relocation - 12/19/2008
We currently live in Lincoln, NE & I love for its city amenities but small town feel. It sounds like Sioux Falls is very similar. What we don't like are the horrible tax rates here & it sounds like Sioux Falls is much better in that respect. What I am concerned about is the availability of services for special needs children. I haven't found much information on that. Our daughter has CP & is wheelcahir bound. We love her school & she receives great services here. I have heard that healthcare in general is great in Sioux Falls but I am wondering if anyone in a similar situation has any first hand knowledge to

A Good place to live if you can stand the weather - 8/8/2008
I lived in Sioux Falls for 14 years - just moved away 5 months ago. Other than the weather, the town has everything anyone could want. It's not New York, but there is plenty of culture and things to do (I miss that). Great hospitals and schools. Housing costs and insurance are reasonable. Crime is not too high for a town its size and the people are very trusting. With all that said, it has some of the worst weather of all the places I have ever lived. The winters are harsh, lasting for months. Sunshine is rare. The summers are hot and humid, with lots of mosquitoes. If you take it one season at a time, it's not so bad; taken as a whole, the constant extremes will do you in. Sioux Falls would be THE choice to live if it wasn't for the

Life in Sioux Falls - 7/7/2008
We moved to South Dakota from Florida 6 years ago. Life is slower paced, people are honest, low racial tension, good schools. Winters can be brutal, but worth it. Good arts and music scene, dining is excellent. There is more to do than any city of its size that I have ever seen. The cost of housing is fairly low and doesn't see the highs and lows as other parts of the country. The downtown area is immaculate with superior

Don't ever move here....ever! - 6/2/2008
Sioux Falls is an awful place. Winters in Sioux Falls are like hell froze over....I didn't even want to get out of bed the WHOLE time. Summers are hot and extremely humid. There is absolutely nothing to do and all anyone ever does is go the bars and get wasted and make fools of themselves. There is not culture or diversity so you get the same person in a different body. If you are a city person, then do not subject yourself to sioux falls. Though it is the biggest city in SD, it is the worst "city" i have ever lived

What are the lakes like in Sioux Falls?? - 6/27/2007
I might be relocating to Sioux Falls from Orlando Florida. I hate it here, due to crime, and the humidity sucks LOL
There is a saying here. "Assume that there is an alligator in every body of water!". Needless to say we don't go in the lakes much here. Even the natural springs have them, and I'm not up much on being gator bait :)
I'm originally from Michigan and grew up going to the lake for every 4th of July and camping.
Are the lakes nice and clean and are there alot of woods by
