Housing

Rapid City is divided into four main areas named by locals according to compass direction. South Robbinsdale and North Rapid City make up the bulk of the community's central core area with the Downtown separating the two neighborhoods. West Rapid is a sprawling, primarily residential neighborhood found "through the gap" created by a scenic and natural barrier of Skyline Drive and Cowboy Hill. Rapid Valley is located in the east, as the city transitions from the foothills to a beautiful prairie landscape. Wide traffic arteries provide easy access between the neighborhoods and interstate and highway access makes getting in, out and around the city easy. Schools, churches, shopping centers and other services are well distributed throughout the city, and the greenbelt that follows Rapid Creek through town makes a seven-mile-long park never more than a few minutes from any home.
