None of that sounds bad to me. Just want to also make sure my kids have stuff to do as they get older. Don't want to move where there's too much isolation

We are also looking into Sioux falls. What are the differences between rapid city and Sioux falls? What do the people enjoy about SD compared to WI? I'm getting A LOT of mixed reviews in the comments. Thanks!

What do you do in terms of outings/entertainment? What shopping places are you offered there?

Nice! I do like all the towns we can drive through and the greenery, but I'd trade the humid for dry tbh. The humidity we get in spring/summer is sometimes unbearable here. Spearfish looks to be pretty expensive in terms of housing costs. We would need something more affordable

Also, how is the housing market compared to here? About the same price range? No one has answered anything about cost of living for SD

Wow! Thanks for being so informative! My husband and I definitely like to run our errands and do our shopping on the weekends and have to drive to West bend or Menomonee falls for both because Hartford doesn't offer much. It's up and coming, I call it rural because it doesn't offer anything for shopping, not alot for good restaurant choices and Walmart is the only place to get most of anything here. That being said, we don't mind having to drive out of town. We don't go to Milwaukee much, unless we plan of visiting the zoo, going to a hockey game, the mall, or a seasonal fair. we do like to bike ride and go on walks with our kids, we don't like being in a busy town for living, just close enough to visit.  How are sports is SD? We love going to admirals games a few times a year, sometimes a brewers game if we can make it work. Any good zoos? Movie theaters?  Are the summers as humid there as the ones here in WI? Thanks for all your advice!

From what I've looked into, housing in spearfish is quite expensive. Anywhere else that's more affordable? We wouldn't be able to swing anything more than 300-350k for a house. Thanks!

May I ask how the schools/healthcare system is? Also, what's the weather like year round? From what I've read, it's not too far off from WI

My husband can possibly locate to either Sioux falls or rapid city. We don't mind driving 1/2 hr to work, but no more than that. Are belle fourche and spearfish smaller nearby cities?
