the increase in crime and efforts to reduce it. I hear that the schools are just okay. I suspect that private and parochial schools are better than the public schools; and those are much more viable options in a state with low taxes and a relatively low cost of living (again, if housing prices don't re-align with wages this option become less available and the educational outlook dims IMO). In short, I think the area has a lot going for it. It also faces some significant challenges as it grows. If the city strikes a good balance between the interests of the incoming and existing business interests, existing population - which has made the city a good place to live, and incoming population, then the future is bright. If they focus on growth at the expense of what makes the area nice then it will not be a good place to live anymore.

Sioux Falls - not so bad after all - 5/29/2022

Sioux Falls isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I’ve lived here for 2 years and my experience has been pleasant. Sioux Falls is a decent sized city, not too big or too small. People have commented about winter being harsh, which may be true to some, but it’s South Dakota, what are you expecting? My only dislike about living here is that it’s so flat, so there’s nowhere to hike. There’s walking trails, but not hiking trails like I’m used to. All of the beauty/scenery is in the western side of the state which takes 5 hours to get to.

Crime is on the rise - 6/21/2021

Lived on both sides of the city (it's split up by east side and west side by the locals and they're kinda in competition with each other). I've been here for 3 years and split my time between both sides. West side : Had my window shot out in my driveway/gang sign sprayed on my house on 41st street. Step-brother had his back window smashed, attempted carjacking, and his belongings scattered in the adjacent field. BLM riots happened on this side as well, with numerous store thefts and burglaries after busting windows over the course of two nights. Police were shot at with stolen guns and ammo. East side : The corner gas station had a drive-by shooting due to an admitted gang initiation and a guy pumping his gas got shot in the shoulder. Meth house on the corner in my neighborhood was shot up and a Cadillac Escalade was completely destroyed up by gunfire. Other meth house on opposite corner was suicide/homicide. There is a violent homicide or suicide every week in this city. 10 years ago the city was a decent place to live. Now I can't say the same. This area is so nicey-nice that people are offended at literally everything. And since they're so nicey-nice, the callous MN/ND liberals have moved in and started taking charge of our downtown. It is no longer safe for families and has become a wheel of sodomy and violence. Speaking of downtown, we have 7 breweries but none of them are worth a damn. We live 3 minutes from downtown but neither my wife or I go there often because parking is awful and the food and beer usually isn't very good. We (they) drive like a small town. Expect 5-10 mph under, everywhere, no matter what. Then if you jump on the interstate they'll ride you like a horse. It's almost as if they have some superiority complex, but as soon as they shoot off the ramp into traffic, they're back to poking around at 12 mph because they lack confidence and proper driving skills when other people are around. Minnesotans are also the worst at driving and they complicate the whole city on the weekends with their GMC Envoys packed with kids and distractions. Expect veering and cuddling/crossing the middle lane several times a minute. People around here seem to hate Kristi Noem despite her efforts to keep these businesses alive during COVID-19. These particular people actually want to be taken by the hand and led like children by the government and told exactly what to do and when, but Kristi believes people should be able to make up their own minds, as they are adults (or they should be). This is the difference between they boys and the men. There are a lot of boys in this city. Sioux Falls as a community has obvious problems but are unwilling to address them. The mindset is unbelievably small. I have never seen so much stupidity masquerading as confidence, willfulness in ignorance, and fact-less arguing. They support homeless people (who are not homeless) on the medians. Will not hear otherwise. Our tornado sirens do not work. The city is made up of tender, sensitive, internally sunburned, overly offended social justice warriors who in turn are some of the rudest, most inconsiderate, evil people you will ever meet. The political tension in this city is real.

Is your glass half empty or half full? - 3/23/2021

I have lived in Sioux Falls on and off since moving here as a child in 1973. I have seen the population grow more then double since that time. The population is now 190,000+ people. I like the fact that the cost of living is much better here then most places I have lived in the US. The commute time to get to and from work is only minutes away. My wife is from Toronto, Canada and talk about commute times it could take you a hour just to get to work. All the traffic there would stress you out, here no stress. The crime rate is pretty low here. It does seem to lack lakes near by, but the Sioux River can be a blast. The schools are good and the people are friendly. Healthcare is top notch. Have to admit the winters here are hard. The summers are pleasant. I guess I seen some ratings of people bad mouthing Sioux Falls, I guess it depends on how you look at the glass. Some people look at the glass as half empty but others chose to look at it as half full.

Wouldn’t recommend it! - 12/21/2018

Lived here for 10+ years. I can’t wait to move out. This place is so boring. Nothing to do. The weather sucks. It’s usually always cold and the winters get pretty bad here. During the winters you’ll usually stay indoors. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to move here! The only good thing about this place is that the crime is low so it’s a safe place to live. that’s mainly it thou.

Moving here would be a Mistake - 4/2/2017

This is a review of Sioux Falls, SD from someone who moved here from Broomfield, Colorado. I have been living here for almost two years. Like most people I tried to researched places that may be a better place to live. I picked Sioux Falls. That was a Mistake. My review will be attacked by someone pretending to be a resident of the city. Ask yourself when you read it, what person spends its time perusing the review boards? So they can refute, attack someone who does a review they don’t like ? Who would do that ? Don’t they have life. It is important to note that states as well as cities spend money to market their state or city, trying to entice people to come there because it adds to their tax base. Some reviews passing themselves off as residents, are in fact, marketing, city state proxies paid by the very location to sell the location. People put more stock in an individual review from the locale than an outright advertisement from the state or city. This is very big for cities, states livelihood. They spend a lot of money promoting their city or state especially in these times. When I started meeting people after coming here and striking up conversations with them in various activities, soon they would look at me with bewilderment, shock and ask me; “Why the #$@!& would you come to Sioux Falls ?” South Dakota is the EIGHTH WORSE STATE IN WHICH TO MAKE A LIVING according to USA Today and Money Rates for 2015, In 2016 they rocketed up to ELEVENTH WORSE STATE IN WHICH TO MAKE A LIVING…..South Dakota didn’t improve with higher wages, its’ just that other states got worse. Even with no income tax, supposedly low unemployment, and safe work environment, it is horrible for making a living. There is a lot of Poverty in Sioux Falls and it is obvious. Much of the city has high poverty with nasty areas, and rundown buildings. The city also has terrible roads with crumbling sidewalks and weeds. The freeways are outstanding though. The low unemployment number advertised for South Dakota and Sioux Falls is a lie. People are leaving the state, city or they are not being counted. All of the states around South Dakota have a far better rating for making a living yet they have state income taxes and a lot of regulations adverse to businesses. Looking at job boards in states surrounding Sioux Falls, such as Craigslist, Indeed, and Keloland Employment. You will see a stark contrast in the number of openings and the wages they offer. There is something seriously “off” in South Dakota. There is a lot of homelessness, drug problems and a suicide problem in this city. It has one of the worse ratings in the country for crimes of all types. FBI has violent crime surging 45%(Assault), and property crimes not far behind. FBI’s Most dangerous places in South Dakota. The following is the list from the top ten most dangerous: 1. Chamberlain, 2. Rapid City, 3. Sioux Falls. The crime situation in Sioux Falls has violent crime going up by a massive 45% and property crime by 5%. This is a Liberal Left Democrat town in a Republican state. It has a propaganda arm called called the “Argus Leader”, a monopoly, tiny tabloid pretending to be a newspaper who is owned by Gannet. Gannet is the organization that believes in open borders, illegal immigration(socialism) who published the names, addresses of people who have Concealed Weapon Permits in New York. Gannet has a lot of controversy, deception, deceit in its media organization. The town also has a large college presence, for profit and public which explains the liberal bias. These colleges are much larger than necessary to service the population around the city and surrounding areas. There are quite a few businesses that have closed their doors in Sioux Falls. Some major, quite big. The city entices seniors to come here and that has resulted in a large medical industry around the area servicing them. . In talking to seniors, many comment they wished they had rented for a year or so before buying. Be careful of people when they are driving around. The city also has a lot of refugees and they are in the very poor neighborhoods. There is also a VA hospital. What this means is that Sioux Falls is Heavily dependent on Federal and outside monies to exist. Welfare, Food Stamps, student loans, medicaid, medicare, Social Security and outside money for their colleges. The very existence of the City depends on this. If those monies in part or all dried up, the city would collapse because it has virtually no other industry. I have been told repeatedly there is a “good old boy” club that keeps business, manufacturing, high paying industries out of this city. The same people mentioned that their classmates have almost all left South Dakota and live in Minnesota or Colorado because they can’t find a good job in Sioux Falls, or South Dakota. That “good old boy club” is undoubtedly the Agriculture, farming community. They have a lot of power. They make sure companies don’t come in and raise the wages, which they see as raising their costs. I have been told they will force businesses out if their wages are out of line. This is the skilled, semi-skilled workers manufacturing would want and that is why the vast majority of openings, jobs in Sioux Falls are in the $12/hr to $16/hr range. There are a lot of jobs below this wage scale too, and very, very few above the $16/hr range. Seeing $20/hr and above in Sioux Falls is very, very rare. This excludes the medical industry who don’t advertise much, and the next biggest employer, the trucking industry. While most residents of the city struggle to find a good full time job, the city is running large deficits, yet when looking at the salaries on the city government site, you’ll see librarians making 85k, 100k, and 115k per year! That is almost 4 times the medium wage of $30,700/yr of average South Dakotan's. MoneyRates.com, also wonders why low unemployment is not translating into higher wages. Low labor supply and high demand ought to translate into higher wages, right? Apparently something is broken in the feedback loop: in South Dakota, lower wages appear to be creating low labor supply. The cost of living for Sioux Falls is at 101.3/102.5, for the neighborhood Sioux Falls is in, but fairly average compared to the rest of the U.S. Weather is Terrible most of the year. Very cold, snow, rain, wind, and humidity in the summer. The area will not get to 70 F degrees until the end of May ! Even then, it will rain, blow, wind, and even then temperatures will sink every couple of days. It is bad all the time and rarely clears or is warm. Plan on being inside ~ 8 months out of the year. This is not good for health or fitness. Sioux Falls ranks 50th(out of 100) in list of Best and Worse cities for Men who want to be fit and happy according to Men's Health Magazine. Weather is key here. No sun, patsy complexion, atrophy, obesity and poor moods are all apparent here. Compounding that, it is also hard to make a living. However, there is a lot less dirt, dust in the air here than in Colorado. A major concern is Water Quality in Sioux Falls. It is some of the worse in the nation. Like all cities they are required to make their water quality numbers available to the public. The EPA audited their water quality some time ago, and their reported numbers were even worse. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) from my calibrated meter is 388-398 ppm. 500 ppm is Maximum EPA allowable. That doesn’t count all the chemicals in the water! I use an RO. Attributed to the “Good Old Boy Club”, farmers is the decimation of Wildlife on the East side of South Dakota. All farmers use pesticides, they think more is better, but they go a lot further from what I have been told. They kill all the wildlife. There is no prairie dogs, raccoons, coyotes, and hardly ever will you see birds or anything else. It was immediately obvious to me when I came here from Broomfield, Colorado, a city that I would drive around during the day and see wildlife everywhere. Internet and Cable is a monopoly. Midco Communications has it. Internet costs me almost as much as my gas and electric bill combined for probably half the year. The city is pretty compact, so getting somewhere is really quick. Only a few miles to get to the store, or where ever. However, that means your vehicle will hardly ever get warmed up, which is not good for your vehicle. The city has a Costco, which is great.

The beatings will continue until morale improves! - 1/24/2017

I was originally going to write a more traditional review for Sioux Falls but given how most people tend to write the same thing, I thought I'd try explaining what I think of Sioux Falls in a different format. I'm going to describe Sioux Falls by using the same joke that General Motors used to respond to a criticism from Microsoft back in the 90s (you might have seen this joke online, it's quite common). Yes, I'm going to describe Sioux Falls as what it would be like if it was a car company, like Toyota or Ford. I'll call it FallsCar for reference. "If Sioux Falls was a car company... The FallsCar would be a compact car but weigh 4000 lbs and has a V6 engine rated at 75 HP. It has the same length and weight as a K-Car but the ground clearance of a Ferrari (without the performance). (Please note that all specifications on the FallsCar are in SAE so don't expect metric, we at FallsCar see it as unnecessary to use metric.) Top speed of the FallsCar is 50 mph on the highway; pushing it downhill or off a cliff gives you a top speed of 65mph. Acceleration is 0-60 in about a couple of minutes (not factoring in wind speed, road conditions or how well your individual vehicle was put together) Gas mileage is 10 mpg...on the highway. And you'd better use 92 octane or better since that engine is a 'premium' engine. The driver sits in the rear seat so the steering wheel goes under and through the seat in front of the driver (hopefully your passenger doesn't care about a steering column right under their butt) and the horn is a button you push on the floor with your foot (and sounds like a cat caught in a dryer). The doors are keyless and open with a code which is a ten digit number that you get from the dealership and is reset if you change the battery, the car dies, you change the light bulbs/windshield wipers/brake pads/etc. The trunk opens from a button under the hood and the hood is opened by either the button on the 'dashboard' on the seat next to you or by means of using a metal prybar to pry it open at the right spot (otherwise you tear the bracket and void your warranty). A heater is not standard on the FallsCar so that must be a custom option. Three colors are available: green, brown or beige. This car requires blinker fluid which can also be obtained at the dealership. To start the car, place the key shaped like a pheasant into the slot on the 'dashboard' on the console to your right, place one foot on the brake pedal, the other on the horn button on the floor, and place your finger inside the cigarette lighter/fingerprint scanner on the dashboard. Instead of circular tires and wheel, the FallsCar uses octagon shaped wheels and tires. Oil and transmission fluid is a weird mix and is only available at the dealership. The engine and transmission need to be replaced every 40,000 miles and are basically designed by monkeys (why would you stick a moving shaft grinding right against the wall of the transmission case?). The car goes into "Dakota" mode where the AC turns on and off at random, the lights turn off in a tunnel and turn on in a field (or when the car is underwater), and the doors lock and unlock at random as well every 25,000 miles. This means you need a dealership tuneup. The warranty is 2 years / 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. You cannot get warranty paperwork filled out at the dealership, you must first call the customer hotline (outsourced to Canada or Costa Rica) and obtain authorization and a completed slip in the mail. Then you may make an appointment at the dealership (hours are usually 8am - 5pm Monday thru Friday, Saturday 8am - 12pm depending on the mood of the employees) When you do get your authorization slip and come to your appointment it usually takes about an hour to fix anything so they have a waiting room for you. The television plays only FallsCar TV (Fox News is too liberal and not totalitarian or cult-like enough) and the magazines available are whatever crappy tabloids they could find at Walmart. You must have your drivers license, passport, and/or bill of sale ready for presentation every time you get service on a FallsCar. The price of a FallsCar is $30,000 before any rebates (the more money we get from Big.Gov, the better) or you can lease the FallsCar for $500/month for a minimum of 36 months (mileage is extra). Be careful of that lease, LOL. And the trade in value is a joke! FallsCar's website is a jumbled mess but only has 4 and 5 star reviews. Google and other reviews also are 4 and 5 star reviews despite the car being a joke. 'Seriously, how dare you disparage the FallsCar? This is the highest quality vehicle made in America. Social media and other people consider it a great car, look at the 4 and 5 star reviews online. You have an entitlement mentality and need help.' This is the response customer care gives you if you have an issue with the car or the company." In all seriousness this place is a frustrating place to live. It's bad here, I don't even really know where to start. I was going to say it's redneck bad but I think the average redneck's head would spin around like the Exorcist if they had to live here. It used to be okay but started to turn to garbage in the late 90s and really went downhill in the mid 2000s. If you've ever bought a product that either has parts that don't fit together or was designed by idiots or dies after the 1 year warranty ends, that's a good description of this town. Is there some stuff that's good here? A little, but not enough to counter the rest of the crap. And please, don't move here without doing your homework.

Nice town to live... - 6/27/2015

I moved here 9 1/2 years ago from Minneapolis. It's a nice town. Yes, it took me awhile to acclimate to a different environment. It is a little big city that is somewhat behind (in sophistication) compared to larger cities. (that can be a good thing at times) Sioux Falls is striving to become known as a up and coming city with much to offer. It has a nice historic downtown, that is constantly improving with new condos, river walking/biking path, restaurants etc. The cost of living is cheaper for housing, compared to Mpls. I don't see much of a difference in food, gas prices etc. The marked difference I have come to appreciate, is the genuine warmth of people here. I was surprised to read comments that said the opposite. Salt of the earth people here, for the most part. If you are not familiar with SD, don't assume it has very few trees, old historic homes etc. It's a classic Midwestern town in that sense too. When I drive through Sioux Falls older neighborhoods, I would think I was back in Minnesota. Impressive Healthcare system here. Sanford and Avera campus's/Specialty clinics. P.S. IF you yearn for lakes, this is NOT your place. (Unless you don't mind driving a few hours in either direction. I MISS water and Sioux Falls is basically "landlocked".

Stay away from Eastern Sioux Falls - 5/1/2014

I have lived on both the west and east sides of Sioux Falls, and while I have had no problems living on the west side, the east side of Sioux Falls is the worst. Parked outside my home, every two months my car was hit by a drunk driver who remains anonymous. I have had to pay for a new bumper, and then a new car altogether. The city doesn't ever help when you report a hit and run, either. Filing a police report doesn't do any good in this case. I have never had any luck with the police finding any criminals for any crimes reported. (I had my car broken into while I was at work and had some personal items stolen about a year ago, and the police just told me not to park where my managers made me. They made it out to be my fault that the window was smashed and the thief rummaged through my car and trashed it.) If you want to live here, the west side is better. Just make sure you work and live on the west side and ignore the east side.

what is sioux falls,sd like? - 11/22/2013

If anyone who lives in Sioux falls,sd could answer these questions, that would be great! :) My husband and I would like to move to Sioux Falls,sd in 2014 with our two kids and wanted to know if it's a family orientated city? I know it's starting to go fast, but does it seem crowded? We like to stay away from places with a lot of college students and definitely night life scenery. Just curious to know how it is in general. Thanks!

Sioux Falls Is Economically Diverse and Is a Great - 6/8/2012

Sioux Falls Is a wonderful place to live. I have lived here my entire life and the city really is something new every year. I have seen corn fields become bustling communities. The people are friendly and education is the best for the money. With Ellsworth AFB, it is a relatively safe place to live. We have a nice airport. Shopping is easy, with a large mall. Traffic is mild. If someone has a vision of a perfect life, this city is one to be able to unfold it. Real estate is cheaper than the national average and is constantly expanding. Jobs, large and small, are booming. Unemployment is half of the national average. The city is very active! Sioux Falls is beautiful with trees in every direction. It seems every year this city just keeps getting better. Sort of like an upgrade. And also it is proud to be racially diverse, and also religiously diverse. The political climate is mostly conservative, but there is a strong liberal side as well. Sioux Falls is a great place for anyone to live, young and old. Literally!

Great place to live, but - 8/8/2011

Sioux Falls is a wonderful small city. Business leaders are fairly progressive. Downtown night life. Great Symphony orchestra, colleges, college (DII) athletics, fine people, other cultural events. Great bike/running trail. However, the political climate and culture of the state lag far behind. The ruling political gang is very conservative, lacks vision, lags in education funding and teacher salaries, and doesn't do a lot to help the down and out. Otherwise, it's a great city in which to live.

heck yea - 11/8/2010

sioux falls is the bomb, idk what the heck everyone is talking about, i currently live in oklahoma city right now, but i grew up in sioux falls, for 16 years. i love sioux falls, maybe there a little bit rude at times, but honestly who isnt? and if your not from there then that isnt a place to migrate to anyway? why would you migrate to south dakota if your not from there. that makes no sense, the biggest city there is only 180-200,000 people. and downtown area is fairly small. but if you grew up there, and actually made real friends and girlfriends. then sioux falls is your home, some place you wanna always be. i wish i could go back but currently i cant afford it, dont talk smack on sioux falls, its awesome

A Rude Mayberry! - 5/5/2010

I have lived in Sufu ( as it is called by most) for 5 years now, is a place that is quite naive,clicky, and downright rude to persons not born here. If you ain't Dutch,you ain't much. If you ain't Norwegian, leave our region. Not Scandinavian, we ain't behavin'! Just a few of the 'sayings' that are very accurate to the mindset of people here. Great place for agoraphobics and persons who like boredom and don't want to be bothered. Passive/Aggressive or as I call it BIPOLAR personalities are very much prominent. People here stare!!!! Feels like a third world country! Thank GOD I am out of here when school is! The people are colder than the weather! HORRIBLE!

Beautiful City - 11/2/2009

There is so much to do since moving here. The people are so nice and theres always something going on. We go to the Pavilion and state theatre often. The downtown sculpture walk is great on a Saturday afternoon. I am so thankful for free stuff like Falls Park and Community Concerts downtown! It is a blessing for me and my family!

This place is the end of the world - 9/17/2009

Sioux Falls is typical of South Dakota in general: no culture, no integrity, no civility, and no hope. Most of the residents are very cliquish and seem confused about simply courtesy. They are set in their ways to the point where the most common saying you will hear is: "That's the way we've always done it". The schools are a DISASTER! This state would rather incarcerate people at better than twice the national average than educate a child. It's been said this is because the locals are better suited to be prison guards than teachers. Intentionally placing a child in a South Dakota school is tantamount to child abuse. Driving is an adventure. While traffic is minimal, the quality of the drivers is scary. Look for the dumbest things they can do and you'll probably see it two or three times in a five mile trip. The best way I describe South Dakota is: I have never seen a collective group of people more arrogant about their right to be ignorant.

Moving to Sioux Falls would be a mistake - 3/23/2009

Living anyplace in South Dakota would be a miserable experience for anyone that cares about: A quality education for their children Honest government Open minded people Culture Even in Sioux Falls, the largest community in the state, the term "hick" or "redneck" is too often appropriate when describing a local. I have been often told that the best way to describe a native South Dakotan is: Never have so many been so arrogant about their right to be ignorant. That might explain why, when you ask a South Dakotan why they do something that seems to lack any form of common sense, they will tell you "That's the way we've always done it".

Healthcare in Sioux Falls,SD - 1/31/2009

In response to the writer asking about healthcare for the child with CP.I lived in Sioux Falls for 20years and worked in this field. They have "Childrens Care Hospital and School" for the needs of pediatric thru 18 yrs of age for develpmentally disabled kids or handicaps. Also an organization called "Acheive", for the adults with disabilitys. You couldn't find a better place more suited to your special needs.
