Moved out here 3 and a half years ago. Started out in Deadwood but it was up on Stage Run Rd (newer apartment building) so slightly detached from town. Loved the neighborhood but not the neighbors so moved to Spearfish after 9 months. Love Spearfish and in my biased opinion is where it's at...and we are at the gateway to the canyon. We don't have a ton but we have all that we need, and anything else can be found in RC.
Great Video! We moved to Lead/Deadwood area from Virginia Beach, Va. I love that you call the hills mountains, because I do too. Moving from sea level where everything is flat these are mountains!
Looking into that area coming from Chesapeake, VA. I heard that Lead/Deadwood is the only area in the hills that gets significant amounts of snow which is what we are after. The housing market is few and far between currently but hoping to find something soon!
Custer has built up a lot in the last 15 years. I was there in 2005 and spent the night on our way to visit the faces and there was only a Pizza Hut to eat at. The diner down town was only open for certain hours. Came through last November and it is a lot bigger now than back then, totally different place.
I live in a tourist town in Colorado, it has gone to hell from the tourists and the prices are double what you quote here. Spearfish is like Aspen and that ain't good
If and when you come to do some research on Hot Springs, feel free to hit me up. I live here and would love to tell you about some of the amenities here, like the Moccasin Springs mineral water spa, and Buffalo Dreamer, which I work at. Lol
We love Moccasin Springs and Buffalo Dreamer. My opinion and my daughter’s Buffalo Dreamer is the best restaurant in South Dakota USA. We also love Antunez in Spearfish.
Will you be following this video with another one but with a map and some B-roll? Can you also comment on crime and corruption? There are several sources that warn of both, so the small towns, long expanses, etc. make that worrisome. Your current governor sounds like a breakthrough, but can she survive the corruption around her, root it out, improve things, or is she part of it, losing to it? Can you even safely comment on the topic? It’s a small world there, as you describe it, after all. 😅
Watertown is the best place to live east river if you ask me. Right in between Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, right off the interstate, nice lake, nice people, etc. not too big or too small. Opinions will vary strongly though ha. I do get tired of the diesel truck boys being loud all the time but they’re mostly here for Lake Area Technical College (formerly Institute) and it’s a phenomenal school. I’ve been to multiple colleges and this is by far the best and most affordable I’ve ever seen, personally. Cheers.
I believe almost all of them have hospitals, but they are all owned by Monument Health in Rapid City. They're all small hospitals too, which means that you almost always need to be transferred to Rapid City to be treated. The only college is Black Hills State University in Spearfish.
watch out! some of these houses might get on the list of abandoned list, so others can walk in some houses, and 'film' trash, dirty toilets, and food left in the fridge! you know, the people who have nothing better to do, except get money from you tube people, but not I
There is a huge variance. We are currently building in Boulder Canyon. Our builder said it will be $180-$200 sf. Again, it depends on what you want inside. We are doing all hardwood floors and outdoor kitchen etc. so it will be on the higher end of that

I've got my eye on Spearfish as well.

I've been there twice and I am orginally from Newport News,VA haha
I find these videos much more beneficial and impactful when there is a cut away video to the towns themselves for context.
Great, GREAT info Christian. Thank you.

I am very interested in Hot Springs, I want to know about internet service, water quality, weather in the winter and health care! ! 🤗
Definitely interested in the black hills especially if my company moves out there
This video was super helpful thank you !
Could I get any info on the new developments around Hill City? Looking to buy this summer
Hi! We were all poised to move to Rapid City, but now hear that it has a really high crime rate. Can you tell us more please? Thanks
I heard Hot Springs has the warmest weather in South Dakota.
No that's the water , Freak !
Other towns to check out include Black Hawk, Hermosa, Piedmont Belle Fourche, and Whitewood
Call me crazy but I'm thinking about leasing one of those old army ordnance bunkers just south of Edgemont.
Hi Chris, do you have 55 and older communities out there? I'm planning on leaving NYC in 5 years and will be 55 in that time.
What about apartments? What are the rent prices for the towns you are mentioning?
Hi Christian: WOW, I get to be the first commenter! I am so happy! Another great and informative video. WELL DONE!
Hey, thanks Paul!
All that interest in Hot Springs ... it's closer than the water at Lourdes?
Do you have a video on best places to buy country property outside city limits? :)
Awesome videos....thanks for sharing! Just wondering, are there quite a few golf courses in the surrounding areas?
Thanks for the info, can you comment about rentals as well, availability, prices or who to contact.
What do people do to earn a living in the area??? Been looking at home prices...very CA market esk prices...
Thank you!!!
Cool run down.
What would you say is the best town for young families? Leaning towards Spearfish
Expensive though
What about Pringle SD?

i was born in Watertwon and have thought about going back is it just like a normal small town?

Don't tell anybody about Cascade Falls! :)
Which of those towns have hospitals (outside Rapid City)? And is there a college in any of those towns?
I believe almost all of them have hospitals, but they are all owned by Monument Health in Rapid City. They're all small hospitals too, which means that you almost always need to be transferred to Rapid City to be treated. The only college is Black Hills State University in Spearfish.
@@jproductions6208 there's also the school of mines in rapid lol
@@ihadalife1177 I believe that Lisa was asking about the towns mentioned in this video.
@@ihadalife1177 Also Mines sucks.
Spearfish has Monument and Black Hills State University
OK dork , beat it !

Technology they are mountains NOT hills, small mountains yes but still Technology mountains.
How about price per square foot (building)?
There is a huge variance. We are currently building in Boulder Canyon. Our builder said it will be $180-$200 sf. Again, it depends on what you want inside. We are doing all hardwood floors and outdoor kitchen etc. so it will be on the higher end of that
Just as much as they can get .
Lol. None of the houses IN Keystone are anywhere near that price.
:)
Deadwood is nothing like it was after Keven Costner & Hollywood money bought it up/ many historic buildings gone
How about natural disasters in South Dakota?
Only snow in the hills
None since I moved out '76.
