Sioux Falls is GREAT!!! - 10/10/2006
My wife and I moved from the Omaha area 5 years ago. Omaha is a great city, but the crime rate is high and the taxes will drain your bank account.
There are several positives to living in the Sioux Falls area: Low crime rate, Low property taxes, Affordable housing with new construction (residential/commercial) all over the city, Strong economy with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, An abundance of shopping/eating venues, Multiple parks/swimming pools, Excellent school system with the 3 public high schools ranked in the top 1,200 in the nation (22,000+ in US) and Sioux Falls only catholic high school ranked in the top 50 (1,100+ in US), Top notch health care system with Sioux Valley Hospital ranking in the top 50 in 3 specialties (5,100+ in US), Continuing education opportunities with public/private colleges and tech schools, Four season weather (winters can be rough), Easy access to 2 interstate systems (I-90/I-29) with Omaha and Minneapolis 3-4 hours away.

After living in Sioux Falls for 6 years... - 6/22/2006
After living in Sioux Falls for 6 years, I have went through all the phases of moving and getting acquainted with a city. I hated Sioux Falls when I moved here, I had the "there is nothing to do here" state of mind. However, there are a lot of things to do in Sioux Falls, everything from sports (we have the Sioux Falls Storm, arena football, Stampede, hockey, Canaries, baseball, Skyforce, basketball), we have the Washington Pavillion of Arts and Sciences which has a science museum and various plays, musicians, dance related shows and the Omnitheatre. We also have a nice sized mall, the Sertoma Butterfly House, the Great Plains Zoo, the Game Fish and Parks outdoor campus, and a wide variety of parks and playgrounds for the children. There are several lakes and campgrounds for those who love the outdoors, as well as the Big Sioux River and Falls Park, there are biking trails, there are many community pools, some with waterslides, and there is Wild Water West which is a waterpark

Nice Place for Natives or young families with up a - 5/26/2006
We moved here with much anticipation, but due to age, the cold winters, and the laws within the state and some within City codes. We had bad experiences with one realtor and his company, the courts here are very geared to business, as the laws are written. Therefore after two years we are looking for a fresh beginning with more

Really the Best Place - 5/4/2006
If you can tolerate the winter cold, the short but sweet summer months (full of mosquito's and wind) you'll love it in Sioux Falls. The people are first rate and very friendly. Lots of culture to choose from including sports, arts, events, theatre and dining. Most would go out of their way to help you. Crime rate is very low, so is the cost of living. Jobs are ample and the ecomony is great, gets better every year. The city offers some of the best college/university and schools in the nation. You can't go wrong moving
