Load moreSimilar to its natural landscapes, South Dakota's rental market stretches between fast-growing urban hubs and rural neighborhoods. From prairie towns to the Black Hills, South Dakota rentals are driven by the local healthcare and manufacturing industries, as well as universities like South Dakota State University and USD. The Mount Rushmore State is also a popular tourist destination for road trippers traveling across the Midwest. Additionally, Ellsworth Air Force Base attracts military personnel and families.
Compared to states on the coast, South Dakota's price gap is relatively small. However, tourist markets near Black Hills and bigger metros have the highest rents. Small rural communities have the most affordable apartments for rent in South Dakota, especially inland towns with low populations and older properties. In this corner of the Great Plains, Rentler lists rental properties across South Dakota, updated daily as new inventory comes online.

| Rapid City | $916/mo | $948/mo | $1,250/mo |

Based on 1,212 active Rentler listings in South Dakota. Updated daily.
Smaller cities and eastern prairie communities typically have the lowest cost of living. South Dakota rentals in these affordable areas are often listed for $250–$800/mo less than comparable units in larger cities and tourist towns. One thing to note is that these rural inland markets aren't located near job centers or urban amenities. They may not be a viable option for members of the local workforce, but these South Dakota rentals are a great fit for remote or hybrid workers. Renters without a daily commute have the most flexibility on location, allowing them to find low-cost homes and cheap apartments in South Dakota.
Rent prices vary across cities. The place with the most expensive houses for rent in South Dakota is Sioux Falls, for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Huron has some of the lowest rents and most affordable apartments in South Dakota, with considerably lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
Most South Dakota rentals are single-family homes and duplexes that either have yards or are close to green spaces. Listings in suburban neighborhoods have the highest pet acceptance rates, but renters can also find many pet-friendly apartments. South Dakota's urban areas tend to have lower inventory and higher competition. Before paying any application fees, always ask the landlord for their specific pet policy to understand breed and size restrictions. But remember, these rules don't apply to certified service animals and emotional support animals (ESAs).
There's a steady supply of 55+ communities, assisted living facilities, and income-restricted senior housing. South Dakota's inventory is concentrated in regional hubs with retirement services and healthcare access, such as Rapid City and Aberdeen. Because high demand creates bottlenecks, expect long waitlists. As a best practice, apply early and sign up for multiple waitlists at once. If the facility is in a rural area, be sure to ask about transportation services and winter weather preparedness.
From apartments to South Dakota townhouse rentals, a solid share of the state's inventory is made up of short-term and furnished rentals. South Dakota renters look for month-to-month leases and furnished units for both tourism and work trips. Brookings and Deadwood have a consistent inventory, but flexible, move-in-ready properties are available throughout the state. To find them, use Rentler's 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters.
Luxury rentals are a fast-growing part of South Dakota's market. Prairie Green, Red Rocks Estates, and the Sheridan Lake Road Area are a few of the top areas for high-end inventory. Most of the units are newly-built South Dakota apartments and lofts on the river, with easy access to shopping, dining, and employers. Search for upscale properties with Rentler's 'year built' filter, and sort the results by highest price first.
