Low taxes make it a great place to grow, while the gorgeous landscapes make it even more exciting to explore. Curious if South Dakota is the right fit for you? Here are some of the perks of settling down in the sparsely populated midwestern state.
Property business is particularly hot here and projected to keep growing in the coming years. Sure, you can see some of the most famous national monuments in the country (Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial), but there’s so much more to the state that’s worth mentioning.
