Known
for the world-famous Mount Rushmore, there is no denying Black Hills
has some of the most picturesque landscapes one can find in a
location. That’s not all; it's packed with diverse wildlife which
attracts nature lovers worldwide. It's also served as the set for
1900s epic film, ‘Dances with Wolves’ starring Kevin Costner,
which has garnered several recognitions from prestigious award-giving
bodies such as the Academy and the Golden Globes.
Its
major metropolis, Rapid City, houses the famous City of
Presidents—the life-sized bronze statues of American presidents
here are made by the state's very own artists. This region definitely
holds the art in high regard, even having its own film festival that
showcases the young and undiscovered talents of local and
international independent filmmakers.
Among
the major contributors to its economy are its rich industries of
agriculture, mining, tourism, etc. Employment rate is also largely
affected by the state's strong health care sector aside from large
construction companies, quarries, and trucking firms. Its stable
economic system is also linked to its high literacy rate; at least
89.8% of the population finished high school and 25.8 % has a
bachelor’s degree or higher.
Looking
for a place to retire or a new city for your growing family? This
little gem is surely one to look out for. Offering a balanced
lifestyle and a not-so-densely populated area, take a drive this
weekend and see Black Hills for yourself. Check with local brokers
about available properties that suit your budget.
