I grew up in Sioux Falls back in the 1970s...my Dad was transferred due to his job, otherwise we would have stayed. Currently living in the Twin CIties Metro and we visit Sioux Falls every few years as we have some family in the area just across the border in MN. Considering relocating/retiring there in the near future.

I’m definitely considering moving to Sioux Falls from Texas. I hate our Summers here in Texas !
The restaurants are plentiful and great food in Sioux Falls. Huge variety too.
Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here.
Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!
Thanks for watching!
I've been interested in SF for years through researching on the internet. I don't know if I'll ever get to visit or live there but this video is top notch. Your video makes the research personal and credible. Great job. Best wishes for continued success with your business.
Thank you for the kind words! Let us know if we can help out if you do decide to move to our beautiful area!
Great info very well presented. Thank you.
Thanks so much, John! Let me know if I can be of service! Thanks again!!
In the summer of 2022, we held a family reunion in Sioux Falls; as we all moved away 50 years ago
when we were all under 22. Periodically we go back, but 18 of us and spouses went back for 6 days. It still is sure a nice small city. We have all had careers that have taken us all over the USA; but our hometown is still such a nice place as was said in this video. I have heard for years that the winters are much tamer now than in the 60s. That is good, but it sure was harsh in. days. One
of us actually retired and moved back to SF recently. We all say it was a fine pace to grow up.
Hi Mike! Thank you for watching the video and glad you enjoyed it. Reach out if we can help get you and your family moved back :)
Hey Amy, Richard Lewis here! I’m relocating to SD this weekend. I got a job there and in 2 months I plan on moving to Sioux Falls. I plan on working with soon👍
Congratulations on your new job in Sioux Falls! I would LOVE to help you find your new home here in our great city. My cell is (605) 731-9597 and my email is Amy@amystockberger.com. Let's chat!
Great information,I want to live Sioux falls, SD just for fun.
Thank you for the feedback! I want to educate everyone who may be moving to Sioux Falls South Dakota and let them know how much FUN it is and how NICE the people are. Can I ask, what was your favorite part of the video?
@@livinginsiouxfallssd when you talk about winter,.
I live in Brandon. The area is hilly and beautiful. I like it because I'm close to rural areas with cattle farms and horse stables. Lots of wooded land along Splitrock Creek and the Big Sioux River. I think it's Sioux Falls' best suburb.
Hey! Thanks for mentioning this I have been looking around and trying to locate a more rural area!
Thanks Amy. I'm actually headed that way tomorrow for a job interview or two. I moved from Michigan to North Dakota last November only to realize the brutal conditions during the Winter in that state. At 58 its a little much when I have to drive 40-60 miles or so to the nearest town to work. As you know, wind becomes a real issue when the land is almost entirely flat. I'll bet there's more trees down your way too.
I'm going to keep my little house up here but I'm not staying. I really like the southern part of South Dakota and plan to rent an apartment down there somewhere. Sioux Falls looks awesome and your presentation may just land me there for good.
I actually left a really nice town in Michigan that is also pretty conservative and cutting edge. I just tired of all the traffic as the surrounding area exceeded a million people. It became ultra popular too with people moving in and tourism etc. Sadly, the price for everything skyrocketed as a result- apartment rents rose easily by 40% across the board over the last five years.
Anyway, I'll be headed your way soon enough. Definitely looking forward to checking out a few of the places you highlighted in this video.
Hi Michael!! Thanks for watching my videos! Let me know if you need anything while you are here!! :)
You’ll also find lots of great places, restaurants to eat in Sioux Falls. Explore that area and you’ll be amazed at the difference between Sioux Falls and Fargo. Even the suburbs have some fine restaurants. The Monarch Steak House and Lounge in Renner, just on the north edge of the city has the best steaks. Brandon, just to the east has some wonderful restaurants. The costs are reasonable too.
Excellent !!!
Dear Amy,
I'm looking for an affordable place. See I'm what's known as a workaholic. However, I made a bad choice of getting into Credit cards (I highly don't recommend anyone get one). So I'm kinda strapped for cash at a forever young age of 38 (just repeated 15 years thus far, lol... oh). My debt consolidation program is over soon (last withdrawal was 3 days ago, YEA) and final creditor payment is Sept 23rd In which I won't need this body killing fast aging job anymore. So in the last 9 years me and my fiance have been living in the Coldest city in the USA 🇺🇸 (for winters), now we are hoping to move there ASAP (which ever county is the best for Men of a "certain age"). She has 11 grandchildren and most live within 3 hours (I believe) of Sioux Falls. She just had major open heart ❤️ bypass surgery. We want her to get more Family, before is too late. We do (she does) own the Mobile home we live in (needs to be sold), but I'd like to move there ASAP.
I've been working in J R Simplot for 9 years August 26th (via Kelly service) 9 years under Simplot October 7th. As well as Simplot I've done Side Gigs up the Wausau, however stopped them all 2021 April.
So now that I found you, one with such a positive outlook and seemingly great Spirit. I'm hoping you might be able to assist (please 🙏) with our next move, journey, adventure. She's a Finlander, I'm a Native American Indian. She's from north of Minneapolis, I'm from the beautiful Pacific northwest. 701-500-0825 is the best way to reach me, and a text at 1st would be great so I have a heads up. I'll only have my car payment/insurance that will follow me. As far her She's had major anxiety and depression disorder since I met her, now the heart issues. Neither smoke, nor do drugs (Well I enjoy liquor with a Coke Cola). She's not supposed to drive anymore, she can barely walk. Her closest darling Daughter lives in Brandon.
I know I wrote a book, but just wanted you to know my situation and hope You are willing to assist me. I say me because although she knows I want to get her close them ASAP, she doesn't realize how hard I'm trying.
Well dear Amy thank you for your valuable time, assistance and consideration, sincerely Robert J Landon
If your reading this make the move to south dakota . we did in 11 and it is the best place we have ever lived . were from chicago and lived all over the us. this is a great area to raise a family or retire. yes its cold and yes you can fly a kite just about every day. but the cold helps with the rift raft so thats a win . the wind will help ya still working on that one hahah ( wind turbines if you can get some) ;-) .
Souix falls is great
I spend long weekends in SF every Memorial and Labor day. I'm a journeyman electrician, would have moved there years ago but the winters suck worse than Omaha, if you can believe that. Anyways, love your city, can't wait to stay at the Holiday Inn City Center again in a few weeks.
We are putting our home up for sale in May. We are then moving to Sioux Falls.
Hi Martin! I would love to help you move to our beautiful area!! Want to jump on a call to go over the process. Talk soon!
I want to be there asap
Great insightful video. I am looking at this from Oahu, Hawaii, and am very impressed with the area, a divorce and getting full custody of my 3 kids and selling my place here, as well as the cost of everything has me looking in that direction. Although I DO have to admit at this point, it's a toss up between Sioux Falls and Omaha (Gretna, Pappilion). All look very attractive. SD is leading though because of the lack of state income tax and lower property taxes. Just looking for something completely new and different. Encountering kind, unaloof, and humble people would be a nice change of pace!.
So glad you enjoyed the video! Would love to better help and understand your situation. Please give us a call at 605-340-1933 or email us at sales@amystockberger.com so we can connect. Hopefully we will chat soon 😁
Any idea of any businesses offering relocation packages ?
Husband and I are thinking about moving there, but don't need to be right IN the city. Are there places on the outskirts? We need more specialized housing, i.e. not a regular house, more like a building to convert to
studio space. Very insightful video!!
Hi, Camille. Sioux Falls is a BEAUTIFUL city with several small towns around it including Harrisburg, Brandon, Tea, Dell Rapids, Canton, Crooks, Hartford, and so many more. We would love to know more about what you are looking for and we can find the perfect home for you. Give us a call and thanks for watching!!!!
I applied for a position with the ACLU of South Dakota so I just wanted to know how life in Sioux Falls is like thanks
Hi Roman! Sioux Falls is a fabulous place to live!! Would you like to jump on a call to discuss things further?
I'm going to be heading out to Sioux falls over the summer and I was wondering if could contact you about buying a home on the northern burrows/towns near Sioux falls.
Hi Hannah! Thanks for watching the video! Please give us a call at 605-231-4220 so we can chat about your home search!
Coming from a suburb of Dallas Texas where my property tax is 2.35%. On an assessed value of 288k I paid 6370 last year. This year our appraised value went up again from 288 to 315k. This year's taxes will be around 6700. I only have a quarter of an acre. Too many people are moving here and driving prices through the roof. Since I can remain fully remote, I've been seriously looking at Sioux Falls. I've already visited a few times. The only thing I'm worried about is how I'll adjust to the winters.
Hi Ian!! Let me know if you want to jump on a quick phone call and talk more about moving to our wonderful city :).
do it !!!! id say look with in 30 miles out side sf thats a very fast drive when you want to be in the city . we live 80 miles north and bang sams club every 2 weeks so driving is irrelevant. we wanted land and thats not cheep in this area which deff sucks .
@@livinginsiouxfallssd I could but I think renting at the cascade at sioux falls makes sense for me for now. It's walking distance to SF park and has an underground parking lot for my challenger. After I get my bearings I would like to live around the family park and USD to the west of the city.
Better be more worried about dealing with the cold people. Hun, Dallas has the friendliest people in the US. Stay where you are. Sioux Falls is soon to become the Compton of the north.
@@amerebumpintheroadwhat do you mean?
When you say there’s no property tax I get confused. All I can find is high property tax and a car tax. Can you explain what you mean by no property tax, please?
This means no state income tax:)
I live in Tennessee wish I could move there.
do it !!! lotz of jobs , to be had in our area
@@mrsmel269 how easy is it for housing
@@Daisha92 all depends. go on realtor and zillow to let your fingers do the walking for your price range. landwatch or landandfarm too more tools to pass the time. the sad thing is interest rates are going up right now . theres deff lotz of jobs to be had though. were from chicago and lived all over the country . we moved to sd in 2011 from jax florida. hope your day is going good and this helps some .
@@mrsmel269 thanks one more question is there a lot of tornados up there?
moni not like Kanasas but sadly there was 5 on the 16th of may. we have been here sense 2011 and there was only 1 before last month. were still working on the house we have a video of the action if your ever board. and yes i would still move to sd any day . only thing is were 80 miles from sams(souix falls to the north.). but thats by choice and am 8 miles from work. ;-) not sure if you wanted to be in sf but theres lots of options. hit me up if you got any more ??? love to try to help.
Ask how the government spends its tax dollars. There was a recent huge increase in assessed property costs and property taxes. Why does it have so many potholes? Why does it have such low voters turnout?
Hi Ger! Thanks for watching the video.
Sioux falls SD needs to make some taller or tallest buildings in the state. Even taller then the ids building in Minneapolis mn.
Why?
Because without the tall buildings! Sioux falls looks like small regular size town. Just like Minneapolis minnesota an tell me later.
No!
You must be a Democratic Liberal absolutely haste ignorance of wrongful sleepy Joe bidden's non sense thinking! I probably laugh about that later.🤣😂😆😅🤠🤡👻🤣hahahahaha
Why? What makes a big sky line so great? That’s old world and no longer means success or a happy environment.
How is diversity ? As a mixed family what do you think ?
While not the most diverse city, Sioux Falls is gaining in that category. The three largest minorities are: 4% African American, 3% Hispanic and 2% Asian. As an Asian in Sioux Falls with many Asian, black, and Hispanic friends and acquaintances, I have never felt judged or discriminated against, or known anyone who has expressly felt this way in Sioux Falls.
I d move butt everyone I know is back in mankato ulm

I hate to hear real estate appreciation like that. It’s wonderful for the owner, I fear for our kids. Where I live housing is unaffordable for a couple with a combined income of $140k. Mostly I’m looking for a new state where the voters love the constitution. Do you guys deal with the rapid city area, agents there?
We love SD and our governor, lots of amazing people here!! We do not have agents in the Rapid City area but I can definitely refer you to a friend of mine that is just great! Let me know!!
I love it here
We are glad you love it as much as we do!
