AI-generated summary of moderated reviews.
Types of apartment in Rapid City, SD
Rapid City apartments range from small brick walk-ups near downtown to newer garden-style apartments on the south side. Around West Boulevard and the older central grid, you can also find houses for rent with bungalow and ranch exteriors, front porches, detached garages, and larger yards. 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. Box Elder, just east of Rapid City, adds many newer apartments and townhome-style rentals with open kitchens and in-unit laundry, but the setting can feel more spread out. In the north and west near Canyon Lake and Skyline Drive, houses for rent are more common than large apartment clusters. Exterior style changes fast by area, so apartments can differ a lot in stairs, parking layout, and how close they sit to main roads.

Driving is the main way people get around, and many apartments are built with surface lots. Parking is often easier outside downtown.
