About Beresford
Tucked into southeastern South Dakota along Interstate 29, Beresford offers a welcoming small-town atmosphere for its roughly 2,200 residents. The community straddles the border between Lincoln and Union counties, originally taking root as a railroad and farming hub in the late 1800s. Today, it keeps that peaceful rural character with quiet residential streets, well-kept yards, and a friendly, neighborly pace.
Beresford is especially appealing for people who want space and simplicity without giving up convenient access to larger cities. Sioux Falls is just over a half-hour drive to the north, putting major healthcare centers, shopping, and job markets within quick reach. Families are drawn to the dedicated local school district, and spots like the city parks and the local golf course give residents plenty of ways to spend their free time close to home.
