Types of apartment in Rapid City, SD

Near downtown and Main Street Square, some apartments sit in older mixed-use buildings with simple brick fronts, shared entries, and compact layouts. Many units in these areas have smaller closets, radiator heat, or updated kitchens inside older shells.On the south and southeast sides near Rushmore Crossing and along Eglin Street, apartments often sit in low-rise buildings with vinyl or stucco siding, surface parking, and broader setbacks from the street.
