Dakota Dunes

• Town in South Dakota
• Rating 4 out of 5  30 reviews

Current Resident: The Dakota Dunes could not get any better, I grew up in this neighborhood, with children playing outside everyday, running around and no parent has to worry about their kids because it is such a safe place. It is very family friendly, and there are always neighborhood bonfires and parties that families throw very often. This huge neighborhood is a big family.

Elk Point

• Town in South Dakota
• Rating 3.62 out of 5  13 reviews

Current Resident: We moved here from Jefferson, South Dakota. So far, the biggest advantage about living here is that we are closer to our school. The roads are pretty nice throughout the town and there are signs posted that are easily visible, so you know warnings and etc. Everybody in the town is very nice and welcoming. The best place to eat is Los Amigos, a Mexican restaurant. The staff there is very nice too! Overall, it is very easy to find places in Elk Point and if you need help, anybody would be perfectly happy to help. I am proud to be a member of this wonderful community.

Current Resident: I love the quiet, small town atmosphere this town gives. It has the general stores and shops, a great park and friendly people!
My only complaint is the lack of structure sidewalks in the town.
