South Dakota Apartments For Rent

South Dakota, home to the Black Hills and the badlands of American cowboy lore. If you're looking for a laid back, slower pace of life, surrounded by beautiful scenery, then South Dakota is the state for you. The gold rush in the early 1800's shaped this state and while it is still mined here, it is not as important to the economy as it once was.

Quality of life in South Dakota is good, especially in relations to finances and education. Overall, the cost of living is about 4% below the national average. South Dakota apartments can be had at 16% below average for the rest of America. And residents pay less per capita tax rate than any other state in the Union. In addition, the residents don't pay corporate, personal income, property tax, nor inheritance taxes of any kind. South Dakota ranks number one in the country in high school completion as well as first in the number of internet savvy computer students.

The weather is one of the few downsides to living in the state. Summers are hot and cloudless while winters are dominated by blizzards repeatedly throughout the cold and snowy season.

Pierre is the state capital and is a very small city, home to 14,000 residents. The economy is squarely focused on agriculture, tourism and government. This city keeps the focus on education ranking 20th in the country and serving as a model for the rest of the state. If you're looking for a diversified urban area and nightlife, then you may want to consider living somewhere else. Apartments, while inexpensive, are few in number.

Sioux Falls is the state's biggest city and is considered of the best places to live in America. It recently scored an A-plus ranking as one of America's most kid friendly cities. It also ranks third on the list of least stressed out places to live, and fifth on the list of best places to start a small business in the country. Cost of living ranks 32% below the national average, so it is a very affordable city in which to reside. The median price for an apartment is about $520. The average monthly rent for a studio is between $325-$450 per month. One bedroom apartments rent for $350-$550 while two bedrooms rent for $450-$800, depending on included amenities. Three bedroom places start at $650.

The second largest city in the state is Rapid City. Again the economic focus is on agriculture and tourism. The median rent for apartments in this area is $500 per month.
