When you start looking for homes in rapid city, the first
thing you'll notice is areas.
What are these areas?

Southwest is, what Northwest is.

Hey, I'm Tristan Emond with mindful living Realty.
And in this video, we're going to talk about the different rapid city areas.
According to the black Hills MLS, to help you understand where the home
is that you're thinking about buying.
Tell if you understand how Rapid city is laid out, let's look at
this overview here in Google maps.
You can see here as the black Hills are on the West side, East side, rapid
city over here and right down the middle, you have skyline drive and
M Hill, dinosaur park is right here.
What you'll notice is right here through the middle is an area where the
majority of the traffic goes through.
And this is a dividing line from West rapid city to East rapid city.
This right here, it's called the gap.
The other thing to point out is Omaha straight here, but Sharon's
going to wish Chicago is the main dividing line when it comes to North
rapid city and South rapid city.
Now let's look at the zips.
This website here did a very good job of showcasing the
zips in and around rapid city.
Cause you can see, as we scroll interrupts 57702 accompanies the West side of
rapid city 57701 is the East side of rapid city 57703 is the Valley area.
If you scroll North, we'll see box elder's 57719.
This here is actually 57706, which is Ellsworth air force base.

These are the main zips of Rapid city, but as we scroll up, we
can see more around the area.

There was one thing that you really needed to be aware of though
within the black Hills area, there are two realtor associations.
One is called the black Hills association of realtors.
The other is called Mount Rushmore association of realtors.
The areas listed in our association are different than the areas literally
than the Mount Rushmore association.
The easiest way to tell which association this property is listed in, whether it
be the black Hills association realtors or the Mount Rushmore association
realtors is to look at the MLS number.
If the MLS number is above 150,000, that will be part of the black
Hills association of realtors.
If it's below a hundred thousand, that'll be part of the Mount Rushmore association
realtors, at least as of March, 2020.
Yes.
I know it's ridiculous, but that's the way it is.
Now that you know what area you want to live in, you can hone your search
based upon that area to find out the properties that are just in that spot.
Now, if you go to one of the national portals, such as realtor.com and Zillow,
they may not have a way for you to search Via by area, but only by zip code.
But if you come to my website, rapidhomesonline.com, you can
search specifically for the areas you're interested in and
get alerts for those properties.
