But after reading more and more about SD especially Rapid City I am just convinced that we would love it there. Around here everyone is always in such a rush & be quite rude at times. My family and I were walking through a parking lot & instead of the person waiting for us to walk by they sped up and swerved around us needless to say I was very happy especially since we had our 5 year old with us. So we would love to be in an easy going environment with friendly people not sure when were moving yet but hopefully very, very soon.
We are looking for an place to rent around the 500 mark to start with would it be better to look in Rapid City or smaller towns that are nearby. I have lived all around the US and it usually seems if you live a little farther out of the bigger population that rent cost seems to go down is this true for this area & if so if you could let me know towns that have lower rent we don't want a whole lot of commuting as I am sure my husband will be working in Rapid City the most. Thanks all.

No problem on the info I provided you! I'm more than happy to help out if I can! As for being under $500, it can be done....but you will have to settle for less. Less as in no more than two bedrooms, not the nicest side of town (in Rapid) living on the out skirts of town, perhaps an apartment and the possibility of a trailer home. Here in Omaha if you live in a trailer, you are TRASH. People look down on you for living in them. However, up in Rapid, it is a way of life. That is one of the things I loved about living there. People don't judge you on what you drive, where you live, where you work or what clothes you wear. They are all American people that are just trying to make it through life. Simple as that. In Rapid the thought is, "You live in a trailer? SO WHAT! WHO CARES?!?!" There are a couple towns on the outskirts of Rapid City called Box Elder and Piedmont. There are a lot of trailer home communities in there. For example, here are some I just located:

$435 1 bed (HAS MORE rooms in different locations) This guy's name is Albie. He is a foreign guy that moved to Rapid City to start a new life for his family. He didn't want to be near violence anymore. He wanted to be able to help people also. So, he moved here, saved some money, got his credit built up and then partnered up with someone and bought a mobile home park in Rapid. Since then as people move their trailers out he puts BRAND NEW ones in their place and rents them out. He is not concerned so much about a credit score like everyone seems to be. He like to sit down with you and learn about your life story and what got you to where you are now. That is how he bases his decisions on letting people move in. VERY nice guy! If you see him, tell him Brian from Midcontinent says hello! However, he probably won't remember me. lol We didn't rent from him because we wanted to be on the west side of town and could afford it, so we got a rental house instead.
