The Community
Rapid City combines the best of a multitude of lifestyles, with the
cultural amenities of city life, the camaraderie of small town
America, and the close-to-nature rewards of mountain living.
Nestled on the eastern edge of the beautiful Black Hills of South
Dakota, the area is known for its plains and pines, blue skies, rocky
terrain, and abundant wildlife.
A flourishing tourist and recreation destination, the area boasts
national attractions such as Mount Rushmore National Monument,
Custer State Park, the South Dakota Badlands, and the annual
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. An astonishing number of smaller
entertainment venues also dot the landscape. Residents as well as
tourists never lack for entertainment or new activities to try. For a
big city getaway, nearby Denver is just a few hours’ drive away,
and the Rapid City airport offers direct flights to Chicago and other
locations.
Rapid City is known for its support of the performing and visual arts,
world-class health care and its blend of western and Native
American cultures. Nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base adds further
diversity to the mix. Residents enjoy short commutes, affordable
housing, and easy access to outstanding outdoor sports and leisure
activities.
Rapid City is a growing community. Housing developments extend
the area’s perimeters in most directions, and Rapid City awaits the
completion of two new shopping malls. A new initiative to
revitalize the downtown area is a top priority for civic and
community leaders. In 2007, the National Science Foundation
announced the nearby Homestake Mine as the site for a new multimillion
dollar science research facility. There is a lot going on in
Rapid City and the Black Hills.
